Fans have accused Billboard of excluding the Korean member of KATSEYE from a social media promotion for the group's new single.
Billboard shared a post after the release of KATSEYE’s single “Animal.” The post featured a group photo and individual images of members, but Yoonchae was the only one without a separate slide.
Screenshots circulated on social media, prompting accusations that the omission singled out the group’s Korean member. Fans called on Billboard to add an individual photo of Yoonchae.
At the time of the report, Billboard had not responded to the criticism. The incident occurred on July 26, 2026.
