Despite the interaction, fans were also shocked at how in sync they were when crossing their legs.

kinda funny seeing how he’s trying to clean up his image through his interactions with the artists. & it’s also funny how it was supposed to be the artists greeting the CEO but it somehow turned the other way around

gyuhao being perfectly in sync crossing their legs was so funny https://t.co/t68ECpZ0r0
