A behind-the-scenes mix-up involving xikers and STAYC is going viral.
Recently, a story xikers member Seeun shared with fans on a private Bubble chat made waves online.
He said, "At dawn, our manager told me to get on the bus, so I did, but only about half our members and staff were there," adding, "I was just sitting when the manager suddenly rushed over and told me to get off."
"Turns out, I had gotten on STAYC’s bus — they’re our seniors," he continued. "Their staff were about to board ours and looked confused, and that’s when we realized something was wrong."
When a fan joked, "Isn’t the destination the same anyway?" Seeun laughed it off: "That’s true, but…"
Fans reacted, saying, "He almost snagged a free ride on the seniors’ bus," "Since STAYC has a member with the same name, it kind of works," and "It’s hilarious that even the staff got confused."
xikers and STAYC are under KQ Entertainment and High Up Entertainment, respectively. The two companies, both located in Seoul’s Mapo-gu, are just a one-minute walk apart.
