What is this management?” A fan of X pointed out that the singer may also be struggling with his outfit, commenting, “Different angles of it look like he’s really struggling with his tie.” Another fan of the singer quoted the video that went viral on social media and shared, “How do you expect me not to worry when you throw yourself to the ground like that? I would’ve jumped the fence.” Another person posted their concerns for the artist and said, “If he does that in front of me, I think I’ll have a heart attack because I don’t know if it’s true or not.“Many others commented that they should have climbed the barricade, and were surprised by the fact that none of his group came to check on him afterwards.
