During a performance at the 2024 Circle Chart Music Awards, fans noticed that NCT Dream’s Jisung was nursing an injured hand. Although the injured area was small, his knuckle was scraped raw and bleeding.

Fans deduced that it was due to the cuff coming loose. During their acceptance speech before the performance, Jisung’s hand was absolutely fine. Here, the cuff is turned out, with the beaded ornaments facing out. Worn like this, the ornaments would have zero contact or friction with his skin.

During the group’s performance of “ISTJ,” the cuff was turned in, with the uncomfortable ornaments coming into contact with Jisung’s skin. Fans alleged that the beads had injured him.

The cuff was still in place when they performed “Hot Sauce.”

By the end of “Hot Sauce,” the cuffs had been loosened considerably, with perhaps one of its fastens coming undone during the intense dance break.

You can see the state of the cuffs at the end of the fancam.
Jisung’s cuff was turned in on itself during “ISTJ,” where he sustained the injuries. The sharp ornaments scraped his hand during the choreography.

Fans are duly upset at the stylist for not being more careful. The multiple scrapes and scratches on his hand broke the hearts of many fans.
so it’s not only one scratch… hope the stylist can pay more attention to this

The beaded ornaments were set in metal, making them sharper than one thinks.
Who de hell put ornaments inside the clothes? Knowing that ornament is hard and sharp n will hurt his hand…
