Main vocalist Koreaboo reports that he assisted Wonyoung when her hair and makeup team wasn't available by asking his own staff to work with her.

A source who was there and wished to remain anonymous told reporters that Junho remained attentive to Wonyoung's comfort, fetching her water and towels throughout the evening. "He noticed she was crouching in her tight dress and immediately asked her to stand up, making sure she was properly positioned for the final photo," the source said.

Sportskeeda added that Junho also discussed ways with the event staff to manage the group photo efficiently. He asked the male idols to stand in front so that the female artists could pose safely, without being worried about their outfits.

"Junho's awareness of the situation and his subtle, respectful gestures stood out to everyone watching," the outlet noted.

Netizens shared their admiration online, as Junho's behavior was seen to be very natural and gentlemanly towards his fellow artist: "It's rare to see idols act so thoughtfully without fanfare. Junho really sets an example," one comment read on Koreaboo. "He wasn't just being polite; he genuinely cared about her comfort. What a man!"

Fans immediately turned the moment into a trending topic, praising not only Junho's attention to detail but also his humility. Onlookers said such small acts are increasingly appreciated in K-pop culture, where often professional interactions go unnoticed by the public.

An AAA spokesperson termed the incident "a touching display of camaraderie and respect between artists" that helped highlight the importance of kindness behind the scenes at large-scale entertainment events.

With the clips of Junho's considerate actions circulating online, many call for more awareness of the thoughtfulness shown by senior artists towards their younger peers.

Sportskeeda, in their conclusion, stated: "It's gestures like these that leave a lasting impression on fans and set a standard for professionalism and respect in the industry."
