In her Instagram Story upload, Raline is seen taking a photo with Junho. The two look close, smiling warmly at the camera, which makes many K-Pop fans in Indonesia feel jealous. However, it's not just the photo that is in the spotlight, but the caption that Raline wrote for the photo moment together.

The incident began when Raline uploaded a photo with Junho on her Instagram Story. The photo showed the two standing side by side, smiling at the camera with an elegant event background. Not long after it was uploaded, the photo immediately received great attention from fans, especially because Raline used a fairly controversial caption.
"Who is this? He asked for a photo. Please those who like Korean artists," wrote Raline, quoted by brilio.net from Instagram @ralineshah, Thursday (5/9).
Netizens' reactions also emerged. Some felt that the caption was just a light joke, but many considered that the statement was disrespectful to Junho as a popular figure among fans. The caption was considered to ignore the fact that Junho is one of the Korean artists with a lot of fans, including in Indonesia.

"I'm sure Raline is joking. Korean fans are really excited," said @dindahrp99.
"He only knows Seungri, because they are both problematic people," said @lausandika.
"Netizens are calling it problematic just for a little joke, it's strange indeed," said @larasatiputrynt_.
"Outside of the context of the story, for those who know, he & his family have long been known to be problematic. No wonder, he still hangs out with Seungri and is even invited to family gatherings too," said @derratiii.
"Is Raline Shah being sarcastic? But seriously, I don't get the context of the joke," said @adryan1066.
