A wave of clips from a recent military event has been going viral online, featuring a lineup of hugely popular idols and actors — but one quiet moment in the footage has left fans feeling heartbroken for Kwak Dong Yeon.
According to Koreaboo’s report, the clips come from the Ground Forces Festival on October 3, 2026, where stars including Lee Junyoung, Kim Youngdae, MONSTA X’s I.M, Rowoon, Woozi, and Kwak Dong Yeon appeared together, drawing massive attention from fans online.
The moment that sparked the outpouring came after the performances: one video showed the actors and idols receiving gifts from fans. The original poster pointed out that while the others were visibly carrying gifts, Kwak Dong Yeon appeared to have nothing in his hands as he walked onto the bus.
Netizens flooded the comments with sympathy for the actor, with one writing, “I feel bad for him…” Others shared heartbreak at seeing him seemingly overlooked next to his fellow stars.
No official statement from Kwak Dong Yeon or his agency was included in the report. The clip continues to circulate as fans send the actor their support.
