Bride of the Water God actor Nam Joo Hyuk, recently visited the Philippines for an event with singer-actress Sandara Park.
Days after the said event, photos of the actors' arm surfaced online. Some stating that the "scratches" were caused by fans during the meet and greet event.
The theory came after a video circulated online, where fans "touched" the actors' arms and waist, to the point that Nam Joo Hyuk started to look uncomfortable.

However, it was revealed that the actor already had the said scratches even before the meet and greet session.

Moving forward, netizens are still furious in regards with the girls forcibly hugging the actor, even if the hosts clearly instructed them to not touch the celebrities on stage.
OMG! So #NamJooHyuk went to my country for #PenshoppeFanCon and I'm super disappointed with some of the fans. I'm really sorry you had to experience this! 😞 You know who you are perverts, real fans don't treat their idols like this! #DaraAndJooHyukforPenshoppe pic.twitter.com/GpCRRNatw0

While some are hoping to separate the issue between the scratches seen on his arms, and what the fans did during the photo session. Ana Rivera on Twitter wrote, "We all agree that some of the fans during the photo op disobeyed the rules and acted inappropriately but let's stop spreading fake info."
