'Bride of the Water God' actor Nam Joo Hyuk revealed to already have scratches even before being forcibly hugged by fans

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.

A photo of the actor's arms during the press conference, held hours before the event, even shows that the Korean star already had the marks on his arms.

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.

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."
