According to Allkpop, the idol, during the beginning of his performance of 'Equal Sign', started interacting with fans that were close to the stage. He shared that "There’s a song called “Equal Sign', and its first lyric is about how we view each other as equals — 'There is no one above us/There is no one under us.' Staying true to that message, instead of me being on stage on a higher level with the audience below, I wanted to truly connect with my fans by engaging with them directly and seeing them eye-to-eye. This connection with my fans has been incredibly meaningful.”
During the aforementioned segment, the idol went down from the stage and got up close to the fans near the barricade to interact with them.

As the footage of the incident went viral online, many fans reacted to the video and started online debates on social media platforms. Many fans criticised the person and shared how boundaries should be maintained no matter what.
A lot of fans also conveyed worry over the fact that this may ruin the segment for future attendees of J-Hope's concert. Indonesian fans even shared that this may have ruined their image but were also quick to point out that the person was a foreigner.
