You should be embarrassed by the low level of professionalism that your photographers handle.

[jsjsjbjjs]

Stray kids deserves an apology and the “professional photographers” literally suck at their job and are so unprofessional

[AmscraySam]

The photographers were incredibly rude & racist to Stray Kids, calling them unemotional and assuming they don't understand English when they literally all speak 3 or more languages & two are *Australian*. They should be ashamed and their companies should rethink whether they want to work with such men. Utterly disgraceful, and for such a highly respected event.

These photographers were SO INCREDIBLY DISRESPECTFUL to Stray Kids.
They did a piss poor job, filming the ceiling instead and making incredibly rude and dismissive comments.
Perhaps they shouldn't be working high class gigs if they don't have the basic level of professionalism and good manners to keep their mouths shut and do the job they were hired to do.
VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!

The part where they disrespect Stray Kids is borderline disrespectful and disgusting. The unprofessionalism shown here is worse. Fix your mistakes, The Independent, and apolise to Stray Kids. Racism should not be tolerated.

[hanako-xn]

The photographers were completely disrespectful to Stray Kids and we must apologize to them

[lustraykids]

How is it possible that these kinds of people work here and are demoting to a high-ranking group.
I would sincerely be very grateful if those photographers are fired and also if they publicly apologize to the STRAY KIDS group.
