&TEAM’s Maki Calls Out Nicholas: Fans React Amid Misunderstanding

UPDATE: &TEAM member Maki has sparked controversy by publicly criticizing fellow member Nicholas on Weverse, leading to a wave of reactions from fans. This incident unfolded on November 7, 2025, following a preview of their reality show where Nicholas allegedly commented on Maki’s table manners.

Maki expressed his frustration directly to fans, stating that Nicholas’s remarks were disrespectful to his parents. The outburst has left fans in shock, with many urging Maki to resolve the issue privately rather than airing grievances publicly. One fan tweeted, “No, but you guys should solve it between yourselves. Why are you coming to us?”

As the situation escalated, Maki’s comments prompted significant backlash from fans who criticized him for “tattling” instead of addressing the matter with Nicholas directly. Another fan remarked, “I can’t believe that he’s tattling to his fans because his pride got hurt.”

However, clarity soon emerged. Nicholas responded to Maki’s accusations, explaining that his earlier comments had been misinterpreted. He clarified, saying, “I didn’t say that Maki had no table manners. I was referring to a sheep that was eating too fast, and it was edited poorly. Maki actually has really good table manners.” This revelation indicates that the incident was a considerable misunderstanding.

The fallout highlights the pressures and expectations placed on idols within the public eye. Fans are left discussing the implications of such public disputes and the importance of communication among group members.

As this story continues to develop, fans are keenly observing how both Maki and Nicholas will address this situation moving forward. Will they reconcile publicly, or will tensions linger? Stay tuned for updates on this evolving story.
