Seungri, a member of South Korean boy group "Big Bang", is under fire from Chinese fans for his ill-mannered acts caught during his train trip between Chinese cities on July 11.
An image of the K-pop star was uploaded onto a Chinese online community and quickly spread across multiple sites. The image showed Seungri having a nap with his bare feet leaning against the window.
Chinese online users reacted furiously with thousands of posts and many negative comments. A Weibo user said: "He should have been more careful. He is, after all, a popular figure and everyone is watching his every move."
However, some were sympathetic and one said: "He must have been so tired. People make unintended mistakes when they are so tired."
