Pia Wurtzbach, the esteemed Miss Universe 2015, recently lit up social media with her witty comeback after being teased for “staring” at DK, a member of the popular K-pop group SEVENTEEN, during a high-profile fashion event in Milan. The playful interaction unfolded after a fan account captured and shared a 30-second video clip on X (formerly Twitter), showcasing a momentary glance shared between Wurtzbach and DK at the Milan Fashion Week.
The video, which quickly captured the fancy of netizens, depicted the Filipina beauty queen apparently fixated on the male idol, sparking a humorous fan comment, “Ms. Pia Wurtzbach was actually staring at DK. Pila po tayo sa likod, Madam.” Embracing the jest, Wurtzbach retweeted the post with a light-hearted response, “‘Wag kayong magalit. Napatingin lang eh! Hindi ko kayo sisingitan sa pila!” indicating she had no intentions of cutting in line for DK’s attention.
The exchange elicited a wave of laughter and playful remarks from Carats (SEVENTEEN’s fanbase), with fans engaging in the banter by referencing Pia’s marriage to businessman Jeremy Jauncey and jesting about their own “queue” for DK’s attention. Queries about DK’s real-life charm compared to his online persona added to the spirited conversation.
The viral video has since amassed over 20,000 likes and reached 1 million views, showcasing the light-hearted side of fan and celebrity interactions online. Despite the playful “controversy” over her brief admiration, Wurtzbach, a devoted wife and global star in her own right, continues to captivate audiences with her charm and wit.
Both Pia Wurtzbach and DK were among the constellation of international celebrities attending the Milan Fashion Week, with Wurtzbach making appearances at several high-profile shows including Fendi, where she was joined by another renowned fashion icon, Heart Evangelista. DK, on the other hand, was spotted at the event for the luxury Swiss fashion house BALLY, further highlighting the global allure and star-studded nature of the fashion week.
