Visibly startled, Jackson reacted by covering his face with his shirt, seemingly to hide his embarrassment. The moment drew mixed reactions from fans at the venue, while clips of the incident quickly went viral across social media platforms.

The video has divided the internet. While some fans found humour in Jackson’s stunned reaction, many expressed concern over the breach of personal boundaries. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “He looks so uncomfortable. Did no one read the room?” Another comment read, “I feel bad for Jackson, nobody should be kissed without their permission. He looks shocked.”

Several others pointed out how the incident highlighted the need to respect an artist’s personal space, especially during live interactions. On the lighter side, some fans joked about Jackson’s bewildered expression, with one user quipping, “And he became a meme again.” Another added, “Bro, his face is actually frying me.”

Although Jackson hasn’t directly addressed the incident, he later appeared on an Instagram Live session on October 8, where he spoke about entering a “new chapter” in his career. “That’s what MAGIC MAN 2 is about,” he shared. “A lot of you think I’m still not recovered, that I’m in my darkest days right now — no, hell no. I found peace in my heart. I’m very happy now. I’m solid.”
