KATSEYE singer Lara Raj has responded to viral backlash after she stated that Noah Schnapp’s Stranger Things character Will Byers “looks hot” in the show’s fifth season.

In a TikTok video posted following the premiere of the first four episodes of Stranger Things season five, the 20-year-old “Gnarly” singer described the show as a “cinematic masterpiece”.

“And Will looks so hot,” she added. “He looks so hot in that last scene – I’m like, period! You’re giving.”

The singer’s comment was met with fierce backlash online due to Will being played by actor Noah Schnapp, who was previously at the centre of controversy for his support of Israel amid the country’s military action in Gaza.

Some fans of the Grammy-nominated musician argued that her comment had nothing to do with Schnapp, only his character, while others suggested that she was essentially saying she found Schnapp, 21, attractive, despite his contentious past statements.
