After stepping down from his position as head coach, Sergen Yalçın, who had stayed away from the public eye for a long time, was caught on camera at a night venue in Istanbul together with his actor friend Eren Hacısalihoğlu. The duo spent the night at the venue. A brief commotion occurred when the press tried to take pictures at the exit of the venue. During this time, it was alleged that actor Eren Hacısalihoğlu showed harsh attitudes and cursed at some members of the press. Later, Hacısalihoğlu got into Sergen Yalçın's car and left the venue. A woman sitting in the back seat of the vehicle, trying to hide from the cameras, also drew attention. These moments resonated widely on social media. During the tension, Sergen Yalçın did not make any statements and remained silent to questions.
