Surely you all know about Heechul's recent scandal involving sensitive statements while
drunk on the live broadcast on the evening of February 9.
Yeah I know, it’s shocking Specifically, Heechul's statements include
first, harsh insults to people on the forum "Women Generation", a famous Daum Cafe page
that supports feminism; second, his support of YouTuber Bogyum, a youtuber who is said
to have discriminated against women, considering his signature greeting "Boiru", an acronym
for v*g*na in Korean; third, pulling jokes on Cha Eunwoo, making his image suddenly become
rude in the eyes of fans; and finally, swearing at catmoms for no reason.
Well maybe I don't need to recount what Heechul said in detail because everyone must have
known those words by heart due to constantly researching the case.
What I want to convey in this video is why Heechul is doing this and is he okay.
Everyone knows that Heechul has always been famous as a savage idol when constantly making
unfiltered but still very funny statements, but this time, it seems that he has gone too
far, saying words that couldn't be ruder since he thought that fans would still see him as
a funny person with great sense of humor like before.
Actually many people admit that they have never thought Heechul was savage or funny,
all they see is just an extremely ungainly and ridiculous guy, and that’s why they
just don't understand why so many fans still spend hours watching this guy talking nonsense
without getting bored.
One thing that's noteworthy is that Women Generation and Heechul have really hated each
other for a long time.
Women Generation has a great influence on female students and feminists, whereas Heechul
often spends time on forums whose members are mainly males who hate feminism.
However, a netizen said that the fact that Heechul keeps repeating how he was hated by
Women Generation while he was the one who cursed back at them made no sense and even
painted himself as a mean guy.
If he was a real man, he would just stop at litigation and wouldn’t complain about it
all the time as well as insult others like that.
Considering the fact that Heechul once had disrespectful behavior toward Irene in Knowing
Brothers, in particular throwing his shirt at her and demanding "wash it!", and the fact
that he despises Women Generation and catmoms, netizens believe that the male idol is actually
a person with toxic masculinity and anti-feminism mindset.
Some people even wondered how Heechul was able to debut and become famous when his personality
was so rotten and distorted.
Their discontent towards Heechul was so great that they even dragged the other members of
Super Juniors into the mess, saying that Super Juniors is full of toxic men who are subject
to society's vices and women discrimination, considering the fact that Shindong said women
should not be fat and Kyuhyun made Goo Hara burst into tears right on television.
I have to admit that SM has been really struggling these days, so many bad things have happened
in just a few months: being taken over by HYBE, GOT The Beat not doing well, controversy
over buying awards for NCT127 and NCTDream, and now Heechul with weird statements.
But to be fair, Heechul hatred for Women Generation is valid because he was so fed up with being
constantly summoned there for people to curse all day.
Moreover, some revealed that this forum is actually very evil as many of its members
used to curse Sulli after her death as well as smearing Heechul’s image, leading to
him filing a lawsuit (and winning the case).
That's why fans said that haters should stop putting words in Heechul's mouth, assuming
that he is anti-feminist just because he doesn’t like that forum.
Actually, Heechul's only fault is drinking during the livestream and swearing too much,
aside from that, he has no personality problems and doesn't do anyone any harm.
Moreover, he also publicly apologized and although there are still many people who don't
accept his apology, they'd better mind their own business and stop cursing Heechul or else
they will become the same person they hate.
Beside Heechul, Minji is another idol being brought up as the subject of criticism recently.
So, after NewJeans announced that Minji had become an ambassador of Chanel Korea and is
in charge of all 3 fields: Clothing, Beauty, and Jewelry, she immediately became the talk
of the town since netizens noticed an unusual detail in the announcement post: Minji wearing
Calvin&Klein items and blurring the brand's logo
Many wonder why Minji doesn't wear Chanel in an obviously Chanel-related post, instead
she wears Calvin&Klein and then has to blur the logo in such an unprofessional way.
Besides, while Chanel had not yet made any move to announce Minji as an ambassador, Min
Hee Jin hurriedly put the cart before the horse, resulting in Minji being embarrassed
when Chanel didn't even like or comment on that post despite being tagged.
While most netizens still don't understand what Min Hee Jin's intentions are, some are
more quick-minded, realizing that all this is just her dirty media trick to get people
talking about Minji more, regardless of positive or negative.
Well, some are really naive to think that the blurred Calvin&Klein logo is just a coincidence.
Did you notice that instead of choosing another photo or properly deleting the logo, Min Hee
Jin just blurred it?
Also, do you know who is currently the representative of both Chanel and Calvin&Klein in Kpop?
Yes, that's Jennie.
The inclusion of the Calvin&Klein logo in a post about Chanel was Min Hee Jin's intention
to “mess” with Jennie, reminding her that there is a potential young female idol about
to take her place as a gem of these 2 brands.
And indeed, right after that post was published, many news reporters immediately got it and
wrote titles like this:
To this point, tons of Jennie's fans are feeling extremely upset and confused at the same time.
They think that Minji implicitly “declaring war” on Jennie and trying to steal her Chanel
icon position is extremely ridiculous and silly because Minji definitely doesn't deserve
to be put on the table with Jennie in terms of fashion.
Back in the time when kpop was not yet familiar with high fashion, Jennie had to bring Chanel
to many stages and events to have the opportunity to be invited to Paris Fashion Week by the
brand and was given the regional ambassador title, and then officially the House ambassador.
Jennie's long journey to such a position was filled with perseverance and passion, that's
why whenever her title Chanel’s House ambassador was spoken up, there is a luxurious and precious
vibe floating in the air.
Therefore, the fact that she is always pampered by the brand is nothing debatable.
Meanwhile, Minji is only a few-month-old rookie, has never had any Chanel-related activities
and even rarely wears the brand's items.
In short, she has not yet made any effort to promote the brand’s products, yet in
a blink of an eye, she held the title of Chanel Korea ambassador.
This for Jennie's fans is both a joke and a great insult to the title.
Considering Minji's sunbaenims from the same company like Suga or Jimin, who have been
in the industry for 10 years yet have only recently been named the ambassadors of Dior
and Valentino, the fact that Minji gets such a privilege while hasn't been an idol for
a year really gets on netizens’ nerves.
Leaving aside the never-ending battle between Minji's fans and Jennie's fans, we come to
a big shock when he confirmed that Jungkook was definitely the actress' ex-boyfriend.
He posted an explanatory video on Youtube with a title that couldn't be more triggering:
"Can’t deny these proofs, Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi used to date".
In fact, the two have been caught up in dating rumors before, but HYBE quickly denied it.
However, with Lee Jin Ho's latest revelations, rumors of a romantic relationship between
Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi are heating up once again.
Well, it seems like Jungkook's bad luck is as surprising as the way he changed his image.
So, Lee Jinho said that Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi met through an acquaintance and started
dating 2 years ago and then ended their relationship at the end of May last year.
It is currently impossible to confirm whether the two are still in contact with each other
or not.
For the reason why he knew this, Lee Jin Ho said that he discovered an account using Jungkook's
ID posting a review on an online shopping site.
Looking at the purchase history, he saw that the product name coincided with the Chanel
bag that Lee Yoo Bi once showed off.
Not only that, the time when the above account purchased the bag was quite close to the day
Lee Yoo Bi posted the photo of the bag on her personal instagram.
Connecting these facts together, Lee Jin Ho assumed that it was Jungkook who bought the
bag for Lee Yoo Bi.
In addition, he also said that the two used to travel to Jeju together and emphasized
the bead bracelet that Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi used to wear.
He surmised that this was a bracelet of special significance to Lee Yoo Bi's family as both
her mother and brother-in-law also wore it.
Therefore, the fact that Jungkook is an outsider but wears the exact same bracelet proves that
he has a close connection with Lee Yoo Bi.
Currently, the two's agencies have not yet responded to this new evidence.
However, without waiting for insiders to speak up, fans quickly protested to protect their
idols.
One netizen said that if Lee Jin Ho took the bracelet as proof of dating between Jungkook
and Lee Yoo Bi, she might be both dating Jungkook and was Lee Yoo Bi's relative because, well,
she also has the same bracelet which was a gift from her mother.
Besides, the fact that Lee Yoo Bi's Chanel bag and the one bought by Jungkook's ID look
similar doesn't mean that these two artists are dating.
First, that bag model must have been produced by Chanel in hundreds of pieces and it is
not uncommon for many people to buy the same bag at the same time.
Second, it's possible that Jungkook's account indeed purchased the bag but that doesn't
mean he bought it for Lee Yoo Bi.
Moreover, many people don't understand why any celebrity couple that gets exposed has
ever traveled to Jeju together, while everyone knows that place is packed with paparazzi
and reporters who are always spying there to take pictures and prying into the private
lives of idols.
Therefore, the claim that Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi went to Jeju together seems quite absurd
and forcing.
So, do you think Heechul's actions are wrong and is he really okay?
Can Minji take Jennie's place to become Chanel's new darling?
And do you believe that Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi used to be
a couple?
