Jun Hyun Moo’s Comments Towards Lee Jun Young After “Embarrassing” Moment At The “4th Blue Dragon Series Awards” Spark Extreme Backlash
A moment that was initially brushed off as a simple mistake at the 4th Blue Dragon Series Awards has now become a major point of controversy, with host Jun Hyun Moo facing intense backlash for how he handled the situation involving actors Lee Jun Young and Lee Jun Hyuk.
The incident took place during the Popular Star Award segment, where Lee Jun Hyuk was the official winner. However, due to a name mix-up, Lee Jun Young mistakenly walked on stage instead. After realizing the error, Lee Jun Young immediately handed the trophy to Lee Jun Hyuk.
Jun Hyun Moo, who was hosting the event, tried to ease the tension by making a joke.
Lee Jun Young is also a popular star, but this year, Lee Jun Hyuk was the top star. I should’ve pronounced it more clearly.
— Jun Hyun Moo
While many saw the moment as light-hearted and resolved, some viewers were left uncomfortable with Jun Hyun Moo’s comment, accusing him of making the mistake worse and turning it into a joke at Lee Jun Young’s expense. The popular TV star’s Instagram has since been bombarded with comments demanding an apology and heavy criticism.
- “Even if we assume you couldn’t hear clearly in the noisy venue, I’m upset by how you made the person who went up feel embarrassed and then laughed it off. You think that’s funny? What exactly was so funny? This isn’t your first mistake at an award show — if you keep repeating them, they’re no longer mistakes, they’re intentional. I’m not expecting a sincere apology, but if you’re not fit for the role, you should know when to step down.”
- “You’ve always been careless, yet somehow you’ve stuck around this long. You’re the one who should apologize, but instead you put someone else on the spot and acted like nothing happened.”
- “You need to apologize to Lee Jun Young.”
- “Apologize to Lee Jun Young.”
- “You have to apologize!”
