Popular SM Entertainment Male Idol Is Going Viral For Calling Out Korean Men
Earlier in the year, EXO‘s Kai went viral for calling out the behavior of male students.
EXO’s Kai Calls Out Disrespectful “Incel” Behavior Of Male Students To Female Students
It seems like it must run in the blood of SM Entertainment idols, as NCT‘s Johnny is going viral for something very similar.

During the recent episode of his show, Johnny Says, the idol was speaking about relationship advice and had some stern words for some young men.
When one said he hadn’t confessed to his crush because of an age gap and then added, “I’m only twenty, a beginner in society…”
Johnny was quick to call out the excuse as he said, “You don’t have much…I don’t think she has much either?”
Moving on, Johnny asked if they showed signs, and when the man said that he did things like pouring water and setting out silverware, the idol was having none of it. He explained, “That’s just manners. That is etiquette.”
The clip went viral after being posted by Korean fans.

🐱 왜 고백을 안했어요 ?
👦🏻 세살 차이나는데 제가 너무 가진게 없어서 ..
🐱 그쪽도 가진게 없을것 같은데 좋아하는 티는 냈어요 ?
👦🏻 네 식당가면 수저 놔주고 ..

International fans found the clip so funny, loving that Johnny wasn’t afraid to call out Korean men and their lack of manners towards women.

Bruh, nowadays men are such losers yo!! Damn clowns. Basic ass manners in considered flirting. I’m genuine when I say, I honestly don’t understand wanting to date. Like it’s genuinely a mystery to me. I’m being so fr. https://t.co/wxbU2xWzi3

Korean men should have a class on how to treat women nicely, like setting up utensils?? It is bare minimum https://t.co/a3wcODd9t8
