10 Times Idols Said Something They Shouldn’t Have, And It Was Caught On Camera
1. HOTSHOT’s Ha Sungwoon (He was promoting with Wanna One at the time)
Wanna One’s live broadcast became a major controversy when the members were talking to each other thinking they were off camera. In particular, what people thought was Ha Sungwoon saying the “F-word” over and over again became a big issue leading to their fans going as far as to send their audio clip to a laboratory for analysis. The results showed that Ha Sungwoon did not say what people claim to have heard, but the credibility of the laboratory is a whole other story. Netizens were also upset about their reference to the slang term for “handjob”.

4. Baek Yerin (formerly of 15&)
Baek Yerin responded to a hater on a live video with “F*ck you too, b*tch”. Later in the video, she also added, “Don’t hack my account!

5. Jenissi (formerly of TOPP DOGG)

Through a screen capture, netizens found out that he had written “stop hitting me b*tch” and “f*cking b*tch” on the back of the sketchbook.

In the audio clip, Hwayoung said, “I like being called oppa, not when I hear it from fans though, I fucking hate that. Ya, Fuck. It’s so annoying when we do the Hi-Touch. You know, the Hi-Touch? Like when you hold hands and greet fans after the concert is over. Everyday I go through like 700~800 people and I feel like I’m going to puke. Their fucking breath smells like shit.” The group’s agency made an official apology and Hwayoung was kicked out of the group.

You know why I bought a f*cking R8? I bought it so that I could run away from taxis you little pieces of sh*t!…but even the car couldn’t escape the f*cking taxis.
— Jaejoong
