Adult Fan’s “Creepy” Compliment To Minor Idol Sparks Massive Outrage

A recent interaction between a minor idol and an adult fan at a fansign event has sparked heated reactions online.

The idol in question is Keonho from BIGHIT MUSIC‘s youngest boy group, CORTIS.

At a recent fan event, while all the members were interacting one-on-one with fans, a much older fan was heard complimenting Keonho as the “sexiest” ’09 liner.

This interaction has sparked major controversy, with many netizens arguing that if the genders were reversed in the same scenario, people would have been more up front with their criticism about how inappropriate the whole scenario was.

• “If a man had acted like that to Ian, it would’ve caused a huge fuss.”
• “You’re right, but no matter how valid your point is, if you say it on a female-dominated site, you’ll just get hate. Honestly, the mentally unstable crowd that lives on those sites always argues that anything a woman does is fine and everything a man does is a problem… Sure, there are some reasonable people on Pann too, but let’s be real, there are way too many who aren’t lol. Just wait till tomorrow morning — the comments will be flooded with stuff like ‘What’s the problem with that? Men and women aren’t the same,’ lol.”
• “If a man had done that, the radical feminists would be freaking out and calling him a ‘Hannam.'”
• “That man is 17, you say? Not 27?”
• “Sigh… seriously, get a grip. Do you really want to say that kind of stuff to someone born in 2009? If I were that kid, I would’ve been cursing you out in my head. They’re 17 — seriously? Isn’t that just a first-year high schooler?”

This isn’t the first time an older fan’s interaction with a CORTIS member has caused a controversy. Read more about another recent instance here:
