HYBE Girl Group Member Caught In Scathing Allegations About Discriminating Fellow Member
Recently, KATSEYE‘s Megan shared about the time when she was “beefing” with member Yoonchae.
HYBE Idol Admits To Fighting Group Mate Before And After Debut
Megan admitted that she had not been behaving, lashing out at Yoonchae due to stress while preparing for and after “Debut.” At one point, Yoonchae claims that Megan was “acting like a b*tch,” and that she did not know the reason why. Megan concluded that she was angry “over nothing” at times as well, chalking it up to her young age of 17, and her emotinons.
meichae beef explanation (full storytime… with a skit in between)

Fans later called Megan out for pinning it on Yoonchae, especially given that Yoonchae had not been fluent in Korean at that point in time. Yoonchae was also the youngest.

Korean fans began calling it racism, criticizing Megan for picking the easy target.
아니 근데 다른 영미권 화자 멤버들한텐 안그랫으면서 영어가 서툴고 자기보다 어린애한테 자기 화풀이를 했다는게 너무 차별적임… 윤채는 자기한테 왜 그랬는지 지금도 모르겠다고 하잖어 ㅠㅠ 윤채가 정말 대인배고 고생많았다…. https://t.co/2zf6b0LFMO

No, but she didn’t do that to the other members from English-speaking countries. Taking it out on a younger girl who isn’t fluent in English is discrimination. Yoonchae herself said she didn’t know the reason. Yoonchae is so saint-like. She suffered so much…

Another fan brought up an incident where Megan had to name a fruit for each girl. She chose banana for Yoonchae, leading Yoonchae to ask “why” twice. A banana is often used to refer to Asians due to the color.
이것말고도 메간이 데뷔초에 멤버들하면 생각나는 과일 말하랬는데 윤채 바나나라고 함
윤채가 당황해서 저 왜 바나나예요 2번이나 물음 https://t.co/rCp20UQvW7 pic.twitter.com/J7w0WRJPjo— 피레 (@pilema137095) November 26, 2025
Despite this, some defended Megan, claiming it to have come out of teenage spite rather than racism or discrimination.
U literally took this minute long video out of context. If U only understood the entire live video you would understand they were both pretty closed w/each other. It’s never about being racist/discriminatory.Why the hell would it become discriminatory when it’s just teenage spite https://t.co/phDkjBMIVd

The two are extremely close friends now and Megan is always seen taking care of Yoonchae. The girls have already made up, closing the book on this chapter.
