Hyolyn, who is one of the mentors on the show, was evaluating the contestants’ performances when she suddenly asked her co-mentor, JUSTHIS, if they were supposed to take the contestants’ visuals into account while scoring them. The rapper responded, saying that he had indeed been scoring the contestants based on their looks in addition to their skills.

Hyolyn: Do good looks also get included in the scores?

JUSTHIS: It does, of course! I have been including it.

When Hyolyn mentioned that she had not taken visuals into consideration at all, the rapper reasoned that it was a part of their charm as idols.

Hyolyn: Really?

JUSTHIS: Yeah.

Hyolyn: But I didn’t include it even once.

JUSTHIS: Doesn’t that count as charm? Since they’re idols…

The clip of this particular interaction between the two mentors was reposted on X (former Twitter) by a netizen. The OP (original poster) expressed their discontent with Hyolyn’s disregard for visuals as a judge.

JUSTHIS is right. for the first time, I’m disliking Hyolyn unnie a little.

However, the OP’s criticism of Hyolyn hasn’t been received well by other fans. Many felt that putting weightage on looks in an idol survival show highlighted a sustaining issue in the K-Pop industry where vocal skills are seemingly dropping in priority.
