Rookie Male Idol Gets Accused Of Verbally Abusing MBC’s Female Staff Member
Title: It’s seriously quiet for a rookie boy group member having this kind of controversy
If a female idol had something like this blow up, she would’ve been ripped apart like crazy whether the facts were confirmed or not. Male idols really do have it easy.
— OP
The post particularly gained attention due to Red Velvet‘s Irene and her past controversy.
In the comments, many agreed with the OP and noted that, even now, Irene still gets hate for her controversy. Yet others believed that the difference in reaction stems from popularity, with Irene at the peak of her career when the scandal hit, compared to a rookie idol.
- Jealous of Korean men living life on easy mode.
- For real. If it were a female idol, online communities would’ve already exploded.
- It’s been over 5 years for Irene and the top comments are still filled with hate comments, but male idols really do have it easy. I looked it up and he’s the group’s pushed member, so the silencing is insanely strong.
- I feel bad for Irene.
- For real.
- But you guys criticize when female idols have controversies and also criticize when male idols have controversies….
- Being a nobody is practically a title of honor.
- Isn’t it just because he’s ugly as hell and an unpopular member?
If it were BTS, do you think it would be this quiet right now? - This isn’t about male vs. female idols, it’s about fame difference lol. Back then, Irene was the top visual and top in recognition, with countless ads running. But that male idol, I’m hearing his name for the first time now lol.
