Red Velvet's Yeri gets hate from netizens again

Netizens sprang up in arms to attack Red Velvet's Yeri once again, this time for a harmless remark she uttered on a recent airing of 'A Hyung I Know.' 


The cast of 'A Hyung I Know' and Red Velvet were playing a version of Jeopardy when someone asked Yeri to sing a verse from Buzz's most popular track "Coward," an old favorite that is apparently known to a majority of the Korean people. When Yeri failed to remember how the song goes, the cast members, especially Buzz's vocalistMin Kyung Hoon, were vastly disappointed. Though they attacked her mercilessly for not knowing the song, it was all in good fun. However, the netizens were less forgiving. One netizen uploaded captures of Yeri from 'A Hyung I Know,' writing with understanding, "'A Hyung I Know' shared a video of Yeri saying she didn't know Buzz's 'Coward.' Someone from 'A Hyung I Know' claims that [what Yeri said] was simply based on the script. Even if [the program] wasn't based on a script, Yeri was seven years old when Buzz's 'Coward' came out. But...lololol...the comments...lololol." The netizen the shared the captures of some comments from netizens, who are mostly of the opinion that Yeri acted out of line in making a joke out of Buzz's song. 

They wrote, "I want to beat her up. How does she not know;; looks like she's a singer," "better than your songs," "Yeri is at fault. How does she now know Buzz," "Am I the only one who thinks Yeri is as rude as hell?" and, "rude ass bitches, they dare make fun of sunbaes?"

You can watch the clip for yourself above.  Do you think netizens were too harsh?

Ji Hoon is a former singer who was a one-hit wonder. He now owns a restaurant and is happy with his playboy lifestyle and has no interest in settling down.

TWICE's lyrics for 'Cheer Up' spark controversy and debate

Not everything is going well for TWICE with their "Cheer Up" promotions despite their perfect all-kill and many YouTube views.  Looks like netizens have a problem with the lyrics for alleged sexual discrimination.

An online community had a hot post stating that the lyrics "A woman shouldn't give her heart easily" was sexist.  The poster wrote, "The thought that 'a woman shouldn't give her heart easily' is a gender stereotype, isn't it?  I'm uncomfortable with making rules like 'a woman has to [do this or that].'"

This sparked intense debate on line with most netizens stating, "It is a shame that they missed a part that could open up misunderstanding," "It is true they should have been careful," and more.  

On the other hand, a portion of netizens also argue, "I don't think it's a controversy," "Such insignificant stuff is a controversy," and more.  Yet another group of netizens wrote, "The lyrics that became a controversy is at the fault of the lyricist," "It is wrong to put the blame on TWICE for this controversy," and more.

One netizen stated that you can't just cut the lyrics and analyze a small portion, you had to link it to the other parts of the lyric, which say that you have to do push and pull.  What are your thoughts?
