5. Someone booking 2EYES rather than TWICE.

In 2016, Pukyung National University attempted to book then-rookie girl group TWICE to perform at the college, but made the mistake of hiring the lesser-known group 2EYES instead. They even claimed in flyers they were handing out that TWICE would be performing, and had to apologize for their mistake! They did eventually get TWICE to perform at the university later on.

7. WeGirls announcing a member departure in the pettiest way.

Three years ago, girl group WeGirls gained attention online due to the seemingly shady way they confirmed a member leaving. Netizens suspected that Ellie had left the group when their Instagram biography changed to read “We Girls 3rd Member rules: No Liar, No Hypocrites, No Alchol (misspelled), Youth and Passion”. Needless to say, the pettiness amused many people!

9. Stray Kids’ Bang Chan’s BBL rumors.

Finally, also earlier this year, Stray Kids leader Bang Chan had to address ongoing rumors that he had received a BBL (Brazilian butt lift). During a livestream, he was asked about the rumors and had to look up what BBL even meant, basically denying getting the procedure without even trying. It was an entertaining time for the fans who witnessed it!
