Following the appearance, on October 18 (KST)Hanni and Minji did a live broadcast where they spoke about the appearance at the National Assembly Audit. 

A clip has been shared online and is gaining attention where they spoke about the event, in particular the moments that Hanni was seen crying.

Minji: Aw, I love the video that you sent me. That was very cute.
Hanni: Oh, ha!
Minji: Can I talk about it when we do behind-the-scenes?
Hanni: Yeah, sure.
Minji: Guys…
Hanni: I was making a lot of weird faces… and tears, too. Hahaha.
Minji: Well, a lot of people probably cried with you at that moment.
Hanni: I’m only human, so… I can cry, too. When the tears started flowing… It was funny. I mean, I knew it would happen. It was bound to happen. But I definitely noticed the camera shutters going off a lot more once I started crying, haha.
Minji: I only got to watch the beginning of your speech because I had a schedule to get to. So, as soon as I got done, I looked it up. And she was crying! There were tons of photos of her crying!
Hanni: Who took those photos?! Let’s have a little chat, hahaha.
Minji: I was like, “She cried?!”
Hanni: Yeah, I couldn’t help but cry, lol.
Minji: But in my heart, I was thinking, “That’s my girl! That’s my girl!” It looks like they’re saying they all cried, too.

When the clip was posted, it was hit with a lot of backlash as many netizens thought the members were treating it like a “performance” rather than an important event about a serious issue that many people are impacted by.

It isn’t the first time a topic linked to Hanni’s appearance sparked backlash, and you can read more below.
