Popular K-Pop Idol Faces Backlash For Confessing He Disliked A Junior Group
Singer Kim Jae Joong confessed his disappointment with juniors in a recent episode.
On August 22, Kim Jae Joong met with 2PM’s Jun.K for his YouTube channel series.
They recalled the first time they ever met.
Actually, the first time we met was on a music broadcast show. Honestly, I was a boomer back then.
— Jae Joong
He then confessed the moment he felt disappointed by them after fifteen years.
2PM hesitantly greeted us, so I called Shinhwa’s Minwoo. I think Minwoo hyung probably called you guys separately.
— Jae Joong
To this, Jun.K responded that he remembered that day exactly.
I remember exactly. I cannot forget that day. I thought Minwoo hyung was really mad at us, but now I see that we were scolded because you told on us to him.
But after that day, we changed how we walked and greeted our seniors.
— Jun.K
But now, Jae Joong has accepted that times have changed since then.
The world has changed these days, and I’ve accepted it. Think about how sad we would be if our juniors didn’t greet us, considering we grew up like that. I want to get to know the juniors more.
— Jae Joong
Juniors, please don’t misunderstand us. It’s all because he wants to become close to you all.
— Jun.K
However, netizens criticized Jae Joong for unnecessarily bringing back up the past.
- “Aigoo.”
- “The fact that Jae Joong told on Minwoo and Minwoo actually going to scold them is just…”
- “He’s just talking about his past I guess.”
- “I think they were checking up on each other.”
- “Kim Jae Joong’s mouth is always the problem.”
- “He said this himself?”
- “It’s a problem whenever he opens his mouth.”
- “I’ve seen this story several times. But I mean both of them have a past of drunk driving.”
- “It’s a story from 15 years ago, what’s the point of bringing it up again.”
- “Is it because he’s old now…it’s time to let go of the past. He doesn’t know when to stop.”
- “Seriously…is this necessary?”
- “It’s always a problem when he opens his mouth.”
- “He talked about this with his own mouth?”
- “What’s wrong with him.”
