While on ENA variety program “City Z Goes to the Countryside,” Eunbi and Jungwoo were on opposing teams. During a game of “Red Light, Green Light,” each person had to crawl wearing baggy pants layered over their actual clothes.

However, Eunbi shocked viewers when she attempted to slow down the rival team by pulling down Jungwoo’s pants.

Jungwoo was caught off guard and asked the staff if this was allowed.

Is it right to take off our clothes?

— Jungwoo

Jungwoo continued to crawl as Eunbi kept pulling down his outer pair of pants until he escaped.

While some interpreted the video as lighthearted and funny, many netizens in the comments agreed that the behavior was inappropriate.

“Even as a non-fan, I thought it was a bit much.”
“It’s not about being ‘overly sensitive’; wasn’t that just wrong behavior? They’re not even close, lol.”
“Does Jungwoo really look like he’s laughing because he finds it funny? The more I think about it, the more annoyed I get.”
“Let’s pull down your pants too, lol, since it’s for a variety show.”
“I’m not a fan of Jungwoo’s, but this seems like they just went in without thinking. Please use your brain before acting, Eunbi.”

Additionally, many interpreted Eunbi and Jungwoo’s bond as a friendship that is not yet close enough to behave in such a way. Netizens also considered how the situation would be handled if the roles were reversed.

“The viewers aren’t finding it funny, and it doesn’t even look like Jungwoo is laughing because he finds it fun. Plus, Eunbi and Jungwoo aren’t even close. I can only think of this as rude.”
“What the heck, Eunbi, why are you pulling down our Jungwoo’s pants?”
“What is Kwon Eunbi doing?”
“Why did she have to pull down a male idol’s pants?”
“Is it right to take off someone’s clothes? Do you not understand the rules at all?”
“? Lol, wtf is going on, seriously 😅😅”
“Why are you doing this, Eunbi?”
“Ah…”
