Previously, LE SSERAFIM held a company workshop via live broadcast for Chuseok. In one moment, Yunjin made comments about Chaewon‘s iconic bob. Netizens were shocked when Yunjin referred to Chaewon’s hairstyle as “c*nty bob,” which provoked Chaewon to ask what the phrase meant. Yunjin promised to explain later.

The video went viral, with millions of views across social media platforms. Fans were surprised to hear the C-word used in an official broadcast and wondered how Yunjin would explain it to Chaewon.
Originally, “c*unty” was a slang misogynistic insult. Yet, recently, it’s been reclaimed, and it’s used basically similarly to describing someone as a “bad b*tch.” According to Rolling Stone, “A new generation has been reclaiming ‘c*nt’ online, eliminating its misogynistic meaning and positioning it as something aspirational.”
Yunjin was actually quoting a meme specifically during the live broadcast. On September 11, The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (also known as the VMAs) was held. LE SSERAFIM performed their hits “Crazy” and “1-800-hot-n-fun” at the 2024 VMAs Pre-Show. Drag queens Plasma, Amanda Tori Meating, and Dawn served as correspondents during the event, and upon seeing Chaewon, they reacted to her bob with “this c*nty bob,” which went viral. Plasma even quote-tweeted the now-viral video of Yunjin and Chaewon’s conversation over the line, tagging the other drag queens.

Now, Yunjin has kept her promise to explain what “c*nty bob” means to Chaewon.
In a recent virtual fansign/video call, the fan asked Yunjin if she really did explain what “c*nty bob” means, which Yunjin confirmed. She was shy in revealing how she explained it, telling the fan, “You know how I explained it.” However, she did reveal the members’ reactions, saying they all were just surprised, responding with, “Oh?! Are you allowed to say that?”
