He left a comment on a video of a cat being bathed. The cat was one that happened to be suffering from an illness that left it hard of movement. It seemed like Jong Hyun did not know about this before he left his comment.

  • Park Jong Hyun: “I…don’t know if I can say this, but did you boil the cat once or something?”
  • Park Jong Hyun: [reply] “Gwaenchana…ding ding ding ding…”
  • Comment: “This cat has problems with movement. You can’t say something like that.”
  • Park Jong Hyun: “I’m just trying to make everyone laugh. Did you need to come for me like that?”

A post on X about his comment has gone viral with over 2 million views. Many felt that some things were better left unsaid.

If you doubt if you can say something, why must you go out of your way to say it?

Others simply called him out for being rude.

Don’t take it out on others when you’re the one who can’t decide if something should be said or not. You can’t be like ‘oh are you triggered?’ after you say something rude. It’s so childish to say what you want to unilaterally without a filter, and just run off like that.

On the other hand, his fans expressed pity for the situation, suggesting that he should have apologized instead of fighting back.
