Fifth-Gen Idol Faces Backlash For His Response To A Sunbae
On December 3, TWS’ Shinyu and Dohoon appeared on the SalonDrip YouTube channel.
After a bit of a chat, host Jang Doyeon asked the members who they felt they were talking to.
To this, Dohoon answered right away, “My aunt…”
Leader Shinyu couldn’t help but give him the “stare” as he was not impressed with his answer.
Dohoon, seeing that this wasn’t going as planned, tried to make up for it.
Host Doyeon also didn’t give up hope and asked how old his aunt was.
77…..79!
— Dohoon
However, he failed once again after finding out that Doyeon was born in 1985.
However, she gave him one more chance to make up for it and asked the question again.
My niece! She’s born in 2012!
— Dohoon
Although everyone laughed at his answer, Korean netizens felt that he lacked a sense of wit.
- “What’s wrong with him.”
- “Stop bringing guests like this. It’s not fun at all, and they’re rude. They aren’t even that popular.”
- “Typical Korean guy.”
- “If it were a female idol, people would’ve been mad saying they were trying to act young.”
- “I like Jang Doyeon.
- “It’s not feeling bad because of the age, but it’s because it just shows how bad he is on shows. He doesn’t have a sense of wit for a question like that. Even when she gave him another chance, he blew it. I don’t think this would look good from a senior’s point of view.”
- “Rather than being rude, Doyeon gave him another chance after Shinyu called her an older sister. In that setting, he could have just passed it off in a fun way, but he couldn’t and went too far and called her his niece. It’s just boring and that’s the problem.”
Meanwhile, the boys were also caught right away by host Doyeon while trying to play it cool.
