During a birthday livestream for another member, Gunwook was seen eating 11 of 14 strawberries off of the cake.

The ‘strawberry controversy’ is that Gunwook, who ate 11 strawberries even though there are 9 members, seems to be the one to blame. It’s not even his birthday cake; it’s someone else’s birthday cake, so why did he eat so much?

While some netizens believed this behavior to be selfish in the presence of the other members, many chimed about how ridiculous the “controversy” is.

This is so hilarious. Every time there’s a controversy, it’s always some ridiculously funny one that I’ve never seen before. Embarrassing.

Others found Gunwook’s big appetite endearing.

The kid seems to have a huge appetite. Even in the self-filmed content, there’s no food left in front of the other members, but he’s the only one with a full plate, lol. This is so funny. At this rate, I might end up getting attached to Gunwook.

International fans also left comments, referring to it as excessive scrutiny.

When the post gained traction on a Korean forum, netizens found the whole thing silly.
  • “Ah, why is this so funny?”
  • “Over some strawberries…”
  • “Everything becomes a controversy, lol. This is just funny.”
  • “Isn’t this from the group introduction show? Why are people talking about 9 members, lol?”
  • “It seems like he just ate them all because he likes strawberries without thinking much. It’s not like they were limited to one strawberry per person, so what’s the big deal if he eats them all?”
  • “Lol, they’re calling this a controversy now?”
  • “Yeah, there are 9 members, but only a few were there because it was the group introduction show.”
  • “People are making such a fuss over food…”
  • “It seems like he ate them unconsciously since they were in front of him, but he could’ve at least pretended to offer them to the other members, lol.”
  • “They’ll figure it out among themselves… Sigh…”
