In a YouTube video for W Korea, the singer was asked whether she would be upset if her boyfriend were to help her friend pick up perilla leaves with his chopsticks. The leaves are infamous for sticking together, especially when marinated, making picking them up notoriously fickle for even the most seasoned chopstick users.

After giving it some thought, the idol admitted that she would not be fazed, stating, “I don’t think it’s a big deal if he helps.”

The ‘Perilla Debate’ alludes to a hypothetical question surrounding perilla leaves. As stated above, the leaves tend to stick to each other, making it difficult to pick up one leaf at a time. The debate is regarding the question, “Would you be okay with your significant partner holding down a stack of perilla leaves with their chopstick so your friend can pick up the one on top?” The seemingly harmless question has spurred a national debate regarding dating etiquette, with passionate arguments made on both sides.
