Producer Ryan S. Jhun apologizes after coming under fire due to using derogatory term for female idols

[My Everything]

Producer Ryan S. Jhun has issued a bunch of apologetic tweets with vaguely the same message after coming under fire for his comments on DC Gallery that were derogatory towards female idols.

The controversy started when netizens found his replies on DC Gallery replying to users making vulgarities out of girl group names and using a derogatory term for them.

A netizen had created a post to question if Ryan Jhun was short on money, given how he was producing for many female idols recently. The netizen had used the derogatory term, boj-dol, in the post. It was found that Ryan Jhun left the comment “I seem to (produce) well for boj-dols“, which many naturally took offense to. Boj-dol is a term that combines the offensive word for the vagina and the word for idol. It is a derogatory term that refers to female idols.

Netizens proceeded to criticize him for past incidents like dissing KARA, for which he apologized for(as did the group he produced for), among other things.

People are … skeptical of his explanations, and understandably so.

Now we all know what he likely thinks of his own girl group. I feel bad for the members of Bugaboo.

this is awful  knowing he worked with so many GGs and now he debuted a GG  he will be careful when to say stuff like this, but I doubt he will change

Sounds like he might be bitter that he’s making so much idol music.

As a producer he probably makes more money from GGs anyways so I wouldn’t bite the hand that feed me

Anyways he’s one of my favourite Kpop producers so I’ll forgive him

No most of them hated him for the songs lmao. They just found this so they’re conveniently using this when 90% of them were just mad about the songs

a piece of shit exposing itself

 

[satoori]

ewwwwww

[MinnieMax]

He is not an idol so no "oppa didn't meant it / he is just a human" protection for him thankfully

Also friendly reminder that Weeekly has two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, so Jhun is referring to minors by their genitalia.

Very dissapointing. He makes good music for some of my fave ggs. Female idols should stay away from him from now!

Yikes

I liked him as a producer but that's gross, especially in the case of Weeekly where a few members are literally minors.

His name seemed familiar but the only tracks I have on rotation written by him are SHINee's Lucifer and View as well as Victon's What I Said.
