Verivery's Minchan under fire for calling female idol 'ugly’ (pannchoa)

The issue seems to be big amongst Korean fans and has also appeared on twitter
 

 
Pannchoa article:
 
Minchan (Guy on the left - M): During my 3rd year of middle school, oh there was this celebrity who transferred to our school 
 
Hoyoung (Guy in the middle - H): A celebrity?
 
M: yeah
 
H: Is she still a celebrity now?
 
M: I'm not sure
 
Kangmin (Guy on the right - K): Then they are sunbae-nims
 
M: I don't know but back then, if you write the group name on Naver, they would pop out
 
H: Ohhh then they are sunbae-nims
 
M: But it's not like they had an album or songs out, they had a team name and she was one of the members of the group. So I thought "oh she's a celebrity" but.. how can I say this.. my fantasies were broken. Back then for me, if you were a celebrity, it meant that you were pretty, handsome - like someone from another planet. But somehow she looked very familiar. Because, we always see faces like ours right? Friends at school don't wear makeup and whatnot right? That friend didn't have outstanding looks or anything so... I thought "oh celebrities are humans too". But she was riding some white van car so...
 
H: Crazy, then she must've been a sunbae-nim..
 
M: Their team name had 4 syllables and it started with ㅂ(B).
 
H: Verivery? (베리베리)
 
All: Laughing
 
H: It was Verivery! It was Verivery!
 
M: The team name started with B...
 
H: That's why it was Verivery
 
(...)
 
H: It was a man right?
 
K: Weren't you talking about a woman?
 
M: No
 
H: Ah it was a woman?
 
M: Yeah
 
(...)
 
original post: here
 
1. The other two were trying to stop him but why can he not read the room? He's saying such useless things
 
2. If only he didn't talk about her face, it was a thing that could've been easily avoided so just did he talk about it? Was it some schoolmate he hated?
 
3. No but ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If he goes by his standards, he wouldn't have debuted either
 
4. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I don't think that what he said was super bad but it's f*cking hilarious how he kept on going and wasn't able to read the room at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
 
5. He's judging other people's faces but just like he said, he himself doesn't look outstanding either. Seeing how he didn't seem to pick up the 2 others' cues no matter how hard they tried, he just seems dumb
 
6. He's a nobody though ㅋㅋ
 
7. If someone is dumb, it's not themself who is gonna suffer but the people around them ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah just how hard that guy in the middle wanted to smack that senseless guy in the back of his headㅋㅋㅋㅋ
 
8. But I don't think that there's much to say about that f*cker on the left if he was to judge his own face thoughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
 
9. He's all cheerful by himself...
 
10. The guy in the middle must've lost all his mental strength towards the end
 
11. Seeing the two other members being so frantic is even more pitiful ㅠㅠ
 
12. That kid in the middle kept saying that she was his sunbae and trying to snap him back in his right mind... he's kinda pitiful..

how dumb are you to not only call another idol ugly on camera, but also hint at her identity as well? hell, idols have even gotten into hot water before for being exposed talking shit about other idols predebut, so did he really think he could say something like this on camera and get away with it?

I feel like if i criticize him for calling an idol "not that pretty" (which might not even mean ugly, just not that pretty), it makes me hypocritical bc i also have called people ugly, and like it's pretty normal for people to talk about celeb's looks with their friends. You see it all the time here in OH so yea. But it is unusual for an idol to talk negatively about another idol unprompted, like at the very least you're stopping fans of that idol from being fans of your own group as well.

Okay, so he didn't called her ugly but normal. Which is still disrespectful. Idols are still normal people, they aren't god lol.

Honestly, should've keep his mouth shut especially as an idol. And this is why mangers & companies have to mentor everything their idols do cause....

I can understand Korean, frankly this translation isn’t accurate and leaves out the entire bit about him giving clues to the girl’s identity 🙃 I’m not going to post something very clearly created by a fan to shield him when even Koreans are calling his actions thoughtless

  • blossoms changed the title to Verivery's Minchan under fire for calling female idol 'ugly’ (pannchoa)

He should've just kept his mouth shut, and it's especially insulting to hint at the girl group's name. Pity, I was curious about Verivery because I liked Get Away.

in my opinion the translation in the tweet is accurate but still misleading – sure, he wasn't directly saying "oh, it's weird that someone so ugly debuted as an idol" but he WAS being passive aggressive by saying that "the plain jane from my school gave me a wake-up call about celebs" (the little throwaway comment where he goes "cause she's not that special looking" is pretty outright though)

it's a stretch to defend him based on the first half of the video alone (but I get it, you technically can), but the whole second half of the video where he's trying to incite fans to discover her identity is so so wrong and just confirms that he said the first bit on purpose

Some people are saying Berry Good.

i thought he said the group name had 4 syllables though? 베리굿 only has 3

anyway this was in poor taste obviously and if i worked at jellyfish i would've cut that livestream so damn quick

This isn't even being accidentally 'caught on 4k' or something. With the amount of time he had to shut up and reroute, he basically consciously wanted to record his own stupidity for the world. Impressive.
