아이돌 됐으면 말 가려서 하는 법이나 제대로 배워 할 말 못 할 말 구분도 못 하니 논란 안 됐다고 문제가 아닌 게 아니라 그냥 인기 없어서 아무도 관심을 안 가진 거야 pic.twitter.com/tWT3lK1d8Y

If you’ve become an idol, then you should at least learn to watch what you say. You can’t even distinguish what to and not to say. It’s not that there was no controversy. It’s just that you’re not popular enough for anyone to care.

The post garnered over 1.5 M views as netizens expressed their opinions regarding their statements.

When I first became a trainee, I was shocked to see others crying after being scolded for certain things, such as the monthly evaluation rankings. However, none of this can compare to being an idol. I respect all the idols out there.

Compared to when I did dance, the amount of scolding I got as a trainee didn’t seem too bad. But all the other trainees were going crazy and crying. But I’ve grown up strong due to dance, LOL.

I was always kicked out of the practice room…thinking about it now, it’s so funny. Those who haven’t danced before might hear this and think it’s terrifying, but to me, it’s just funny now.

Our new talent development team unni wanted all of us to do pigtails before the evaluation. However, everyone agreed to it without a problem and appeared with extremely high pigtails, totally immersed in themselves, so I was extremely flustered.

However, netizens felt that they were being too harsh on such young idols.

Wasn’t she born in 2010? What do you expect from middle schoolers?

I don’t think this is so much a controversy, but they’ll probably be embarrassed by this when they’re older.

중3이래잖아… 커가면서 본인이 어떻게 고쳐나가야하는지 깨닫겠지… https://t.co/K5RdqEdgcc

They’re only in middle school…they’ll figure out what they need to fix as they grow older.
