[theqoo] IT’S BEEN A MONTH SINCE THE VIDEO OF THE FEMALE ILBE IDOL WAS OUT

The subject of the controversy – Baby DONT Cry’s Yihyun 

She’s currently the idol in charge of MCing at Inkigayo 

During a birthday livestream, she suddenly shouted, “Yah! I’m feeling great~.”

(For people who know former President Roh Moo-hyun’s speaking style, the idol’s voice in the clip would sound very out of place. She was definitely imitating him.)

Yihyun’s birthday is April 11, and that Instagram post was uploaded on April 23.

This happened over a month ago already.

Starting in late April, some people who had seen the clip a few times through Instagram’s algorithm made several posts on the forum asking, “What’s up with Yihyun?”

However, the discussion kept getting buried with responses like:
“Why would that be an Ilbe term?”
“Maybe the fact that you know it’s an Ilbe reference means you’re an Ilbe user.”
“Why would a woman use Ilbe slang? Women wouldn’t be on Ilbe.”
“Looks like the OP just wants to hate on a girl group member.”

According to posters, these kinds of comments shut down the discussion two or three times.

There were people back in April who watched the video and felt that something was off.

Then, when a controversy broke out involving Minjae of IDID (a male idol) over alleged Ilbe-related issues, people became confused about what was or wasn’t considered Ilbe terminology. Around that time, posts started appearing saying things like, “If it had been a female idol, people wouldn’t have been so understanding and she would have gotten attacked.”

People who already knew about Yihyun’s video then responded, “Wait, Yihyun’s case got buried, didn’t it?” and the issue resurfaced.

Whether on Shorts or Instagram, despite people even claiming that Ilbe users had gathered openly, there has been no explanation or official statement for over a month.

She is currently an MC on Inkigayo and belongs to P Nation, Psy’s agency. She is a member of the girl group Baby DONT Cry.

She was born in 2006 and is the oldest member of the group, serving as the leader, main vocalist, and one of its most recognizable members.

1. Whether she voted #2 or she’s an Ilbe, if she felt wrongly accused, she would’ve already screamed on the top of the roof denying it ㅋㅋ… If someone called you an Ilbe, would you just stay still and not say anything?? Are people shielding this idol really not getting a reality slap? Please wake up 

2. People saying “she probably did that thoughtlessly”. Do you guys not care that a kid who does things carelessly like that gets to eat and live a better life than you? Remove her from the MC spot 

3. I bet people will keep digging up things from her and she’ll get exposed in the end 

4. Farewell 

5. She has no more future 

6. It’s more fascinating to me that she’s not even hiding the fact that she’s an Ilbe and goes out of her way to show it off. Does she not want to hit big? Why choose to become an idol?

7. F*ck off Ilbes

8. This one is even more obvious than that male idol?

9. Look at the people shielding a nobody like that. I saw her once in the HOT category after she became the MC and got a good feeling about her, but she’s totally brainless. Disgusting 

10. Wow f*ck look at the way she talks. IS she insane?
