Park Myung Soo is facing backlash again over photos with aespa’s Winter, reigniting anger about his past “obsession” with the idol.
Photos posted on Instagram show the married entertainer sitting uncomfortably close to Winter, who appears uneasy as she sits at the edge of her seat. Netizens quickly condemned the coziness.
Many said the pictures “grossed fans out” and made some feel “physically ill.”
Park Myung Soo has a history of “inappropriate” behavior with female idols, which resurfaced following the initial backlash over his fixation on Winter.
The photos came out just before Winter’s appearance on Park Myung Soo’s YouTube channel, released July 4, promoting aespa’s comeback.
Fans highlighted the stark contrast to Winter’s happier, more relaxed appearances on other shows, demanding action to prevent members from appearing on his programs again.
“Why is this man so close to her I feel physically ill…” — netizen on Twitter
“Winterbelles and Mys, can we raise issue about this? She looks so uncomfortable…” — concerned fan
Park Myung Soo’s pattern of getting Winter repeatedly invited to his shows has fans genuinely bothered.
The controversy is gaining traction as fans continue monitoring the situation closely.
