BTOB’s Sungjae faces backlash for controversial SNL Korea skit
BTOB’s Sungjae is under fire after appearing on SNL Korea’s latest episode. The show, notorious for crude jokes and controversy, put Sungjae in a skit parodying the South Korean trend of “teto-nam” (manly men) vs. “egen-nam” (emotional men).
The segment leaned into low-brow humor and was quickly slammed by netizens and fans for being “dirty” and damaging to Sungjae’s image. Many questioned why a successful idol would appear on a show with such a reputation.
Fans weighed in:
“Please, can everyone just not go on the show?”
“Please take the show off air. They make all the guests that go on it look cheap.”
“Why did he go on it FR..”
“This really isn’t good for an idol’s image… Even for an actor’s too…”
Criticism of SNL Korea has been ongoing, with the show facing multiple controversies in the past year.
Another recent instance involved mocking LE SSERAFIM and ZEROBASEONE’s Kim Ji woong, drawing sharp public backlash.
Monitor the situation as the controversy around Sungjae’s appearance continues to gain traction.
