• "There's nothing wrong with her doing dance challenges" Netizens Divide Over (G)I-DLE's Miyeon's Involvement in Male Idol Challenges


    Controversy Arises as (G)I-DLE's Miyeon Faces Criticism from Online Feminist Community

    On June 4th, an online community post titled "Miyeon seems to be obsessed with male idols" sparked a heated debate among netizens.

    The term "male idols" in this context carries a derogatory connotation, implying an excessive fixation on male celebrities.

    Miyeon has been actively involved in filming "challenge videos" as part of promotional activities for (G)I-DLE, showcasing their latest songs and captivating choreography, which has garnered attention and popularity among fellow artists.

    Miyeon has collaborated in challenge videos with prominent groups such as NCT, Winner, Kai, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, and others, further expanding their exposure and promotional efforts.

    Presently, Miyeon also holds the position of an MC on Mnet's popular music show "M Countdown," leading to speculations that she may have received requests to participate in challenges from various singers.

    However, certain members of the feminist community voiced their concerns, suggesting that Miyeon appears to selectively engage in challenges primarily involving male idols.

    In a notable instance, one internet user expressed their discontent by juxtaposing images of Miyeon alongside male idols participating in challenge videos, highlighting their disapproval.

    Thankfully, not all netizens responded negatively to Miyeon's involvement in challenges.

    Some argued, "Isn't it common for artists to engage in challenges when promoting new songs? There's nothing wrong with Miyeon participating. It's unfair to label her as obsessed with male idols," while others speculated, "Perhaps those criticizing her are unfamiliar with the true meaning of 'male idol obsession.' This outrage seems unfounded."

    Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE, the group to which Miyeon belongs, recently unveiled their sixth mini-album titled "I Burn" on the 15th of last month, captivating fans with their latest musical offerings.

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
