Despite being a producer for ITZY, the individual in question sparked backlash from fans by suggesting that Ryujin get Botox. The idol has since addressed the incident.
On July 30, Ryujin posted on her Instagram some of her most recent photos, showcasing her new pink hair. The images captured the idol confidently sporting the new style in different poses. One particular close-up shot of her making a funny face received both laughter and admiration from her fans.
Among the numerous adoring comments from fans, one in particular caught attention. Friday, the producer of ITZY, left a message saying, “Ryujin, let’s go get some Botox.”
On Friday, there was a rapid influx of hateful comments directed towards Friday, criticizing him for his impolite and inappropriate remark. People were quick to defend Ryujin’s appearance, stating that she looked stunning in all of her photos and appeared ageless. Numerous individuals deemed his comment offensive and argued that Ryujin was just as gorgeous as always.
Friday immediately removed his comments after receiving an onslaught of hateful remarks. Additionally, he limited the commenting capabilities on his Instagram account.
Friday has been collaborating with ITZY since their debut as part of the producing duo GALACTIKA. In addition to their debut track “DALLA DALLA,”he has also contributed to their other songs such as “WANNABE,””LOCO,””SNEAKERS,”and more. Throughout their time together, Friday has demonstrated his strong bond with the ITZY members, often referring to them as his own children. This close relationship has only added to the disappointment felt by many.
Despite Friday’s lack of response to the backlash, Ryujin has stepped in. The idol has taken to Bubble to address the situation and defend Friday, sharing a lengthy message.
She mentioned that Friday had apologized to her in person and also left an inappropriate joke in her comment section because she felt uncomfortable saying that she looked beautiful. Friday also expressed remorse for causing pain to the devoted MIDZYs who adore Ryujin.
Her entire message read that she stood up for the producer, emphasizing that he values ITZY and desires for fans to view him positively.
“It’s late at night, but there’s something I want to share, so I’m leaving this post here. I want to address the comment that Producer Friday left on my personal Instagram post. He personally came to apologize, explaining that he found it awkward to tell me I looked pretty and ended up making a joke in poor taste. He’s sincerely sorry for that and has also reached out to apologize to MIDZYs who cherish me.
Since MIDZYs always think of me, I wanted to let you know about this. He’s a producer who always values ITZY as well, so I ask you to view him kindly. I’m sorry if I woke any MIDZYs up, but I just wanted to leave this message so you wouldn’t be too bothered by it. “
