Kwon Eunbi’s Bold Statement About Korean President During Show Recording: ‘Is She Crazy?’

During a recent pre-recording for KBS’s ‘The Seasons: Artist,’ solo artist Kwon Eunbi made a bold statement that has sparked a wave of reactions online, stealing the spotlight from ZICO who was also featured on the show.

While recording, Eunbi was requested to present a two-line acrostic poem using the term “Chuseok,”which refers to the traditional Korean holiday of Thanksgiving.

“Chu. Please make the Chuseok holiday longer.

Seok. Seok Yeol president…”

Netizens were quick to catch on to her playful jab at South Korea’s President Seok Yeol, leading to speculation about the show’s potential bravery in airing such a cheeky remark.

The moment was quickly shared on various social media platforms, with many users expressing a mixture of amusement and curiosity regarding how Eunbi’s remark would be received.

Eunbi’s endorsement deal with a mobile game has received criticism for a particular reason: ‘Woollim Have Some Respect’. Eunbi is well known for her blunt personality, leading fans to affectionately call her ‘crossing the line bi’ due to her tendency to speak her mind and challenge societal norms.

“Her nickname ‘crossing the line bi’ suits her well. She is always on the border of crossing the line when she talks.”

Despite this incident, it is not the first time that she has caused controversy with her comments. In fact, a similar situation occurred during a radio show last year, which caused quite a stir among netizens.

The virtual community has been filled with responses varying from entertainment to incredulity.

The forums and social media were inundated with comments, as users lauded Eunbi’s cleverness and humor, while some were taken aback by her audacity, taking into consideration her position as a current idol in the industry.

“Didn’t she do this somewhere else too? I guess she is doing it again because it became popular.”

“Ahhh lololol.”

“What are you saying.”

“Popular Eunbi.”

“They’d probably say ok even if they didn’t want to.””Is she crazy lol as someone who’s an active idol..”

Recently, Kwon Eunbi has been in the spotlight for the release of her second single album, ‘SABOTAGE,’ which comes after her memorable appearance on ‘The Seasons: Artist’ and signals a new phase in her solo career.
