The hosts were commended for their chemistry with her, and the episode was met with overwhelmingly positive feedback.
A new dispute has arisen over the thumbnail chosen for her episode.
The issue was brought to attention by an online community board, which pointed out that the show’s title, “PSICK SHOW,”was positioned behind Wonyoung’s head in the thumbnail, giving the impression of the word “F*CK”instead.
In comparison to the other thumbnails in the series, this placement stood out prominently as the text is typically overlaid on top of the guest’s photo, making the show’s name clearly visible.
Both international fans and K-netizens have voiced their discomfort and disappointment with the chosen thumbnail.
Numerous people hold the belief that the act was deliberate, causing anger and demands for the thumbnail to be altered.
THESE ARE A FEW OF THE RESPONSES FROM NETIZENS:
“Wow, didn’t even think about this. I thought they were showing off her face. These motherf*ckers.”
“What’s so hard about being cautious? The fact that they haven’t taken down the video yet shows there’s something there.”
“There is something wrong if there are reactions to this overseas.”
“What is the wassi thumbnail? In all the other fish show videos, the letters are all visible, but only Wonyoung intentionally hides some of the letters at the back???”
“I am someone who has always made a fuss about the shape of a finger, but I don’t understand why that thumbnail is oversized and why I need to adjust my posture when I feel uncomfortable. Even foreigners react with disgust…? This is an issue that was raised first by foreign countries, and the clever way to make show look like she in the f word is a real ploy.”
The online discussion grew more heated as additional individuals examined the positioning of the thumbnail.
Several netizens, who have experience with video editing, claimed that this oversight was most likely not accidental.
“If you’ve done video editing before, you would know this was 100% done with intent. Even if you were trying to put Wonyoung in the center, you could have moved it down a little bit to show the ‘P.’”- Netizen
Despite facing criticism, the video has not been taken down and the controversial thumbnail remains. Critics assert that if the backlash persists, the show’s producers should promptly address the issue.
