Olympic Gold Medalist Follows THIS Female Idol on Instagram

Kim Je Deok, a South Korean archery athlete, has sparked controversy after being spotted following THIS female idol. Why is this causing such a stir?

Despite the pride he brought to South Korea by winning the gold medal in the men’s archery team event at the 2024 Paris Olympics, opinions about Kim were split when he was discovered to be following and liking bikini photos of QWER Chodan.

In the world of K-pop, it is common for athletes to show support for idols and receive positive responses, often accompanied by positive comments.

However, this time, K-netizens and K-pop fans are expressing concern over Chodan’s negative reputation. This is especially true for the rookie who debuted as a member of the girl group QWER in October of last year.

Ever since their debut, they have gained recognition through hit singles like “Discord”and “T.B.H.”The quartet, formed by YouTuber Kim Gyeran and other members, were already known in the entertainment industry. Hina, a popular TikToker, and Siyeon, a former member of J-pop girl group NMB48, were already familiar faces. Additionally, Magenta and Chodan are also active as female cam B.J.s on Twitch.

It is a well-known fact that B.J.s primarily rely on sponsorship as their main source of income. In return for viewers’ sponsorship contributions, B.J. expresses their appreciation by performing sensual dances and other activities.

Some female cam B.J.s intentionally increase their exposure level in order to receive more sponsorship money. When female netizens discovered Chodan’s other job, she faced heavy criticism despite having already reduced the level of her broadcasts since debuting in a girl group.

Additionally, she is facing backlash for her recent “anti-feminist”comment, where she referred to them as “crazy b*tches.”

Consequently, netizens were outraged by Olympic gold medalist Kim Je Deok, particularly upon discovering that he had even shown admiration for Chodan’s photo in a cropped short-sleeved shirt and white bikini panties.

“He’s breaking his image.”

“He looked innocent, but he wasn’t.”

“I’m so disappointed.”

“How dare he publicly follow a BJ who exposes a lot of skin.”

“Do you enjoy watching cam girls?”

“This current national team member is so confident without even noticing.”

“You should practice archery more when you have time to watch Chodan.”
