Idol-Actress Faces Backlash For Making Faces At TWICE’s Jihyo

Seohyun is facing backlash over a viral video that fans say shows “pure bitterness” toward TWICE’s Jihyo.

The controversy began when a clip surfaced on X (formerly Twitter) showing Seohyun and fellow Girls’ Generation member Hyoyeon. In the video, Hyoyeon dances to her 2021 single “Second,” while Seohyun flips through a magazine in the background.

Fans quickly noticed Seohyun’s reaction after turning a page featuring a full-page ad of Jihyo. Many claimed Seohyun looked repulsed, sparking accusations that she was disrespecting the TWICE member.

The post went viral, gaining over a million views and sparking heated debates between fans of both idols. Some argued Seohyun was clearly shading Jihyo, while others insisted it was just a playful skit. Supporters said Seohyun was reacting to the product in the ad, not Jihyo herself.

Fans flooded social media with mixed reactions:

“sones deleting the video won’t change the fact that this khia hated on jihyo for no reason and deserves every lashing” — @dahyuncsl

“i was there sones were gaslighting the hell out of onces that day” — @seeuntist

“snsd always been a bitter and messy ass group, jessica could’ve told y’all that” — @glistnfx

“lucky for them, Onces are not miserable that will camp thier IG comments calling them out, but imagine the situation reversed, Kpop stans will drag Twice to h3ll for making face of thier seniors.” — @entenzibly

“Now who is this BlTCH ??” — @Itgirl_yeon1

Others defended Seohyun’s intentions:

“Seohyun is literally the definition of class and elegance. She DID NOT mean to insult Jihyo AT ALL. She scanned through other pages and did exaggerated expressions too. This was just for fun. Irresponsible? Yes, but they already took down the video as soon as they noticed.” — @DreiLuVFriend

“seohyun didn’t do this with malice, only oncels took it as shade bcs they have no sense of humor. This was the trend for Hyo’s single back then and as you can see, seo was laughing randomly to every pages. Put some respect on seohyun’s name!” — @dadafanboy

As the situation unfolded, the video was removed, but the debate between fans of Girls’ Generation and TWICE continues.
