Well-Known Idol-Turned-Actor Strongly Criticized for Using Offensive Term
MBLAQ’s Lee Joon is facing backlash for his words on a recent episode of Workman.
The controversy began when Lee Joon, working as a part-time cafeteria cook, was asked to make an acrostic poem for the word dogani (tendon). His line for the last syllable, “ni,” shocked viewers.
He said:
“Ni- This is so motherf*cking hard.”
The term “nimi” is a shortened, derogatory form of “ni eomoni,” which means “your mom” in a rude way.
Netizens were stunned that he used this right after working with women in the cafeteria. Many were also shocked the production team didn’t edit out the curse word before airing.
Here’s the acrostic poem he made:
“Do- My joints (dogani) hurts.”
“Ga- I’m losing my hearing.”
“Ni- This is so motherf*cking hard.”
Fan reactions flood online:
“They didn’t edit this out?”
“The image he built since his debut is crumbling down…”
“That word is not it.”
“It’s ok to use that type of curse word? Are you serious?”
“He really said that? Wow…”
“Aside from him using that word (which is crazy), how did they let that air without any editing?”
As the situation heats up, fans are waiting for Lee Joon or the production’s response. No official statements have been issued yet.
