Online Instructor Sparks Outrage During Radio Show

In the latest episode of Red Velvet's Wendy's radio show, 'Young Street,' things took an unexpected turn when online instructor Chung Seung Je joined TV personality Jung Hyung Don for a chat. As the three engaged in conversation about Wendy's musical journey and the group's rise to fame, Chung's offhand remarks quickly became a topic of heated debate.

A Disturbing Assumption?

When asked about her radio career, Wendy shared her two-year experience, followed by a brief hiatus for musical pursuits. Yet, Chung Seung Je casually claimed, 'I guess the musical wasn’t working out for you.' This comment drew laughter from Jung, but it did not sit well with many listeners.

Backlash on Social Media

Viewers were quick to express their confusion and discontent over an online instructor's presence on a radio show, questioning the appropriateness of Chung's remarks. Critics argued, 'It's rude to suggest Wendy's career isn't thriving, especially from someone who's not in the entertainment field.'

Cultural Reflections

Netizens also expressed concerns about the normalization of such comments in a society where academic achievements are taken very seriously. One commented, 'You wouldn't see college entrance exam instructors making such appearances elsewhere; it feels out of place here in Korea.'

What's Next?

As outrage continues to brew, viewers are left wondering: should instructors stick to teaching or is there room for them in the limelight? One can't help but feel that this incident is yet another example highlighting the cultural divides in public discourse.
