A veteran K-pop star is facing massive global backlash after making a deeply toxic and highly uncomfortable comment about his dating life on national TV. 🚩📺
Super Junior's Kim Hee-chul sparked serious outrage on JTBC's new show after casually asking Lee Hyori, "Doesn't everyone tell their girlfriend to kneel at least once while dating?" When the studio atmosphere instantly froze, he made it significantly worse by claiming, "Even if I don't ask, they just kneel on their own."
Viewers are completely disgusted by this blatant power trip and dictator mindset. Given that his past relationship with a top idol is highly public knowledge, flaunting this kind of toxic narrative is not only profoundly disrespectful to his ex but deeply uncomfortable for audiences to watch.
Many long-time viewers are now openly questioning how he maintains such a long broadcasting career. His on-screen persona increasingly relies on punching down—acting incredibly arrogant toward those he perceives as weak, while cowering in front of strong figures. Real entertainment should never be built on making others feel deeply uncomfortable. 🛑👎🏻
