Rescene's Won is facing backlash... just for speaking in her hometown dialect.

Won recently came under fire after saying "museopno" ("It's scary") in a YouTube video, with some online users accusing her of using an expression associated with the far right community Ilbe. But many fans argue she was simply speaking in her Gyeongsang dialect, something she's always been known for.

The controversy has since sparked a wider debate in Korea over regional dialect vs. internet slang. Linguists, public figures, and netizens have pointed out that "-no" has long existed in southeastern Korean dialects, saying it's unfair to label every speaker as using an extremist expression.
