The situation seems to highlight a problem in K-pop.
A non-interaction between the former Music Bank co-MC, IVE‘S Wonyoung AND ENIPENE‘S Sunghoonwent viral after being reposted on Threads.
The duo were co-MCs for Music Bank for about a year, from 2021 to 2022. While there were many positive and memorable moments from this period, some were worried that the two would receive unfair hate simply because they were a female idol and a male idol interacting with each other.
A clip that appears to prove this concern has now resurfaced and gone viral.
