I do think this whole controversy is dumb and it doesn't matter one way or the other; but I just cannot see a Korean person not knowing kalguksu tbh lol. It is an extremely common dish, there are many different types of guksu (gogiguksu, bibimguksu, kongguksu, etc.), but kalguksu is the most popular (and bland imo). It is similar to like an American not knowing what a hot dog is or something.

she know kalguksu, but she doesn't know the taste.

It angers me when idols apologise for such trivial things. If I was her PR team, I would tell her the facts: If someone is leaving hate comments about something as trivial this, then they obviously never liked you to begin with and will continue to dislike you after you apologise. An apology will just excite them because they'll know they got the mighty Minji to bow down and beg for forgiveness. Never get down in the dirt with the pigs, it weakens your image and lowers your status. Just let haters seethe

Ive never had so many common foods?

NewJeans members apologize for the most stupid things

catzi Do you have any thoughts on this latest idiotic NewJeans scandal?

Quote from thebadguy

Would still complain about double standards

3/5 NJ members have now posted public apologies for the dumbest "scandals" imaginable. But they never have to deal with haters

I know minji and hanni, who's the third?

Dani

The whole Chinese New Year/Lunar New Year stupidity

Can't leave out Minji and Hyein being told to die during a livestream.

But NewJeans live in a bubble and never have to deal with haters obviously.

How can someone know every single food? like seriously, if she didn't know it, what's the big problem? I'm so confused on why she had to say sorry.

it had more to do with her condescending attitude in the subsequent livestream than the fact that she didn't know/hasn't tried kalguksu (which is kinda weird as a Korean).

Never a dull moment in KPOP

Yeah true. NJ just need to leave the condescension to people like me

This is one of the stupidest controversies I've seen in a while... and 2024 has just started

Tch tch rookie mistake

Should have doubled down with an exaggerated remark about bibimbap and sued the haters for 70k USD. It girls in the making can't be giving trolls what they want.
