Aespa Winter embroiled in controversy over treatment of cat

She pet the cat. Maybe she pet it a bit roughly, but it was still petting the cat.

Then she meowed at the cat, maybe a bit loudly. The cat got startled.

Sure, maybe not the best pet handling behavior, but definitely not abuse, and nothing I would consider a controversy.

LOL

i was just reading this shit on theqoo, i thought it was a meme(i was about to post the tweet as a meme), then I seen a second thread from an article, and it was deadass serious

this is... a controversy?

this isnt abusing but yeah this shows she probably never had a cat before .. they don't like to be handled this way and being meowed at.. but again it most seems harmless

Has he done something bad before?

Eh. That not abuse. I have 13 cats in my house i love them to the moon. But sometime i play a bit rough with them too. Duh.

LMAO! Baffles me how people see anything wrong with this. I love my cat, but I play rough with him sometimes and annoy him

Abuse is quite a strong word. Maybe more of ignorance?

Cats are quite sensitive to sound. And she was kinda rough with her touch.

So, as a cat owner, I would have given her a side eye.

If it's her fren's cat, then maybe the fren doesn't mind? But if that was a total stranger, then I feel it is a bit rude.

this is originally from pann.

i think she just intented this to be a playful situation since she wrote "friendship over with a cat" on her bubble and at the end of the video the others just laughed it off.

But she should know better since everyday antis and akgaes ready to bring aespa down especially there're at least 1 trending post to bring aespa down in pann every other day.

The youtube controversy I also not sure about it but it's something about his treatment of his girlfriend.

Winter just saying in bubble, she likes to watch this youtuber but I think she didn't know this youtuber has scandal.

She was petting it like a dog. I think she doesn't know how to behave with cats. It's not really a controversy to me. That's just the way you play with a dog ruffling it's head and making loud noises. Cats are a bit more gentle and easily startled. I don't think this is abuse but rather she is just unfamiliar...

I think someone from media outlet has a grudge against SM.

I did the same thing what Winter did. The cat bit me, had to get injections 😭. Looks like I might get cancelled

Good point

It’s certainly not abuse, she may of rough handled the cat a little bit. I’m a cat person and owned a cat and some don’t like rough patting. My partner has several cats and rough houses with them and they get a bit grumpy. She may need to be a little gentler next time but it’s nothing for people to get their undies in a bunch over imo. She’s also my second bias so I’ll go easy on her.

For the love of God this is not a controversy

R there 2 separate issues? One with cat and another of her liking some youtuber? All of them seem issue less just some people finding problem with something.

And that's why we should just ignore knetz cuz this is beyond stupid.

Quote from TheBotter

She was acting like and obnoxious moron. She shouldnt have annoyed the cat for a bit of attention from viewers.

I hope it's sarcasm 😭🙏

Oh Winter

Quote from TheBotter

She was poking a cat in the face and literally making the riiiii noise as loud as she could.

Obnoxious.

I did the same few years back 😀

she's lucky this cat is not like mine

or

what the fuck lol. such a non issue

I do that with my 10 year old cat

stop being dramatic

This is the epitome of K-pop controversies

It's a bit sad. Animals should be treated better.

This is exactly how my cat would react. My cousin who would bully animals has since learned his lesson with my cat. He literally runs away and avoids the cat these days.

she's my favorite but I would've been annoyed if she did that to my cat. Definitely would've said something about it also bc I love my cat. But then I would hope she learned her lesson and keep it moving. Not the biggest deal. I could tell she didn't mean any harm..

interesting

Quote from WhimsyLand

Afaik, Korea is quite sensitive about animal issues. I remember Seulgi had to apologise for purchasing bred cats.

Afaik, she is not

she's just deleted the photos

winter the cat killer

Cats can be like this irl ?😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨

she was just being playful it wasn't that bad is this really a controversy?

The controversies are more and more ridiculous, sometimes it's better to act as if we haven't seen anything.

SM and ‘controversies.’ When it rains it pours.
