The famous lyricist found herself in an awkward situation for penning the supposedly "sexist" lyrics in SHINee's song. She received negative comments about an individual phrase used in the song. Some of the netizens pointed out that in the song the line "Cherish her more than you would a flower" was discriminatory against women.
In response, Eana Kim posted on her personal account and she said, "Many listeners pinpoint sexist expressions in songs. I have tried to be more and more careful but I slip up regularly, and it makes me realize how deeply rooted the problem is."
She described the criticisms as a "healthy phenomenon" for lyricists like her to be careful about sexism in their work. She ended the statement with a promise, "I am going to try to become a lyricist that thinks more about the stereotypes of men and women."
