It was reported that "SNL Korea" female staff has sexually harassed the member of boy group B1A4. Fans and non-fans alike are very upset about the incident. They are complaining to "SNL Korea" about the issue and want immediate action.
Kpopstarz has reported before that B1A4 will be hosting the show for last week's episode. They indeed hosted it but while the first meeting for the shooting, an incident occurred. Some female staff of the show has inappropriately touched the members of B1A4. As "SNL Korea" posted the video online, fans and viewers were very upset at what they did.
People are commenting on Netizen Buzz that if it was a male staff that did that to a female guest, people would have been rioting outside TvN. People want to stop the double standards for sexual harassment. Infinite fans also reminded viewers that "SNL Korea" has been doing this to all of their male guests. Infinite were hosts for an episode of "SNL Korea" and the same thing happened to them.
At first, "SNL Korea" has shrugged it off and said it was a tradition for all the male guests. However, fans are shouting and crying online that it was very wrong and inappropriate. It was sexual harassment and the proprietors should be punished and jailed.
According to Allkpop, "SNL Korea" has posted on their Facebook page their apology. It says, "Hello, this is 'SNL Korea'. We apologize to the B1A4 members and their fans about the violent actions against the hosts B1A4 in the video that was released on Facebook on the 26th. It was an unfitting action toward the hosts, and we will be careful that this does not happen again. We apologize once again to B1A4 members and their fans."
Fans are still demanding "SNL Korea" to do something more about the issue and not just a mere "apology".
