Viewers are confused on where they stand in the matter of P.O.'s behavior in an episode with Girls Day's Hyeri on "Amazing Saturday."
On the "Amazing Saturday" May 9th episode, P.O. was seen yelling at various participants on the show. When it was Hyeri's turn to answer the question, he reiterated that he had first lifted his hand. Then when she failed to get the correct answer, he tried to make a point of saying, "She always does this though she gets it wrong."
At Kim Dong Hyun, he lifted his tone, too. When he ate, and Kim Dong Hyun attempted to demonstrate how to do it, he shouted, "I'm going to eat it the way I want to do it, so just consider leaving me alone. You keep telling me how to do it!"
Some spectators made the comment that even though this was an entertainment series, P.O. had stepped over the line, whereas others felt it was something for the sake of the television program.
Here are some of the divided reactions from the Netizens:
"You say in the very same show where Eunhyuk said they were worthless to half the crew and should not even be on the tv program? * Not even a blow to Eunhyuk calling out that it's very dumb."
"That doesn't sound like a concern at all. I honestly believe you didn't connect the video and don't include the statements people's making about it. And even though he had raised his voice, none of his expressions was close to harsh. He insisted that he first lifted his hand and 'I'm going to eat the way I want.'"
"If you can not manage entertainment shows delicately, easily insulted, self-righteous than you netizens, then just don't watch variety shows. Watch cartoons as small as Dora The Explorer or something. But then again, I believe the sensitive netizens would always find something that will insult even in a cartoon of a child. Still, it is a major phenomenon to be insulted and to abolish personalities for breathing too loud. I hope the insulted pattern immediately got away, it's getting distracting and exhausting."
The cast members occasionally bring their friends as participants on the famous tvN television program. Just recently, "buddy" participants featured Lee Si Eon (a mate of Park Na Rae), BLACKPINK's Rosé (a pal of Hyeri), and most notably Leeteuk and Eunhyuk (a friend of Boom's) from Super Junior.
Zico and Minah also made an appearance in the recap for last week's episode to show their support to their groupmates P.O and Hyeri. At first, Minah is uncertain about her response, but Zico backs her up by firmly stating, "This is the correct answer. That's how rap parts are."
