Korean netizens on an online community forum have gathered evidence of Red Velvet maknae Yeri's problematic past actions following Irene's attitude controversy.
On an online community forum, a netizen shared a collection of problematic actions Yeri has done to her members that have gone under the radar. However, following Irene, Red Velvet's leader, being exposed to her bad attitude with past staff, Korean netizens have focused on the other Red Velvet members to see if they were either victims of Irene's attitude or if they too have exhibited a bad personality.
In one example posted by the poster, Seulgi is seen offering water to Yeri while they are on a radio show. The other girls are seen with a serious, yet still engaging and friendly expression. Yeri, on the other hand, is seen glaring as the water bottle is being passed around, her eyes flickering around the room. When Joy passes her the water bottle, she just shakes her head with a serious face, leaving a sour taste in people's mouths.
During HyunA's "Lip & Hip" stage during the 2017 Melon Music Awards, the female soloist is seen pushing her chest up during the point part of the song. A fan had captured Red Velvet's reaction, and Yeri was seen mimicking the action and letting out a loud laugh, hitting Wendy's shoulder as she does so. Joy is also seen laughing, but it appears she is laughing because of Yeri and not because of HyunA. Netizens claim that back then, it appeared cute, but they are now seeing it as problematic as it appears she is making fun of HyunA.
In a variety show, Yeri is seen poking Wendy's butt while she is on the ground, holding on to her legs. As Yeri continuously pokes at her butt, Wendy is seen letting out cries of discomfort, as if telling her to stop. However, Yeri continues to do until the MC holds on to her shoulder to get her to stop.
In an interview with 'K-Pop Rush', Wendy was seen being the MC for her group. During one of the games that involve an exploding balloon, Yeri is seen telling Wendy, "That's not cute." When Wendy reiterates that she finds the balloon cute, Yeri is seen with an annoyed face. While at the time people found it comedic, some Korean netizens are convinced that it is Yeri showing off her true colors.
People are also calling out Yeri for being careless with her words. Previously, Yeri was famous for being blunt, honest, and straight forward. However, she is now being called tactless and even bratty for being unable to show off proper manners when speaking. People believe that idols should be able to control their words and wonder why she cannot.
At the end of the post, the Korean netizen claimed that they wanted to include Yeri's reaction to BTS's Jungkook, but they could no longer find the clip. They added that members Wendy and Joy also had controversies in the past, but chose to highlight Yeri, as they claim that she has changed so much from her past self.
Check out netizen's comments here:
"No, but she is a little weird, too."
"I hate it when nice girls like Wendy and Seulgi need to stand by such horrible kids."
"It's just Joy, Wendy, and Seulgi now."
"She is so delusional."
