DAY6's Wonpil Faces Backlash for Alleged 'Man-Hating' Confession — Find Out Why!

Wonpil from DAY6 is making waves on social media following his discharge from military service, becoming the first idol to complete his Navy enlistment.

The idol's notoriety stems from his reaction during a radio show where fellow DAY6 member Dowoon shared a tale from his time as a soldier.

During the broadcast, Dowoon recounted how senior soldiers would intentionally play Wonpil's songs loudly while encouraging the idol to sing along. Wonpil's response, a simple "Ugh, right," accompanied by a relatable expression, led to speculation that he may harbor negative sentiments toward men in general.

Although the initial tweet received substantial engagement, an additional retweet drew the attention of international fans, framing the narrative that Wonpil "hates men." This interpretation gained traction despite the context centering more on military experiences than a broader disdain for men.

While some international netizens found humor in Wonpil's reaction, others recognized the underlying prejudice and mistreatment that idols often face when fulfilling their military service. Netizens highlighted previous messages from those in the army, suggesting that, while perceived as a joke, Wonpil's experience diverged significantly from his fellow members.

The viral nature of the video sheds light on the nuanced challenges and stereotypes idols confront during their military enlistment.
