October 18, Koreaboo reported that Korean social networks are spreading a post titled “Male idol suffered serious sexual harassment on a Japanese variety show”.
The poster shared a picture of a male idol writhing in pain on the floor. This person explained that the variety show staff applied a medicine similar to Icy Hot (massage oil that feels cool when applied and gradually heats up to help relieve pain) on the young star’s underwear. After wearing it, the male idol experienced discomfort in his sensitive parts, leading to the actions shown in the photo.
Not stopping there, the program crew also placed hidden cameras in the bathroom. Realizing something unusual, the male idol quickly lied face down on the floor to hide his private parts and avoid being recorded. The photo shows the male idol looking struggling in his naked state. The guests who saw that scene burst into laughter.
Switching to another scene, the male idol recorded at the swimming pool. He was asked to film a swimming scene. However, swimming trunks are made from material that can dissolve in water. As a result, the boy changed from wearing clothes to being naked in front of the camera.
Although the male idol was not “exposed” on television, netizens left many angry comments about the way the show treated the idol. They criticized the show’s public sexual harassment and questioned why such inhumane images could be broadcast on television.
“This is crazy”, “Is this the 21st century?”, “Swimming trunks are gradually disappearing? How could they think of this?”, “Seeing them burst out laughing at the male idol’s struggles is so cruel”, “This is too bad. This is not entertainment but torture. How would you react if you were in that situation?”, “This is too much”, “The program is sexually harassing male idols”… are some annoying opinions about the program. .
