Called 'Ugly' and Not Meeting Standards, This Idol Candidate Becomes the Target of Mean Comments from K-Netz - His Group is Accused of Unsavory Rumors Even Before Debut

On February 14, 2023, a pre-debut boy group named IB147, currently consisting of six members, released their first single, 'Over Shock'.

Like most pre-debut groups, IB147 members are very active on social media sharing their daily lives and various challenges.

As their official Twitter followers are only under 1,500, online users' attention was immediately drawn to one of the tweets that was commented on by netizens.

The tweet on May 10, 2023 featured member Yoonsang posting several photos of himself in various poses. What made it so popular?

After investigation, the tweet with over 10 thousand quotes was filled with K-netz's negative comments mostly insulting his appearance.

"What's wrong with this world? "Average" for girl groups keeps getting better and better, but for boy groups... Do something or lose weight or whatever it is. Like, work harder to get better," tweeted one K-netz.

Among the flood of hate tweets that flooded the post, a Twitter user claiming to be a former trainee of the group's friend accused that his friend was bullied to leave the group by other members.

This tweet has received a lot of attention and has caused many people to believe in the accusation of bullying. As a result, K-netz has become more aggressive in leaving hate comments.

One day after the accusation surfaced, HnA Entertainment released a statement clarifying that there was no bullying between the former trainee and current member.

Following the official statement, international netizens flocked to leave positive comments to balance out the hate on the original tweet.
