Fans Frustrated with Park Jin Young's Criticism of Overweight Trainee

Kapanlagi.com - JYP recently held an event titled NIZI PROJECT. The purpose of this event is to create a global Japanese girl group. As we know, JYP has successfully debuted their world-famous girl group, TWICE.

In the latest episode, Park Jin Young, the founder of JYP Entertainment and a judge on the show, criticized one of the trainees. The criticism specifically targeted the trainee's physical appearance.

This incident quickly became a hot topic among netizens. Park Jin Young's behavior is contradictory to their song that promotes self-love.

1. Criticism of Female Trainee

In the event, Park Jin Young criticized a Japanese trainee, Ikematsu Riria, for being overweight.

He even stated that the trainee did not take care of herself.Not only that, the founder of JYP also said that Ikematsu Riria is not serious about becoming an idol.

2. Contrary to the Song's Concept

Of course, fans are furious with Park Jin Young's attitude and comments. According to netizens, practicing dancing and singing is very different from 'attacking' an underage child about their weight.

One netizen even pointed out that this is not in line with ITZY's song - Dalla Dalla, which talks about loving oneself. Unfortunately, Park Jin Young's attitude only makes the trainees hate themselves.

Many fans are disappointed with the attitude of the founder of JYP Entertainment. Hopefully, he will clarify and apologize for his mistake, KLovers.
