One of the messages saw Gunil allegedly calling out fans who were seemingly following the group.
This is giving me so much stress. We usually have meetings after we finish a show. They were on our backs, saying we should recognize what’s going on if we see things on Twitter. But these b*tches are making me so fucking mad. It’s impossible not to develop hatred towards fans.
The messages sparked a heated debate among netizens.
Many hit back at the use of the word “b*tch” and said that using that term towards female fans was “misogynistic” and shouldn’t be ignored, no matter what the context of the message was.
I don’t really go here but I find it very interesting that all his fans trying to explain the situation are ignoring the part where he called his female fans “fucking bitches”… regardless of the context that’s just misogynistic https://t.co/nSWshiFIdq

Won’t say any more on the matter, but if you truly think misogynistic language from a man is excusable under any context because ‘he’s frustrated’ or ’emotional’, please start loving yourselves. Thanks ❤️

i feel like the main parts of this issue is for one people using “bitch” as the translation when the actual word is way harsher and is more derogatory in the original language but also bc misogyny against korean women is not seen as something that matters https://t.co/VGUtau3HG6

Yet, some fans looked at it differently, in the context of being about sasaengs.
While some thought it could be both wrong to say, but also understandable with how some sasaengs treat idols, others thought it was justified due to the treatment Gunil had.
two things can be true at once. gunil using a misogynistic insult was completely wrong and inexcusable, but his frustration, vulnerability, and the pressure he was under as an idol were also valid, especially knowing sasaengs had literally put a tracker on his car…

I don’t think gunil calling the sasaengs “bitches” is misogynistic, because it’s not a matter of gender but the fact that theyre CRAZY BITCHES WHO STALK THEM let’s use our brains

“He used misogynistic language” someone spare a fuck to give because lord knows I’d say much worse shit than calling them bitches.
No way you people are paying attention to what kind of words he used in a moment of anger and fear. He’s so much stronger than me bc that is TAME
