The web variety show Zzanbro, which has been embroiled in a controversy involving the group Tomorrow X Together (TXT), has addressed the issue.
Previously, Zzanbro posted a trailer showing MCs forcing Soobin to measure his nipple length while Soobin said it was “embarrassing.” After the video was released, fans both in Korea and abroad criticized it as “an inappropriate level of remarks and behavior, hard to view as content featuring idols.”
TXT Allegedly Sexually Assaulted On Controversial Show Triggers Massive Backlash
As a result, the YouTube team uploaded a new trailer video featuring members Soobin and Beomgyu. This trailer shows Shin Dong Yup expressing affection for TXT and Jeong Ho Chul removing his shirt. The scenes measuring nipple length, which sparked the controversy, were all deleted.
The Zzanbro team explained to Ilgan Sports on May 1, “We revised the trailer and re-uploaded it. Since trailers often show only fun and provocative parts without context, misunderstandings seemed to have arisen.”
They added, “The full episode will be uploaded as scheduled. However, to avoid concerns among Tomorrow X Together fans, problematic parts will also be removed from the full episode. After watching the full broadcast with all its context, viewers won’t find it problematic.”
