It’s not uncommon for an idol group to face sharp criticisms or to be talked about in a condescending way. While it’d be nice if they could overcome everything calmly, it’s difficult to constantly live under the standards of skeptics. Unsurprisingly, criticisms are even harsher towards girl groups.
After School in particular were victims of many misunderstandings and rumors. In a recent interview, the members expressed how they felt heartbroken and wronged.
Kahi confessed, “I felt like it was really unfair when I was labeled as the ‘loser girl’. I said what I said because I myself am tall and I talked about my ideal type… it was disappointing.”
In the past, Kahi guested on MBC’s “Quiz to Change the World“.
When she was asked about her ideal type, she stated, “I prefer above 183cm (6ft) tall”, causing her to be compared to the girl who stated that short guys are ‘losers’ during an episode of “Chat with Beauties“.
Raina stated that she was most upset about something that occurred last year during the 2010 KBS Music Festival. She stated, “There was a stage where members of girl groups came out together and danced the point choreography. I’m not very good at dancing, so I was a little embarrassed. That’s why I looked at the other members and laughed, but f(x)’s Luna happened to be diagonally in front of me.”
She continued, “The next day when I looked it up, they made it look like I was laughing at Luna’s dancing. That’s not why I laughed, so I was very sorry and embarrassed. When I saw her during a broadcast later on, I apologized, and she said it was okay.”
