Amidst the news of Lee Tae Im's car accident and the growing controversy over IU's "Zeze," tvN's 'SNL Korea' has jumped in headfirst with a parody that has caused its own controversy.
On November 10, the show's official Facebook posted a picture to make light of the situation involving Dongnyok Publishing Company criticizing IU for her lyrics referencing 'My Sweet Orange Tree.' The picture's post used the title, 'Ms. Lee Tae Im. Sae Yoon is not that kind of child.'
The content borrows the voice and words from Dongnyok's official statement, saying, "Sae Yoon, as a 36-year-old nerd, is a child full of pain from never having received love from a woman. So many nerds have shed tears at Sae Yoon's words, 'Why must I grow up and not live as a nerd?' And Mijungjjing [play on words with the tree's name] is his only friend, who relays warm consolations to Sae Yoon. Please leave Sae Yoon and Mijungjjing to love each other. We say this one more time, but Sae Yoon is not that kind of child."
'SNL Korea' has since apologized publicly, and the post can no longer be found on its Facebook.
