During yesterday evening's episode of 'K-Pop Star', Baek Ah Yeon performed a slow, piano rendition of Big Bang's hit track "Haru Haru". During critique, judge J.Y. Park criticized the contestant for constantly grimacing as she sang.
Since the broadcast, various netizens have called J.Y. Park out for this comment, claiming that he was being a hypocrite because he did the exact same thing while he sang.
Today, J.Y. Park explained himself through a post on Twitter, saying, "I think I should've done my judging on yesterday's 'Kpop Star' with more detail. If you all look closely, you can tell between someone who is making a grimacing facial expression because he or she is feeling the music, and someone who is making those faces because he or she cannot properly vocalize the song."
He continued, "It's different for every person, so you can't generalize it. However, with Ah Yeon yesterday, she couldn't vocalize properly about three times, and this caused her mouth and face to cringe towards the right side. In other parts of the song, she did not move her mouth to the left while making grimacing facial expressions. If you can read this, it will help a lot in singing."
He added, "From now on, I will explain further so there are no confusions."
Netizens responded, "I don't think you can judge a book by its cover," "You can't know everything about a person through one facial expression," "A misunderstanding can bring on a bigger misunderstanding so it was nice to take J.Y. Park's explanation lightly".
