AOA's Jimin had first been making news headlines with the many interesting things she shared on the latest episode of MBC's 'Radio Star', but some of the attention has turned negative.
Many news articles have been streaming in since then, reporting on the negative response AOA's Jimin has been getting from some, for how she behaved while talking to Jooheon and Kyuhyun.
Apparently a portion of the viewers thought that she was perhaps "too comfortable" on the show.
One of the 'problematic' portions came about when Jimin spoke about AOA being slightly less successful with their "Like A Cat" promotions.
She had said, "We weren't able to get number one (with "Like A Cat")."
Hearing her, Kyuhyun said, "I'm sorry. It's because I was there," and bowed, referring to how he had received many number 1 wins at the time with his solo track "At Gwanghwamun".
Jimin then remembered, and pointed at Kyuhyun as she exclaimed, "That's right! That oppa kept getting first place! From now on, I'll work harder and become an artist that gets first place each time I come out."
The second thing pointed out was how she acted in reaction to MONSTA X's Jooheon's aegyo or his diss rap. After the MCs asked Jooheon to diss Jimin with some freestyle rap, Jooheon had said that although he liked her as an idol, he didn't think she was a good rapper.
Jimin raised her hand after, asking if she could also fire back at him, and her verses included lines about how Jooheon's "future looked bleak".
Some thought she looked too serious and was not gracious as a sunbae to tell a just recently debuted idol that he "has a bleak future".
Some comments included: "I really felt uncomfortable last night throughout [the episode]. [The show should] rather have completely edited her out," "Jimin, you call your sunbae 'that oppa' and act solemn with your hoobae," "I see I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Her attitude throughout the broadcast shows she lost her original rookie mindset. Get ahold of yourself."
However others pointed out: "Of course she'll call him oppa, what else do you want her to call him? ahjussi?", "The MCs asked them to engage in a diss battle, so she was just simply dissing Jooheon back", "You can tell when someone has become really popular by just how much every action is scrutinized."
