Netizens pass harsh judgement on past videos of April for their alleged 'rude actions' toward the new members

Netizens continued to revisit past videos of April, in the midst of ongoing bullying controversies. 

Currently, DSP Media has denied all allegations of bullying and stated that the company will be taking legal action against Hyunjoo's family. 

On March 3rd, a past video of the April members came under scrutiny yet again. In this video, the April members are sitting at a cafe enjoying desserts and coffee.

During that time, the producer suggested that the new member Rachel sit in the center. In response, member Yena responds, "Why?" to which the producer replies saying, "She's a new member so let's put her at the center."

However, Jinsol argued, "No, she will sit here (at the end). There's lots of room here" as she tapped the seat next to her. Chaewon also pointed to the empty seat next to her at the end and said, "There's a lot of room here too." While the other members "refused" to give up the center seat, Naeun silently looked at her phone, fixing her bangs.

In the end, Rachel joined the broadcast and sat at the end seat. Netizens passed judgement on the "frigid" aura as the members argued over the center seat despite a new member joining. After seeing the members' actions, netizens commented, "It would have been nice if they warmly welcomed the new member," "Look at their facial expressions, they're really serious about the center seat, lol" "I can feel the coldness," and "Why can't they be nice and just let her sit at the center since she's new?"

It's not "allegedly" rude, it's just rude. Idols should be able to stand up for themselves if they're being forced to do something they don't agree with, but not in this context. This is "How NOT to welcome a new member 101". 😂

It was very rude tbh. New members should be welcomed with open arms not like this.
