Be it a new or old group, backlash and controversies are common in the world of K-pop. From music video teasers to concept photos, internet users examine everything thoroughly. They often point out odd or concerning things. This is exactly what happened with Baby DONT Cry, a girl group launched by PSY’s label, P Nation and produced by I-DLE’s Soyeon. Fans were excited for their song, but the group has been facing strong negative reactions. Read on to know all about it.
Why Is Baby DONT Cry Produced By I-DLE Soyeon Facing Backlash?
Recently, the group’s first music video teaser for ‘F Girl’ was dropped. In the teaser, one of the members placed a small packet on the counter. The store clerk looked at her with a frown, and she then opened the packet, which had a candy inside it, and ate it. The small packet wasn’t a typical one, as it looked like a condom packet. This made netizens furious!
Many internet users were worried about this concept. They stated that three of the four group members were minors. For netizens, even the song title seemed strange, as the group majorly consists of minors. One person commented that if a group with minors had to convey a message, it should not be through something that looked like a c*ndom.
Another user expressed disgust at how some fans were still creating feminist theories. They believed that there was nothing wrong with holding a favourite artist accountable. The user also felt that it was wrong to call people perverted when the song name, teaser, and first music video were clearly odd and sickening.
