The photos were immediately spread virally to various sites in South Korea. Not only photos, but there are also netizens who talk about the incident that happened when the woman met the singer of “Dumb & Dumber” at the nightclub.

A netizen claimed to feel disappointed with iKON’s June‘s attitude that was not polite when at the nightclub. This netizen claims that iKON’s June was cool when she found out that many people realized it was him. The netizen’s statement certainly caused controversy among netizens and fans.

“He goes to night clubs with the girls? Is he really a rookie?” netizens scorned. “Leave him alone. This is no big deal, he just wants to be himself,” another defended. “Maybe he was upset that someone recognized him during clubbing. My question was, is he legal for clubbing?” asked another.

iKON’s Junhoe’s response to the controversy

About two years ago, one of the members of the boy band iKON, Junhoe, aroused controversy after his photographs at a nightclub were scattered in the online community. Although he was already an adult, many regretted this because he was still classified as a rookie idol at that time.

In the latest episode of MBC’s It’s Dangerous Beyond the Blankets, which was aired on April 19th, Junhoe talked about why he ended up being a house boy and revealed the story behind his old habits of going to night clubs. This 1997-born guy revealed that he began to stay more at home during his trainee days. “Because I spent a long time as a trainee, so when I met my friends, we didn’t have anything in common. That’s why I started enjoying spending time alone and staying at home,” he said.

Junhoe also opened himself to other performers, which is Loco and Jang Ki-ha about the short period in which he plunged into the glitter of the night world. ”When I was only 20 years old, I suddenly liked clubbing, and I went six days a week. I went six times and was finally caught on camera (by the press), so I haven’t been going since.” He went on to talk about his love of poetry, which he now uses to fill his spare time. “I like things that last a long time and I find poetry very interesting,” he said. Junhoe later revealed that there were around 100 poems of his work that were stored in his cellphone.

iKON’s Junhoe Mocking Momo’s Accent

Koo Jun-hoe of iKON has been condemned for mocking Momo of TWICE by imitating her mispronunciation on the radio.

B.I and BOBBY, members from iKON, were daily hosts substituting in for “Lee Guk-joo‘s Young Street”, an SBS radio station. Koo Jun-hoe, another member of iKON, was invited as a guest and his actions are now being a controversy.

The members played a game of “Baskin Robbins 31,” where they had to say out loud numbers in a cute adorable way. Bobby perfectly acted out “being cute”, using his whole body. When it was Junhoe’s turn, he said: “Hi, this is Momo of TWICE~ 31!” He pronounced 31 in a weird, inarticulate way, trying to copy Momo, a Japanese member who does not have clear Korean pronunciation.

Fans of Momo were furious and said that such careless actions hurt her feelings and degrade her confidence in speaking. However, fans of iKon refuted fans of TWICE saying that he was just mimicking and in the process of mimicking he just emphasized the characteristics.
