Sunggyu of INFINITE is receiving quite a backlash
after his unfortunate choice of words revealed through a BTS video
of tvN's Genius: Rules of the Game. In the video clip that was uploaded on the
26th, Park Eun Ji, Lee Sang Min, and Sunggyu were seen discussing
amongst themselves during the game.
In the video, Park Eun Ji told Lee Sang
Min, "Isn't it difficult to make a living? Now that I've lived for 30
years, I'm realizing it is really not easy." Lee Sang Min replied, "Yeah
true.. When a woman reaches the age of 30...", Sunggyu jumped in to
complete his sentence, "You're right. She's a yomul."
'Yomul' is a term that means deceitful,
sly, wicked on its own, and when it's aimed towards women, it is a term that
describes a woman who is good at luring in men for her benefit.
Woollim Entertaiment quickly responded, "It
seems things have blown out of proportion. If you watch the video, Sunggyu
didn't have bad intentions. He just said it at the time just going along with
the atmosphere of the conversation. It was released in an exaggerated
form."
The Genius: Rules of the Game have since made
the video private after the controversy arose.
