WGM under fire for bringing SungJoy couple to a club

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

The program We Got Married is under fire after Red Velvet’s Joy and BTOB’s Sungjae were spotted clubbing together.

The Joy-Sungjae couple is the youngest in the program. One year apart, the two are only 18 and 19 years old making them barely legal to drink and enjoy clubbing in South Korea (the legal limit is 18). After being spotted in a club for the program, We Got Married is under fire by netizens for showing inappropriate content on a PG-13 rated program.

Originally posted on Pann, netizens discuss the inappropriate decision made by the show’s producers.

Titled “WGM Gone Crazy?” here is the direct translation of the post and comments below.

“I was already disturbed that they were both featured on We Got Married but why take Joy and Sungjae to a club? hahahahahahaha They are barely 18 and 19 but how does it make sense that a program takes them to a club hahahahaha Why did they take them to a club hahahhahahaha”

[+153, -13] “It is not normal to show a club that has a age restriction of 18 in a program that is rated PG-13”

[+117, -10] “It doesn’t matter if Joy and Sungjae both personally decide to go to a club but it is absurd to show a +18 club in a PG-13 program. Their mentality is so weird. We know that they are not minors and don’t care if they go clubbing but this is a program.”

[+83, -9] “The two went clubbing together? They’re both freaking awkward together but they went clubbing? This is crazy hahaha”

[+21, -0] “Wasn’t their concept a cute couple in their early 20s? Isn’t that why they gave them little money so they could go eat cheap food like tteokbokki but a club? hahahaha Are they thoughtless? hahahaha”

[+17, -1] “It is just a club.. It could be a problem but not big of a problem since they are both 18 and 19.”

[+16, -1] “Sungjae didn’t even rest one day in Japan due to singing but he comes all the way to Korea to film this……”

Will someone please think of the children? Oh the humanity!
On a serious note, I guess I know why wgm is under fire, but at the same time....really? they are both legal and vacinated, it's not like they are doing body shots, I don't really see what's the major issue, but then again, I'm used to see 13 years old going out more than me and soap operas showing it on TV like it's no big deal.

Oh dear god, legal adults clubbing on national tv, on a programme that had other couples clubbing before! What has gotten into this world!

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

this is clearly a huge scandal!
I don't even know how they are allowed to keep recording

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

clutching my pearls!!! what next, LEGAL adults, DRINKING?! the horror!!!

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

lol of all things to get upset over...

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

So....just the appearance of a club is enough to cause a fuss. From the looks of it, there ain't nobody there but them. And if 18 is the legal age, if they weren't idols wouldn't this be something they'd probably be doing anyway?

Ehhh, idt this is even a "cultural difference" thing - this just seems like ppl finding any reason to complain.

I mean Taemin and Naeun got drunk on wgm, I don't remember ppl being too peeved about a PG-13 program showing ppl drunk...maybe I missed it? But just being in a club is cause to wag fingers?

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

cause you know, clubs is where bad people go
obviously -_-'' people just want to complain for the sake of complaining.

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

lol yuppers! Bet half the ppl complaining frequent clubs themselves.

[fiercediva.livejournal.com]

But Taemin/Naeun were 21/20, which is obviously a whole generation removed from 18/19! *eyeroll*

[cinnabun11.livejournal.com]

mte about taemin and naeun! I think this is just a cultural issue because drinking is apparently not nearly as bad as clubbing in korean culture

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i never knew wgm was PG13 .... but that's explain many things

lol

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

i can't even find where this is on pann right now so i think koreaboo just randomly picked this up and made a bigger deal out of it than it was to people

like i can see why some people might be like "eh wtf" about it but obviously it isn't a nationwide scandal

EDIT: ah it was number 5 yesterday well...ok

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

Aw, Joy's first scandal!

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

Is it? I thought her and Chanyeol was the first scandal..

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Koreaboo tried to make something out of Joy and Chanyeol, and I think there was a post about her being ugly that got more traction than this so...not really. At best I'd just attribute it to someone at Koreaboo who has an interest in her or is bad at picking up things that matter.

lmao those screen caps make it look like they got caught by dispatch

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

tbh

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

lol that would make a juicier article.
although i do understand this one, too, i mean you can't show clubs in eg. pg13 in music videos in korea afaik... but them dating would still be more of a ~scandal~

[pbutterlion.livejournal.com]

if it was a real date, it would be 10x worse than the taeyeon dating an exo boy scandal. those pics were wild (well, sk's level of wild i guess)

id love to see the mess unfold anyways lmao

[bomsnose.livejournal.com]

i have this feeling that the fanclub members don't really take this seriously, and so i'm also hoping for more mess.:D a.k.a. pushing boundaries. but yeah, only if they don't lose fans over this.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

ia
and dance poles (?) giving an extra scandalous feeling lol

[pbutterlion.livejournal.com]

lmao right?? it looks like shes spinning on the pole lol how shady are those screen caps tbh

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

lulz it's probably a non-issue some people stirred up, no posts on it anywhere else and not even a single article criticizing it.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

koreaboo makes pann/instiz threads seem like breaking news, pls
their journalisms is really a+

[merong-xp.livejournal.com]

The fact that there are people who spend their time translating Pann posts is hilarious. And then the i-fandom thinks some throwaway thread is actually relevant, lol.

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

i read pann choa as a stress reliver (admins are nice people too) but seriously, mostly kids write there and koreaboo is just hopeless. i used to follow them on twitter but they are pretty shameless with clickbaits and it's just spam.

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

I'm embarrassed because I'm so into this couple that I actually knew about this from fan cams. Like right when the videos got posted I watched them and they only had a 100 views at that point.

I feel like a creeper that knows something I shouldn't so now that everyone else knows I have to go along and pretend like I just found out too.

[aiyuuu.livejournal.com]

lmao these screencaps look so shady but when u watch the video theres like a physical ".............." in the air

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

This Dispatch realness.

[magicpineapple.livejournal.com]

you have GOT to be kidding me..... lmao
