IU'S BACKUP DANCER INSULTS MINZY

[anthonymarie.livejournal.com]

The backup dancer that is usually seen by IU's side in her recent performances for "Good Day" has run into a controversy. Netizens has given him the nickname "Bong Dancer" for his resemblance to actor Bong Tae Gyu. Netizens claim that he has insulted 2NE1 Minzy on his minihompy.

The "Bong Dancer" uploaded an image of himself on his Cyworld and wrote "kong minji roe (공민지뢰)", which is supposedly an insult towards Minzy. "Kong minji roe" is a derogatory nickname towards 2NE1's maknae given by antis.

Netizens left messages such as "You should take care of your image and IU's also", "Do you know what that means?", and "I was your fan, but now I'm disappointed."

The dancer apologized and left a message saying, "I didn't know the word had that kind of meaning and I used it without knowing. It was wrong of me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult her. It was a misunderstanding and I apologize. I apologize with my head bowed."

dude said it was a mistake , i'm glad he apologized and adressed that

[lovejae23.livejournal.com]

why would he write that next to his picture if he really did mean to diss her...?

[pepperxmint.livejournal.com]

It was an unflattering picture of himself

[after-an.livejournal.com]

what does it actually mean in korean besides the nickname?

[last-thread.livejournal.com]

공민지뢰= 공민지 (Gong MinJi, her name) mashed together with 지뢰 (Ji-Roe, meaning a mine, like a bomb). I think it's referring to her appearance, like dissing her for being ugly.

what the hell minzy has anti's ..................
i'm too big a fan too understand why she has anti's

[letseaticecream.livejournal.com]

I'm not even a stan and I fail to understand too

[riot-o-curls.livejournal.com]

he's just jelly he ain't got an ass to shake like minji.

on a serious note, really, insulting a teen? really? how juvenile. next time put an image of a baboon's ass next to your image if you're gonna insult anyone.

pleaaase read the entire thing

[nyankee.livejournal.com]

I'm just hoping this doesn't reflect poorly on IU. What he does has nothing to do what she does, and she doesn't deserve backlash for something she had nothing to do with.

[jonghyunf.livejournal.com]

wut lol

i'm pretty sure he had no clue that it was a derogatory word specifically made for minzy wtf

[brianathebard.livejournal.com]

Maybe OP should bold the "I didn't know the word had that kind of meaning and I used it without knowing. It was wrong of me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult her. It was a misunderstanding and I apologize. I apologize with my head bowed." part, some people are misunderstanding methinks

[onemillionlove.livejournal.com]

mfte.

[kaylapoo.livejournal.com]

he's cute. i forgive him.

[shanny-w.livejournal.com]

lol oh you

~*~IU'S SUCH A BITCH FOR HIRING BACKUP DANCERS THAT INSULT OTHER DANCERS. OH EM GEE.~*~

*sits back with popcorn and waits for it* Junsu/HoMin lackeys/SM/etc already got panties in a bunch, the dam's gonna explode any time now.

Are people reading the entire article? So quick to judge. We know how these netizens are, what if he meant nothing by it? From what I gather he just "insulted" his unflattering photo using that term. I doubt it's a term exclusive to Minzi's antis, I've seen it used elsewhere, as an insult as well, but it's still out there.

[yumenata.livejournal.com]

i actually like this guy. he's been with IU for a while now, and although he's not that attractive he is sorta funny.

it's prob a misunderstanding like he said.

[pinkeuu.livejournal.com]

Poor guy :( From what I understand he thought it was just a word for looking unattractive and didn't know the word was made specifically for Minzy by meanie haters named antis. He doesn't deserve hate for that. PLUS he apologized quickly and sincerely.

[ayeveee.livejournal.com]

Where's Joe's porpcorn gif at? -sits back reading the judging comments-

[yasmine2009.livejournal.com]

I'm confused. What did he do wrong?

[tribuo-venerati.livejournal.com]

He didn't really do anything wrong.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

Doubt Minzy's even going to give a fresh fuck about this considering her and IU are BFFs.

Besides, the guy didn't even know that what he said was a term that antis use for Minzy.

get your slingbacks moving...
