Eunhyuk gets flak for his latest joke on Strong Heart

[bobbing-apples.livejournal.com]

Another guest on Strong Heart was talking about his search ranking for some event in 2009 and Eunhyuk chimed in to add, "My rank was #235 at the time. Although now, I'm sure it's gotten up much more." The MCs asked, "I wonder why?"

1. [+639, -80] Do you not have a brain? Think before you speak;

2. [+565, -68] What an idiot

3. [+560, -80] You trash, you really have nothing other to use for the show than that?

4. [+85, -44] I'm a girl and his comment really turned me off. Does he not know how much pain IU is going through right now because of what happened? And he thinks to use it as laughing matter on a variety show? I feel sad for IU

5. [+82, -16] What a fu*king idiot, why is every member in Super Junior nothing but trash?

6. [+81, -22] IU did make a mistake but it's not right for Eunhyuk to come out on TV and laugh and joke about it like this

7. [+64, -9] When's he going to the army?

8. [+60, -7] So trashy... You really had nothing else to say other than that? You should've just kept your mouth shut, instead you turned yourself into trash... Wow, seriously..

9. [+60, -7] Utter trash

10. [+48, -3] He really doesn't get the situation, does he? He's nothing but a speck in IU's life because he could never amount to what IU had career wise before what happened. He talks as if IU was the one hanging on to him. It's pathetic that IU was even once with trash like him. At least IU has talent, Eunhyuk is old and can't even sing to save his life. Trash without a speck of respect for women.

Here is a translation of the original article from AKP. Thank you asnindie!

Eunhyuk had viewers as well as the other stars on set laughing as he subtly brought up his previous photo incident in a light-hearted way.

On ‘Strong Heart‘ that was aired on the 15th, baseball playe Lee Yong Kyu discussed the attention he received during the 2009 World Baseball Classic in the Korea-Japan match. Lee Yong Kyu was hit on the head by the ball thrown at him by the opposing team’s pitcher and the news made headlines left and right.

Eunhyuk commented, “From March 5th, 2009 to the 24th during the WBC, Lee Yong Kyu was searched more than 1,950,000 times on portal sites. It’s exponentially more than Lee Min Ho‘s, whose drama ‘Boys Over Flowers‘ was ranked #1 in terms of ratings during the time.”

He then added, “My search ranking used to be 235th place… But now, it’s probably gone up a lot,” hinting at his photo incident in a subtle manner. The studio was brought to laughter as Eunhyuk good-naturedly joked about it, and MC Shin Dong Yup could not help but tease as he feigned innocence as he asked him to explain, commenting, ”Just why did it go up?” causing everyone to chuckle again.

Given that he's gotten off pretty much scotch free and we have to constantly hear about I.U's impending doom, and comments like "she's done" its pretty shitty of him to make a joke like this. She has the bear the brunt of something they //both// did.

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

Wow...are they seriously bashing him for what he said? I think it is good he is joking around about it because people were way too uptight about the whole situation. And plus, it's not like anything super bad even happened from the scandal, at least to me knowledge. Eunhyuk provides jokes and comedy to this show so obviously he will joke about it, plus all he did was say his ranking went up, not that big a deal at all.

Istg everything is taken way too seriously nowadays.

[bolingi-aii.livejournal.com]

its more so the fact that even though he was half naked in the photo, I.U is the only that had to apologize for the scandal. Its "funny" for him to make jokes because he doesn't have to suffer the same damage to his image and his gender the way I.U has. This could have really damaged her career and for him to make a joke like this and diminish the situation ESP when he had to bear little consequences and no responsibility is tacky and inconsiderate.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

It is alittle lame that he can make jokes but she has to mind her image. Nation's Little Anchovy has been a snoozefest tho.

Damn right! these neitzens are telling 100% truths, no lies or fallacies detected.

[edanz-castle.livejournal.com]

That comment had me rolling

At least IU has talent, Eunhyuk is old and can't even sing to save his life.

This is true lol

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I like that there're people sticking up for IU now. However, idk the context of the joke but I hate that they're using it for cheap laughs.

OT but netizen backlash towards Oh Yeon Seo is crazy. Why are they taking WGM so seriously?!

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Prob just Joon fangirls.

[thebluemonk.livejournal.com]

oppa didn't mean it

[lovelycandygirl.livejournal.com]

i kinda get the joke and dont. he should bee kicked off tv for a while.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

shit, son.

these comments are not fucking around and i am more than here for that.

[gigabytexx.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know that his comment is about the scandal..... lol. I was wondering why do people suddenly comment about IU....is it really about IU?? :o

[burger.livejournal.com]

I didn't assume it was about the scandal either at first lol

wait.....

[aznparawhore21.livejournal.com]

what is this about???....sorry idk what he said that made him an asshole lol but srsly

#pleaseinform :)

Re: wait.....

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

On Strong Heart there was some famous baseball player and they were talking about Search rankings. Eunhyuk boasted his rankings must have gone up recently due to the scandal, and everyone laughed. Netz pissed he's joking about the scandal.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Netizens love the word trash don't they.

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

"trash" is the best word for insulting someone. Also "garbage." they just get the job done.

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

this is just tacky. there's no reason for him to keep bringing it up, it's not funny. the women in korean showbiz don't deserve the flak they get.

[bolingi-aii.livejournal.com]

exactly, its really tacky and disrespectful if theyre still dating because I.U is getting all the negative flak and he gets to sit back and make "jokes" and have MCs feel bad for him >.> He should keep his mouth shut knowing what kind of comments she gets.

[luvey.livejournal.com]

seeing that he has gotten to be the butt of the jokes about the situation (sorry i have not seen one news article about anyone joking or even ASKING about this to IU's face, ever), i see nothing wrong with his complete honesty. i know the majority will disagree because of their pure dislike of Eunhyuk. but he said no names, and lets be real, his ranking doesn't have to only refer to the IU incident.

pretty sure IU isn't done. most scandals linger but eventually are forgotten especially if the artist does something stellar.

also if fans weren't so insane about their idols dating this wouldn't really be an issue to begin with.

[bobbing-apples.livejournal.com]

I don't know for sure because I haven't been paying attention but I think the comments from the netizens make it pretty clear that IU has gotten a lot of hate for the picture in Korea while Eunhyuk hasn't. IA with the last part of your comment though and that IU is definitely not done.

[rurouneko.livejournal.com]

hyuk could joke about anything tho there and it couldn't have always been related to IU. how would you know? he could talk about suju's popularity, years of being idols, and so on. it's too shallow for netizens to link this to IU and then talked trash about him and suju. it's so unnecessary.

smh netizens.

[9into1.livejournal.com]

did you even watch the segment?

[bolingi-aii.livejournal.com]

He's such an ugly talent-less disrespectful shit. I don't even know what I.U sees in him. Dick must be bomb.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Isn't ugly abit much..

[prdarkstar.livejournal.com]

I really can't fucking stand him

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

idgi ETA: oh he's a dumb cunt.

I think people think that because int'l fans made fun of him more than IU, that there's no damage to her image or career. Just because she's having a comeback doesn't mean as many people are gunna support her as before when she was SK's little sister and a creepy ahjussi's pure wet dream. To deny that the dynamics between how her career and Ewyuck's was affected is ridiculous to me.

[bolingi-aii.livejournal.com]

seriously! from what my friend was telling me, the general response in koreas was that " I.U is done" and people were "mad at eunhyuk" bc he defiled~ the nation's little sister but there was more attention on her than him. Having her image "tainted" is this way will definitely affect her career and reputation. Ewyuck L O L too done with you but ia with everything. I'm pretty sure T-ara is gonna have a comeback, their reputation is shitty as hell in SK.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

lol what a piece of shit.

IU clearly didn't go for looks when she picked him, and his personality as shown here sux so i gotta wonder wtf did she see in him? must have been hella drunk

[stillwaiting.livejournal.com]

If anything it is the MCs insinuating that it can be because of IU, not Eunhyuk. He said the last time he checked was /2009/ so obviously now in 2013 he is saying it could have gone up. That is all he said but the MCs are twisting things.

[rurouneko.livejournal.com]

this.

hyuk could mean about anything else but IU, tbh. it's the MC who directed it towards the thinking of IU had to cause this.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

Took me a while to understand the context because I don't care about either of them but, he's from SuJu so this isn't shocking.

Thank you! I will add it to the post.

[fancifury.livejournal.com]

What a fu*king idiot, why is every member in Super Junior nothing but trash?

mte netizen

worst group ever

[itsprincess.livejournal.com]

pls dont say that with a t-ara icon.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

this time i am siding with the netizens. because no matter how bad he got, iu got a thousnad times worse, and you can see to him it wasn't that bad as he often mentioned it in a way or another.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

Eh, the thing is both have received a lot of flak for the scandal. Some people found it disgusting that Eunhyuk possibly slept with a minor (or at least was a minor at the time of photo), some people was outraged that it was Eunhyuk of all people, IU got a lot of shit from SuJu fans for putting up the photo in the first place (whether it was an accident or not), IU has been and still is being called a slut and other sexist, disgusting things.

Eunhyuk's side is trying to lighten up the issue by making a joke out of it, IU's side is trying to deny the whole thing. The two companies should really straighten out and at least agree on what their stance will be - until then this whose fault was it and omg how dare s/he argument from the netizens will not end.

[burger.livejournal.com]

this as well, the way the whole thing was handled afterwards was a mess. ignoring it might have worked for a while but both the companies should have come together to discuss what they needed to do.
