Super Junior criticized for rude behavior at Seoul Music Awards
Idol group Super Junior just can’t seem to stay away from controversy.
Last night, the 19th High1 Seoul Music Awards took place, where Super Junior picked up three awards. But it was also Super Junior member Kyuhyun’s 22nd birthday.
Anyway, during the awards show, Super Junior members celebrated Kyuhyun’s birthday at their table with a birthday cake. Netizens are appalled at this behavior, as they found it rude that they would do such an act at a prestigious awards ceremony. Their reasoning is that, instead of honoring and celebrating the artists who were winning awards on stage, they brought out a cake to celebrate Kyuhyun’s birthday. In addition, there was a magic show on stage from Lee Eun Kyul, but because of Super Junior’s celebration, all of the attention was shifted onto them, furthering the anger from netizens.
Netizens have been commenting, “That’s disrespectful to the award winners on stage,” “An award ceremony is a celebratory setting, but this type of behavior is too excessive,” “It’s disappointing to see that they can’t distinguish between public and private affairs,” “If they were rookies, would they have been able to do such a thing.”
You guys be the judge, rude or not?
I might get thumbs down for this but really, the Suju members did that during a commercial break. They just showed the footage after they cameback to let fans see. I’m a super Junior fan and I think it would be rude if they did that during the actual show and/or while the other person was on stage performing but it wasn’t going on at the moment the cake was brought out and obviously it must have been planned out because the camera and spot light were on them so…sorry but some people are over reacting a little. ^^
Happy 22nd Birthday Kyuhyun. The netizens take things too seriously. I do believe that Korean culture values “respect”. People sometime do things that are not always respectfully and that it’s ok. So suju did that then they learn their lesson not to do it again. Kyuhyun feels embarrassed. How cute.
oh c’mon, it only lasted for how long, 10 seconds? the magic show probably hasn’t even started on its main point. (like maybe Lee Eun Kyul is still preparing or in the process of the magic)
