'Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' asks Mino for a formal apology + Seo Yu Ri asks fans to stop attacking her

winner, Song Min Ho (Mino)

As you all know, WINNER's Song Min Ho is in some hot waters regarding some of his rap lyrics featured in last week's episode of 'Show Me The Money 4'. Since then, Mino has come forth to apologize through a post on WINNER's official Facebook page. But it appears that that is not enough, at least not for the 'Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists', who is asking for an official, formal apology from both the idol and the TV show.

The association stated through an interview, "Song Min Ho wrote his personal statement through SNS and it's difficult to accept that as an official apology." 


The association asks for an official apology through YG Entertainment and asks the 'Korea Communications Standards Commission' to look into the matter as well in how 'SMTM' has handled it. 


The association also released a statement on their website. In summary, the statement said:


The 'Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecolegists' express our official stance regarding idol group WINNER Song Min Ho's rap lyrics, 'Mino targets all the daughters, spread (your legs) like you're at the gynecologist" heard in the July 10 airing of Mnet's 'Show Me The Money'. Not only did the lyrics sexually humiliate all women of Korea, but it also defamed Korean women's health, as well as the 4000 obstetrics and gynecology doctors registered in our association, who give medical examination and treatment around the clock, 24 hours a day for 365 days a year to take care of the health of women and the new lives (babies) that will be carrying on Korea's future in the 21st century."

That's not all that's making headlines at the moment regarding this situation, for TV personality and voice actress Seo Yu Ri is asking WINNER fans to stop attacking her through SNS.


When the controversy first arose about Mino's lyrics, the TV personality had commented on her Twitter, "It seems like some people these days seem to think they were not born from their mother's womb, but rather hatched out of an egg."


It appears that with her tweet spreading, she started to receive much backlash from the idol's fans not only from Korea but internationally. She, in response, pleaded with a post on Facebook,


"WINNER fans, I sincerely ask this of you. So many hate messages and curses, that I dare not even utter, are being poured into all my SNS accounts from WINNER fans or perhaps those who are pretending to be fans. It's not just from Korea either, I'm also getting messages from U.S. and China.
I never mentioned the WINNER member directly by name or uploaded his pictures or anything like that. I think all the fans know this. Also I trust that you know that fans doing this, even in light of Song Min Ho posting an apology, is not helping Song Min Ho.
I'm in pain. I had to watch my mom suffer from the pain she has received from personally reading all these messages, unable to speak out. So please, I ask of you. Stop this. If you see those around you doing this, please ask them not to. Please think about what is the best thing you can do for the star that you love."


What do you make of this whole situation?
