INFINITE, Sunggyu

INFINITE's Sunggyu has found himself in the middle of a "misogyny" controversy due to a simple Instagram post.

On January 17, Sunggyu posted the below poster of the animated movie 'Your Name' with the message, "Musubi," which means "connected." Though it seems like a harmless post, it seems some netizens found it problematic due to the movie's content.

In 'Your Name', the male and female characters switch bodies, and what netizens are taking issue with is the fact that the male lead gropes his female body. Some are criticizing Sunggyu for supporting this type of film, and his past offensive comments about women have come to light once again.

What do you think?
