Several netizens found the photo problematic, as it is illegal to take photos of graves belonging to unrelated figures. A netizen commented, "If the figure of the grave is not biologically related to Younha-nim... Then it is defamation of character and violation of privacy... Please clarify your relation. If this is a stranger's grave solely portraying your emotions then please delete."

Younha shut down the concerns with the response, "He's my maternal grandfather."
