Rookie girl group KiiiKiii has become the center of controversy after member Haum made a disparaging remark toward a fellow member during a live broadcast, leaving fans shocked.
During a recent livestream held to communicate with fans, the members chatted casually about their trainee days. When Jiyu mentioned, "This is the udon we used to eat a lot as trainees," Haum suddenly turned to Sui and said, "Do you know what is inside Sui's head? Udon noodles."
The unexpected comment immediately created an awkward atmosphere. Jiyu attempted to ease the tension by saying, "You should probably get scolded for that," but Haum continued jokingly, adding, "Sui is just stupid," which further fueled the controversy.
Some fans dismissed the moment as harmless teasing between close friends, but many others criticized the comment as inappropriate, especially on an official livestream being viewed by fans in real time. Since all members are 19 years old, viewers have suggested that the agency should provide more guidance on professional communication and livestream etiquette.
Debuting in March this year as the direct juniors of IVE, KiiiKiii consists of five members: Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya.
