SBS PD calls 2PM, 2AM, and SHINee “pieces of trash”

A tweet left on an SBS variety show PD’s Twitter has recently sparked a controversy, as he called 2PM, 2AM, and SHINee ‘pieces of trash’.

On the 4th, the PD wrote, “I’m just roughly working on a special episode with 2PM, SHINee and 2AM, those pieces of trash haha.”

The fans who read this caused an outrage saying, “He thinks they’re a joke, and he intended to diss them” and “How can he say that so calmly?”

On the flip side, there is also another response from fans and netizens, saying they should calm down. They left comments such as, “Putting the term ‘trash’ aside, the fact that he is only just ‘roughly’ making a special episode is something SBS could potentially fire him for, do you really think he could be telling the truth? It sounds like he is just ironically showing his close friendship with them” and “People need to remind themselves that he said it in his own personal space.”

This just goes to show that these days, in a world where social communication has become a major factor in society, saying just one sentence has the potential to turn an innocuous comment into a full blown issue.



SBS PD apologizes for calling 2PM, 2AM, and SHINee ‘pieces of trash’

As reported earlier, an SBS variety show PD stirred up controversy by posting on his Twitter,

“I’m just roughly working on a special episode with 2PM, SHINee and 2AM, those pieces of trash haha.”

The term ‘나부랭이‘ or ‘pieces of trash’ is a term used to call something or someone you think cheaply of, or literally just ‘pieces of trash’.

This tweet caught the attention of netizens and many scolded the PD, believing it was wrong for him to call idol groups ‘pieces of trash’, while other netizens believed it was an insignificant tweet written to his close colleagues and that people should not react so sensitively.

On the afternoon of the 4th, the PD finally spoke up and wrote on his Twitter:

“Hmm it looks like Twitter is definitely not a space for privacy!! For those who may have felt uncomfortable with the term ‘pieces of trash’, I’m sorry. Please understand that I was just joking around as they are my close colleagues hehe 2PM 2AM SHINee are most definitely not pieces of trash, they are our precious guests for the show hehe”
