[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Comedy TV web variety show 'From Today, Exercise Ddung' has been embroiled in a sexual harassment subtitle controversy.
On the 26th, episode 1 of 'Forced to Do It! From Today, Exercise Ddung' showed broadcaster Kim Minkyeong starting exercise with trainer Yang Chisung.
'From Today, Exercise Ddung' is a new project that began from Comedy TV's 'Delicious Guys,' featuring Kim Junhyun, Kim Minkyeong, Moon Seyoon, and Yoo Minsang.
In that broadcast, Kim Minkyeong groaned while doing intense exercise. The editor expressed through subtitles, "29+ sound warning. If you are in a public place, please mute the sound for a moment."
Moreover, the editor edited Kim Minkyeong's sounds during exercise to make them seem more emphasized than in reality, causing controversy.
Netizens who saw this reacted with anger, saying, "This is clear sexual harassment," "Why are the subtitles like that on a video of someone exercising hard," and "The editor should apologize to Kim Minkyeong for sexual harassment."
