LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin faces criticism after leaving a controversial comment about Messi
LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin came under controversy over a comment she made about world-famous soccer star Messi.
Last week, on Weverse, a fan community, a fan pretending to be Lionel Messi wrote a post to LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin, “If you comment, I will quit playing soccer”. In response, Yunjin replied, “I should have replied to this a few months ago.”
Coincidentally, a few months ago, Messi and Argentina won the World Cup in 2022. Yunjin’s reply seems to imply that she didn’t want Messi and Argentina to win the World Cup in 2022. Although Yunjin was probably joking, her comment still faces backlash from fans of Messi and the Argentina national team.
Some netizens criticized Yunjin for being thoughtless, leaving comments such as, “As a public figure, she should think before she speaks. She shouldn’t have joked like that.”
After criticism surfaced, Yunjin kept silent and quietly deleted the controversial comment.
Huh Yunjin, an American-Korean, is currently the main vocalist of LE SSERAFIM. Thanks to her beautiful visuals and powerful vocals, Yunjin is considered to have great potential to become a top female idol of the 4th generation.
