On the 17th, Lee Chae Young broadcast live through the fan community platform Weverse.
However, a fan released a malicious comment about "fromis_9" member Baek Ji-heon. There was a mixture of personal attacks and swearing at her parents.
After staring at the screen for a while, Lee Chae Young said that it was too late and was about to take a shower and go to sleep. And Lee Chae Young ended the live broadcast.
Weverse is operated by WEVERSE COMPANY, a subsidiary of HYBE. Weverse has been criticized for not having a proper system to prevent malicious comments.
On SNS such as Twitter, comments with hashtags such as "You guys are also accomplices in Weverse" and "HYBE Don't stand by" are spreading.
Fromis_9's fan flover said, "From around September 2021 when fromis_9 entered Weverse until now, malicious comments such as sexual harassment and death threats toward members and their families have continued. They are suffering."
Continued, "Furthermore, from February 2022, one of the members had to stop activities for about four months due to psychological anxiety symptoms."
Flover said, "This has been going on for more than a year," and added, "Rather than enduring like this, I don't think this kind of thing should happen again. Malicious comments. I don't want to see any more of the members whose expressions harden while watching."
