A recent video clip showing a non-interaction between IVE’s Wonyoung and ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon has gone viral on social media, stirring up discussions in the K-pop community. The two, who were previously co-MCs on Music Bank for about a year from 2021 to 2022, have gained attention over the incident, reigniting conversations about the pressure idols face when interacting with one another.

What Happened In The Clip?

The clip in question was taken from a March 2022 episode of Idol’s Snack Spree, where Wonyoung and Sunghoon appeared together. In the video, Wonyoung struggles to open a pack of snacks, while Sunghoon, seated nearby, remains passive, avoiding helping her.

“This is so funny. Jang Wonyoung: ‘Don’t help me no matter what.’ Park Sunghoon: ‘Don’t ask me to help you no matter what,’” wrote the netizen who reposted the clip on Threads.

The exchange of awkward glances between the two idols immediately became a hot topic, with many fans interpreting it as a sign of the extreme scrutiny placed on K-pop stars. The original poster also commented on the situation, clarifying that the lack of interaction was likely due to concerns over potential backlash.

“At that time, Sunghoon and Wonyoung were MC partners and got a lot of hate, so they had to avoid this kind of situation as much as possible,” said the original post.
