The controversy sprouted from a post on X (formerly Twitter) which claimed that Seohyun had shown “pure bitterness” toward Jihyo. The claim was based on a video clip featuring her and fellow Girls’ Generation member Hyoyeon. In the clip, Hyoyeon was dancing to her 2021 song “Second,” while Seohyun was pretending to thoroughly flip through the pages of a magazine in the back.

This seemingly harmless video became a source of controversy after fans noticed that Seohyun reacted as if she was repulsed after flipping a page of the magazine, and it happened to be a full-page ad featuring Jihyo.

Fans of both idols have been engaged in a heated back-and-forth since the post went viral, garnering over a million views. While some felt that Seohyun had “gotten away with” being disrespectful toward Jihyo, others countered that it was supposed to be a simple skit and that she was reacting to the product in the ad, not Jihyo.

Seohyun is literally the definition of class and elegance. She DID NOT mean to insult Jihyo AT ALL. She scanned through other pages and did exaggerated expressions too. This was just for fun. Irresponsible? Yes, but they already took down the video as soon as they noticed. https://t.co/S0Jeo1ZQHn

seohyun didn't do this with malice, only oncels took it as shade bcs they have no sense of humor. This was the trend for Hyo's single back then and as you can see, seo was laughing randomly to every pages. Put some respect on seohyun's name! https://t.co/cbIpVFeEOW
