IVE Wonyoung And ENHYPEN Sunghoon’s Non-Interaction Goes Viral

The situation seemingly highlights an issue in K-pop.

A non-interaction between former Music Bank co-MCs, IVE‘s Wonyoung and ENHYPEN‘s Sunghoon, has gone viral after being reposted on Threads.

The duo was co-MCs for Music Bank for about a year, from 2021 to 2022. While there were many positive, memorable moments from this time, some were worried that the two would receive unjust hate simply because they were a female idol and a male idol interacting with one another.

A clip seemingly proving this worry to be valid has now resurfaced and gone viral.

Wonyoung and Sunghoon appeared on Idol’s Snack Spree together in March 2022. The clip shows Wonyoung attempting to open a pack of snacks but failing to do so.

The reposted clip also highlighted Sunghoon’s reaction as Wonyoung made her attempt.

The netizen who reposted the clip wrote the following caption.

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.’

The original poster also explained the situation to a commenter who needed help understanding what was going on.

Commenter: ‘Why didn’t he help out?’
Original poster: ‘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.
