On the 27th of last month, a video of Haewon, a member of Idol NMIX, experiencing a daily part-time job at a toast shop was posted on the YouTube channel 'Workman'.
On this day, Haewon told elementary school students who visited the store "Does everyone live here (Daechi-dong)?" and began the conversation.
And one student says, `Living in Apgujeong,' and Haewon says, `Where in Apgujeong?," he asked back. When this student answered "Hyundai Apartment", Haewon looked surprised as he exchanged eyes with the employee behind him. Hyundai Apartment in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul is considered one of the most expensive apartments. Recently, Hyundai 2nd Apartment (198.41㎡, 11th floor) was traded at 9.4 billion won and recorded a new price.
Along with this remark, the caption "Daechi Kids' Protection Survey" was added loudly at the bottom of the screen.
The production team then looked at the expensive brand padding worn by another student and asked "Who bought this clothes?" to which the student replied "My father bought it." In response, Haewon "Does your father work for that brand? Or a doctor?"I asked, and the student answered "No".
Then Haewon asked the student who lived in Hyundai Apartment again "Is your father a doctor?"I asked. When this student answers "right," the crew tells this student, who has a favorite friend earlier, "Then you can just confess." made the remark.
At the same time, the caption 'Alpha Male Early Confirmation' was inserted into the scene. Alpha mail is a word that means the highest rank and rank among the group, and it is an expression that means 'leading male' in relation to the opposite sex.
Regarding the scene, online communities and others said that questions and conversations from the maritime and production teams were inappropriate. He criticized students living in rich villages for asking specifically about their apartments and parents' jobs, and for giving them a message that if their parents' jobs are doctors, they can act actively to the opposite sex. It was pointed out that it encourages classification according to economic power.
