Popular drinking-themed web show ‘Zzanbro’ is under massive fire from the K-pop community. A recent teaser featuring TXT members Soobin and Beomgyu has sparked severe sexual harassment allegations. Fans and netizens alike are calling out the show’s hosts and production team for crossing the line.
Uncomfortable Moments on ‘Zzanbro’
The controversy ignited when veteran host Shin Dong Yup made inappropriate jokes directed at Soobin’s physical appearance. The situation worsened when the host attempted to physically measure the idol’s chest. According to reports, these actions left the TXT member feeling humiliated during the broadcast.
Assistant MC Escalates the Situation
Rather than defusing the tension, assistant MC Jung Ho Cheol escalated the inappropriate atmosphere by exposing his own chest. Making matters worse, the ‘Zzanbro’ production team framed this highly uncomfortable moment as humor. They added comedic captions to the scene, showing a severe lapse in broadcast ethics.
Fans Mobilize for Protest
The K-pop fan community quickly voiced their outrage over the segment’s blatant disrespect. TXT fans have heavily criticized the production team for failing to protect their artists. In fact, fans are reportedly considering sending protest truck demonstrations to demand a formal response and accountability.
A Pattern of Quiet Deletions?
In response to the overwhelming backlash, the ‘Zzanbro’ production team quietly deleted the teaser video. However, they have yet to issue an official public apology to TXT or their dedicated fans. Unfortunately, this is not the show’s first time simply burying a controversy.
The program has a documented history of quietly removing contentious content, including:
- Deleting the recent controversial teaser featuring TXT’s Soobin and Beomgyu.
- Quietly removing a previous episode featuring actors Lee Jae Ryong and Ahn Jae Wook due to their past drunk driving records.
The ongoing lack of accountability has left many viewers deeply frustrated with the show’s production standards. What are your thoughts on how the ‘Zzanbro’ team handled this situation with TXT? Let us know your opinions in the comments below!
