Lee Gyeong-sil → Lee Se-young, ‘Sexual Harassment Controversy’ Between the ‘hairy’ and ‘rudeness’ of comedians [Oh!쎈 초점]

[OSEN=유수연 기자] Lee Kyung-sil’s remarks were embroiled in a ‘sexual harassment controversy’. In addition to this, the comedians’ remarks that crossed the ‘line’ that were brought up earlier are being re-examined.

On the 17th, Lee Kyung-sil appeared as a special DJ on ‘Cultwo Show’ and talked with actor Lee Je-hoon, who made a comeback with the drama ‘Exemplary Taxi 2’. At the time, when Lee Je-hoon’s undressing picture from the drama was released, Lee Gyeong-sil said, “If you pour water on her breasts and breastbone and drink it from under her, that’s medicinal water. new water purifier It becomes an essence from the uvula, and if we take it and eat it, it is medicinal water.”

Some listeners who saw the remark in real time pointed out that it was a sexual harassment remark towards Lee Je-hoon. After the broadcast ended, controversy erupted, and BS Radio removed the highlight clip of ‘Cultwo Show’ featuring Lee Je-hoon and Pyo Ye-jin from the official YouTube channel and replay podcast. However, negative public opinion toward Lee Kyung-sil continues, such as complaints filed with the Vigilance Committee.

Prior to Lee Gyeong-sil, several comedians’ risky levels were controversial several times.

In 2017, comedian Lee Se-young, who appeared on ‘SNL Korea’, was embroiled in controversy for her behavior of pointing to the main parts of a male idol group invited as a host. At the time, the members were greatly embarrassed, and fans who encountered this also accused Lee Se-young of sexual harassment in the National Newspaper.

The police sent Lee Se-young to the prosecution with the opinion of dismissal, saying that they could not find any suspicion of sexual harassment, and the victims also stated that they did not feel any discomfort. Lee Se-young apologized, saying, “I’m sincerely sorry,” but she was re-examined for remarks such as “I am the Joan Rowling of the porn world” in front of idols on other broadcasting stations in the past, which sparked controversy.

In addition, there were several cases of comedians who were engulfed in sexual harassment with rude words and actions that went beyond ‘hairy hair’, such as Lee Guk-joo who appeared on an entertainment program and touched a male performer’s butt.

Men’s ‘gender’ is just as sensitive as women’s ‘gender’. The era of gender sensitivity, which has been emphasized in society recently, is necessary for both genders. Isn’t it time to improve the sexual consciousness of celebrities as well as broadcasters?
