Henry, who wore a mask with the Chinese flag and "I love China" written on it, was embroiled in a controversy that this time he was silent about Korean insults.

On February 21st, in various online communities, articles expressing doubts about the comments on Henry's YouTube channel were posted.

Netizens informed that Henry's vlog comments posted in September of last year were receiving dozens of comments a day.

What netizens pointed out was the tone of the comments. Comments such as "I like Henry", "I love you", etc. have an awkward 'translation tone'.

Moreover, they argued that comments degrading Korea still remain, while comments criticizing China and Chinese are being deleted shortly thereafter.

As a result, domestic public opinion about Henry is getting colder.

Earlier, on October 1, last year, Henry wore a Chinese mask to commemorate the Chinese National Day and posted a congratulatory message on National Day.

He also took a pro-China step by posting a video of him playing a song titled "I Love China".

Domestic netizens expressed their disappointment by commenting, "Are you looking at China but not looking at Korea?" and "Why are you doing this when you are promoting in Korea?"

Meanwhile, Henry was born to a Hong Kong-based father of Chinese nationality and a Taiwanese mother. His nationality is known as Canadian.

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
