Netizens were unimpressed with the concept of Choi Ye Na's new single album titled track, "Hate Rodrigo".

Following the release of Choi Ye Na's highlight medley and teaser concept photos for her upcoming single album, many netizens expressed discomfort with the concept of the track, which seemed to take a dig at the American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo.

The title track, "Hate Rodrigo," not only caused a stir but also drew attention to the striking similarities between the scenes and photos used for Choi Ye Na's album and Olivia Rodrigo's music video scenes and 'Sour' album cover photo, raising suspicions.

Netizens shared their thoughts, expressing concerns such as, "Aren't they too close in age for her to be doing an 'homage' to the artist?" and "This feels like low-level trolling."

They also questioned the use of the word 'hate' and wondered if Choi Ye Na went too far with her approach.

The comments from netizens included:

"It seems strange that she would choose to emulate an artist who is around the same age as her. It feels like she's trying too hard."

"This concept is just petty and unnecessary. Why would she stoop to this level?"

"I understand what she's trying to convey, but using the word 'hate' seems too extreme."

"I think Choi Ye Na went overboard with this concept. It's not a good look."

"I'm disappointed by the lack of originality in Choi Ye Na's concept. It's like a cheap imitation of Olivia Rodrigo."

Writer Lee Seon Ok has raised concerns over the way actor Jung Woo Sung is being portrayed in connection to his recent scandal involving an out-of-wedlock child.

On November 26, Lee Seon Ok took to social media to share her discomfort with the public reaction to the situation.

She stated, “A woman, who is an adult, made the decision to have a child on her own. How can anyone say the man made her a single mother? A 35-year-old woman is not a brainwashed minor.”

She went on to question why, when a woman chooses to give birth and raise a child, the responsibility is being shifted to the man, even though they weren’t in a relationship.

She pointed out, “When talking about abortion rights, people often argue that a woman’s body belongs to her alone, and only she should have the right to choose. But when it comes to childbirth, suddenly the man is blamed for making someone a single mother.”

Lee Seon Ok also questioned, “Wasn’t the push for men to share responsibility in abortion laws meant to involve men in decisions post-birth?” She emphasized that “it’s not right to criticize or assign blame to others for their personal choices.”

In her post, she further criticized people who were assigning blame, stating, “If you think this incident harmed the woman’s life, then learn about proper contraception.”

On the same day, Democratic Party lawmaker Lee So Young also weighed in on the controversy, saying she didn’t understand why Jung Woo Sung’s choice not to marry had become such a topic of public criticism.

She pointed out that society accepts couples who have children and then divorce, and wondered if we should really criticize people who have children without marrying and live separately.

Meanwhile, Jung Woo Sung recently confirmed that he is the biological father of model Moon Ga Bi’s child, despite not being in a relationship with her at the time.

Moon Ga Bi gave birth to the child in March and is raising it alone. Jung Woo Sung’s agency has stated that they are discussing the best way to co-parent and that Jung Woo Sung is committed to being a good father.
