In the latest episodes of "Single’s Inferno 3," contestant Cho Min Ji faced criticism for what some viewers deemed as controversial scenes.
Throughout the show, Min Ji faced negativity for her actions. Initially liked for her cheerful personality, netizens quickly labeled her as a "Pick Me" and criticized her perceived "cringy" behavior.
The situation escalated when she cried after being rejected by Lee Gwan Hee on the helicopter.
Min Ji also received negative comments about wearing pajamas that some found too revealing.
In a viral video, Min Ji addressed the allegations and the hate she received. When asked about the helicopter incident, she explained that her tears were due to a stomachache, but she couldn't say so to avoid embarrassing fellow contestant Ha Jaeong.
She hinted that it might have been caused by cooking, and despite trying to smile through it, the tears wouldn't stop.
Regarding the pajamas, Min Ji clarified that the producers had requested her to wear pretty ones. She bought new ones, but they felt uncomfortable initially.
She acknowledged the confusion and tension, even within her family during that scene.
The online reaction to Min Ji's explanations was mixed. Some netizens sympathized, blaming "evil-editing" for the hate she faced.
However, others considered it a possible "PR stunt," questioning the consistency of Min Ji's recount of events.
Netizens' comments included:
"Minji seems nice and harmless. No clue why everyone is so salty about her."
"Interesting revelation about reality show illusions – the crew suggested the pajama."
"The hate is weird; she can wear whatever she wants. This PR damage control makes it worse for her."
"Not genuine lol. Unnecessary PR move, contradicting what she did on the show."
"Regardless, she provided two legendary, hilarious scenes: the pajama and helicopter."
