Stray Kids member Felix recently gained attention for setting clear boundaries during a live broadcast celebrating his birthday.

During the livestream, Felix interacted with fans, and because he is often compared to a cat, the staff gave him some cat-related items like ears and paws.

Fans noticed how Felix responded honestly as he tried on the items, showing his reactions.

However, things took a turn when Felix was handed a choker. The idol seemed surprised and hesitated. After thinking about it, he said, "Am I really going to do this? No."

As Felix read fans' comments asking if he would wear the choker, he appeared uncomfortable. He firmly set a limit, pointing to the ears and paws and saying, "I think this is enough, okay?"

When given a tail next, Felix tried it on briefly but quickly removed it, saying, "No, this is weird."

Some fans had already expressed concerns over the connotations of certain items, and they were quick to praise Felix for standing his ground.

Netizens applauded him for setting boundaries and making it clear that he wouldn’t wear something he felt uncomfortable in, a move that many saw as empowering for idols.

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.
