Super Junior Kim Heechul Faces Criticism for Sexually Suggestive Joke Toward Kwon Eunbi on ‘Knowing Bros’
Kim Heechul of Super Junior is under fire for making a sexually suggestive joke toward Kwon Eunbi during a recent episode of JTBC’s variety show ‘Knowing Bros.’ The controversy erupted after Heechul repeatedly asked Kwon Eunbi, “What are you most confident about?” When Eunbi answered “my face,” Heechul pretended not to hear and pressed her to answer again, as if expecting a different response. Eunbi eventually raised her voice and repeated, “my face.” Some viewers interpreted Heechul’s persistent questioning as an attempt to elicit an answer related to Eunbi’s body, reflecting and reinforcing the sexualized gaze that some netizens have directed at her.
Public Backlash and Ongoing Debate
The incident has sparked significant backlash online, with critics arguing that Kim Heechul’s behavior was inappropriate and perpetuated a culture of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. Many netizens have pointed out that such remarks not only put female guests in uncomfortable positions but also normalize objectification on national television. The controversy is fueling broader discussions about the responsibility of celebrities and broadcasters to maintain respectful conduct and challenge harmful stereotypes.

- @gogumacake0127 Is he out of his mind with the sexual harassment?ㅠ I don’t want to see Kim HC on TV anymore.
- @sungchaniil Sexual harassment like this is airing on national TV in 2025… Truly unbelievable.
- @WarrrBoy Is that show still on? I’m so sick of it. How many decades are they going to milk the same tired, boring material? No wonder male celebrities act like new nobility.
- @ujjjul How low do you have to be to find this entertaining?
@dntrlsek11
People are asking why this is considered sexual harassment, but if it’s not her face, what else would it be? Obviously, it would be about her body.
What’s your opinion about this controversy?
