Censoring the South? Critics and Linguists Clash Over Wonyi’s Gyeongsang Regional Dialect

Published 3 days, 2 hours ago
Description

Girl group RESCENE's Wonyi finds herself at the center of a heated controversy after using a phrase critics link to extremist online culture rather than authentic Gyeongsang dialect. Documentary filmmaker Kim Hyun-ji and former politician Cho Guk have weighed in on the linguistic debate surrounding the Geoje-born idol's word choice. Meanwhile, NCT WISH made their Japanese television debut performing their remake of TRF's classic hit, FIFTY FIFTY headlined a massive Independence Day celebration at Camp Humphreys for seventy thousand attendees, and SEVENTEEN's new unit V8 featuring THE8 and Vernon dropped their debut mini-album exploring themes of consumed youth through hyperpop-infused electronic dance music.
