In ENHYPEN’s latest EN’OCLOCK program, Sunoo’s game of guessing which tteokbokki belongs to which brand by tasting tteokbokki has become an unexpected topic on Twitter. Tteokbokki is Korea’s traditional hot sauce rice cake. Sunoo likes to eat tteokbokki very much and this type of game has been prepared considering that she can easily guess the brands since she eats a lot of tteokbokki. Sunoo indeed guessed the tteokbokki brands correctly in the game.
Before the competition, ENHYPEN bandmates say encouraging phrases such as “this is your specialty!”, “you can do it” to support Sunoo. His friends were actually joking about Sunoo’s love of tteokbokki and food, but some fans interpreted it differently. They thought that Sunoo was treated like she eats a lot and looks fat. They even mentioned that their bandmates are constantly commenting on Sunoo’s weight. For example, at some group fan meetings, they brought up comments from the members about each other, such as “I don’t eat a lot but Sunoo eats a lot” or “You need to lose some weight”.
However, some ENHYPEN fans pointed out that there were misunderstandings due to the Korean translation. Actually “eating well” means a compliment in Korean. The Korean word for “Chubby”, that is, “chubby”, is “tongtong”, which is actually an adjective used to refer to the sweet cheeks of babie. It’s great that international fans are sincere with Sunoo about his weight, but it turns out that her bandmates are actually just complimenting Sunoo’s sweet cheeks and love for food.
In short, the Sunoo thread that went up on Twitter was finally sweetened.
