On April 15, 2024, BABYMONSTER appeared as a guest on Park Myung Soo‘s radio show. He turned the spotlight on maknae Chiquita, who is known for her young age. She is also one of the foreign members in the group. As a young girl who has traveled to Korea to make her dream work, Park Myung Soo naturally asked if she missed her hometown.
After a series of questions about Thailand and her struggles in Korea, Park Myung Soo cracked a joke, asking which unnie she hates the most in the group.
Although Park Myung Soo quickly brushed it off as a lighthearted quib, the members were visibly shocked at the question.
Most of them could not contain their surprise. While Chiquita was rightfully flustered, she handled it like a champ, glossing over it quickly.
Netizens have criticized the MC for his inappropriate and unprofessional question.
him: Who do you hate the most?

Although Park Myung Soo does have a more candid brand of humor, fans are not excusing his attitude.
ppl were like, “it’s his concept/his brand” well fvck his concept??? either it’s a joke or whatever i found some of his comments are unnecessary for real (ive watched some of his content on ytb with different idols) https://t.co/oZr3sdWPHk

On the other hand, many took it as a chance to praise the girls. They managed to handle the question with grace and humor, despite being caught off-guard.
See this is why I’m proud of all of my girls professionalism cause myself as a person would have said “fck professionalism” and went tf off for asking something as ignorant as that to a minor mind you 😑 https://t.co/WdAyWAng0C
