A clip of a video call between a fan and BXB’s Jihun is going viral online.
On June 29, a fan posted a clip of their video call with Jihun and couldn’t believe they allegedly cursed at them when they worked so hard to get a video call. In the clip, you can hear him saying, “Ah sshi-” sounding similar to the word shibal, or f*ck.

Jihun Jihun~ Why did you curse before the video call started? I worked so hard to be able to see you. How could you do this to me? Don’t you know that I can hear evreything.

However, although many felt that although it didn’t seem like he actually cursed, they agreed it wasn’t professional to act like that during a video call event.
얼핏 봐선 연결이 잘 안 됐던지 주변 사람이랑 얘기하다가 씨~ 이런식으로 나온 것 같긴한데 쨌든 영통 준비 중에 저런 언행을 한건 걍 프로의식이 없는거지 뭐 https://t.co/vicPFUGafm

From the looks of it, it seems like the connection wasn’t good, and it just sounds like he said, ‘Shi~’ while talking to the person next to him. But either way, it doesn’t seem professional that he was talking that way while preparing for a video call.
이건 약간 팬한테 욕햇다기보단 그냥 옆사람이랑 장난치면서
아니야 씨<<한걸로들리는데 어쨋든 이트윗으로 듣보망돌 홍보됐으니까 좋은일하신듯 https://t.co/DDBTZB8tb2— 쇼타사랑갤러리 (@nyamiisback) June 30, 2024
I don’t think he was cursing at the fan, but more like joking around with the person next to him and saying, ‘Ah sshi~’. Anyway, I guess this tweet gave this group some attention so I guess the OP did a good deed.
But what gained even more attention than the alleged swearing, was the shock people had about his past. Turns out he was the actor who played Kim Taesung from the 2013 drama, The Queen’s Classroom.

However, others felt that they this was similar to ZEROBASEONE Kim Jiwoong‘s video call controversy.

There’s actually an idol that curses even after seeing the Kim Jiwoong controversy…crazy.
듣보라서 김지웅처럼 욕해서 뜰려고그랫나봄 https://t.co/8oOgxqSS1l

I guess he’s trying to get famous by cursing like Kim Jiwoong since he’s a nugu.
앙딱정을 보고도 느끼는게 없구나 https://t.co/n6azYs3peM

Did he not learn anything after seeing the controversy with Kim Jiwoong.
개무섭게 생겼네 앙딱정 시즌2임…? https://t.co/5GGhPBQf8i

He looks so scary. Is this season two of Kim Jiwoong’s controversy?
What are your thoughts on this?
On the other hand, Jihun began his career as a child actor and is currently the leader of BXB, which made its debut in 2023.
