Apparently, Jung Joon Young's statement is correct. Pineapples grow on plants.
=====
1. [+681, -27] The fact that a national broadcast is giving us wrong information is not right... Yeah Jung Joon Young wasn't sure of his statement so he was mumbling, but the staff wrote sarcastic subtitles and made fun of him. The staff is at wrong.
2. [+554, -21] All audiences watch the TV, so isn't it wrong to do this? Jung Joon Young is not fully correct but at least he was close to the answer. The staff had no idea but they called him out just to make fun of him. They should be more considerate.
3. [+546, -47] There's this saying, "ignorant ones are the brave ones". This perfectly suits for WGM staff and Jung Yoomi. When will WGM staff stop doing things like this? Called Taemin an asshole and even the MCs attacked Jung Joon Young. Also the fake editing and their ignorant knowledge. Jung Yoomi slapped Jung Joon Young, and called him a crook. There's no solution for this stupid show, when are they gonna stop wasting the time slot? Apologize and take off this show. I really think they need to give an official apology.
4. [+77, -4] Jung Joon Young wasn't wrong with the pineapple statement. The staff made it seem like he was wrong with those subtitles. Even if he was wrong, he had no reason to be called a crook. And how is this even funny? They're only making fun of him. I'm not a fan of him but even I found it weird. The staff should formally apologize and take Joon Young off the show.
5. [+77, -7] The screenshots make it seem like Jung Joon Young was wrong, but watch the actual episode. Jung Joon Young was correct but Jung Yoomi and the subtitles made him a fool. Such a low class.
6. [+73, -2] I knew about the pineapples so I was really dumbfounded when I watched it. Jung Joon Young was indeed mumbling his words but when he was on Superstar K, he said he lived in many countries, including Philippines. Pineapple farms are common in Philippines so he must've seen a lot of them. And they made him a complete fool. The staff needs to apologize for sure. It's wrong to give viewers wrong information.
7. [+62, -2] Jung Joon Young is not wrong. He talked about the roots, growing on plants, and that oranges are growing on trees. But the MCs, the subtitles, and Jung Yoomi made him a "crook" and made fun of him. The subtitle even said "for Jung Joon Young who doesn't know this". He lived in Philippines for two years, of course he would know about it. The problem is that WGM always makes him to be a tryhard, a selfish husband, a game addict, and a lazy person. Jung Yoomi is taking this chance and media-plays, disses him, slaps him, and tells him not to cut in line when he didn't. This pineapple statement is only the peak of an iceberg. I've never seen a WGM article that was helping Jung Joon Young's image. I've only seen like 300 articles praising Jung Yoomi.
8. [+61, -1] The WGM subtitles were so weird. The Jung Joon Young guy was right but the subtitles made him a liar. I was like wth? They should know for sure before editing it. In the interview, they agreed with him but they dissed him with subtitles. Of course, WGM is nothing to trust.
9. [+58, -2] Why is WGM so desperate to bash their male casts? They've been getting into similar controversies since last year but they're not trying to fix it.
10. [+54, -2] Jung Joon Young has been unfairly treated on WGM. Jung Yoomi slapped him and made him a selfish person who cuts into lines. And now this pineapple controversy. He must be mad.
