Incident of Jannabi member's rude actions to SHINee Onew


When Jannabi was unknown, a member Kim Dohyung met Onew for the first time. He suggested Onew to play finger flicking together. Onew kept winning and it pissed off Kim Dohyung. Being drunk, Kim Dohyung started talking about music and acted rude. He asked sarcastically, "How long do you think you're going to last?" and told Onew to remember his band's name. Despite the rude actions, Onew kept encouraging him that his band will do well.

After Jannabi talked about this incident on the broadcast, they were criticized. So they wrote an apology but the apology was written by someone like a manager, not the members. The apology also had no sincerity and sounded sarcastic.

Pann: Is Jannabi's character for real?

1. [+234, -9] If they acted like that before becoming popular, imagine how they'll act when they become even more popular.

2. [+210, -12] Disappointed with Jannabi. By the way Onew is so nice...

3. [+156, -8] It's not a bashing post, it's a fact.

4. [+77, -0] It's true

5. [+72, -2] Jannabi is thoughtless. They didn't know this would bring criticisms and talked about it on the broadcast. They didn't think it was a wrongdoing. I guess they wanted to be issued since they weren't popular at that time so they mentioned SHINee Onew. They also said they never called or contacted Onew so they didn't even apologize to him directly. After getting criticized, they posted a sarcastic apology and got even more hate. They didn't look apologetic at all when they talked about it, they mentioned this incident for the sake of mentioning Onew.

6. [+60, -0] Kim Dohyung acted like that when he's younger than Onew but Onew encouraged him and said his band will do well. I can tell Onew has a good character. If Kim Dohyung did this to someone else, he would've been marked.

7. [+51, -1] Rather than being straight-forward, I think he's just a d*ck.

8. [+50, -4] After the apology was posted, people thought Shawols had targeted an indie band.


("Unlike our intentions, we were seen as an attention-seeking nugu band")


9. [+42, -53] I don't like Jannabi's songs because they sound like they copied old music too much.

10. [+42, -3] I like Jannabi but not Kim Dohyung. I know he was drunk but still. Even these days, he doesn't try to act nice on the broadcast. The members also know Kim Dohyung is straight-forward and rude so they're like "whatever".
