Apologized for basically calling Choa old, or "past her prime", people will usually call women age 25+ "bent" or past her prime.

1. [+934, -199] This isn't even controversial. People are always calling any man in his early twenties an ajusshi just for having served in the army.

2. [+797, -192] I don't know what the problem is. If Choa was upset, I'd understand, but is it Choa's fans who are causing this fuss or women who are past their prime as well??

3. [+681, -113] I don't think it's anything to be apologizing over but his apology is well written. Doesn't give any excuses and just admits to his mistake. Good to see.

4. [+65, -33] He just said it to be funny.. seems more like the journalist is trying to stir up a controversy

5. [+65, -26] If he can't even joke to this level on a variety show, then what is allowed?

6. [+59, -34] What's so wrong with what he said? It's the truth, why are people getting fussy over it?

7. [+49, -28] I seriously hate anyone who obsesses over something to this level. Now even Choa's fans are entering that territory of crazy. They're the ones who are making variety shows so boring to watch.

8. [+45, -20] The word that he used can be offensive in the wrong context but the word itself isn't anything bad. Just means that someone is 'bent in half'. He didn't mean it in a misogynist way or anything.
