Recently, comedian Noh Hong-chul was the target of angry netizens after nuzzling up to former S.E.S. member Eugene on the MBC variety show, “Come to Play, Return of the Kings” special on August 25th 2008. On discussion boards across the internet, netizens deemed his behavior as sexual harassment.
What happened was that Noh Hong Chul came behind Eugene suddenly, hugging and nuzzling up against her face while she was dancing to their popular hit “I’m Your Girl.”
A spokesperson for Eugene states that no harm was done and that Eugene took it all in stride.
Hmm. If this was Daniel Henney or Song Seung-heon that suddenly came up and nuzzled her, would netizens think of this as sexual harassment?
Food for thought.
hahaha NCH is hilarious
lol i mean NHC
dats jus scary!
lol..ok he was a fanatic fan @_@.
Who takes Korean netizens seriously? They are bunch of adolescent school kids that have nothing better to do…
The internet is serious business! Gosh.
Netizens are ridiculous.
that’s ok!
I kinda agree with popseoul, had it been some hot guy no would have had a problem with it. Still that looks funny as hell.
Eugene looks beautiful with the short hair.
thats just stupid, you’re right popseoul if its a hot guy then it wouldn’t matter. netizens are overdoing it.
oh gawsh
why is this even news?
f*ck netizens. why do koreans care so much about what ppl say online?
If it was Daniel Henney people would probably target Eugene cause they’re jealous!
Looked okay to me, I’ve seen worse on game shows. Plus they’re probably friends, so I don’t think any harm was done.
well though i agree with popseoul…i still think what the guy did was too much….i mean he look perverted as hell…and i dont think daniel henney or dennis oh or any hot artists would do that kind of things…i mean they are friends or not but you shouldnt do this kind of thing on tv especially when you know you what kind of place you live in….with netizen and stuff…. WHAT A EFFIN DUMBASS
first of all daniel henney the other guy wouldnt do something like that in first place. second of all.. isn’t noh the type of person who does that kind of stuff anyway?
that was nothing… sheesh! netizens get a life!
lol moon hee jun.
Agreed with popseoul regarding the daniel hennery issue.
but anyways,i would’nt want it if some guy comes up hugging me like that too.
altho it is for entertainment and meant no harm,but gotta watch your actions sometimes.
“Hmm. If this was Daniel Henney or Song Seung-heon that suddenly came up and nuzzled her, would netizens think of this as sexual harassment?”
hell, no. they would think that it was ‘cute’
“Like ommmyyygaaawd!! they should like, GO OUT!! insert: ‘giggle giggle *screech* giggle.’
I’m telling you, Korean netizens need a slap in the face.
HAHAHAHAHAH SEXUAL HARASSMENT!?
Netziens need to stop being such whiny little prudes or jealous losers who couldn’t get any in this or the next lifetime.
No Hongchul didn’t do anything that he hasn’t done before, and it was just for laughs, he wasn’t like grinding against her or putting his hands in innapropriate places.
And yeah, who the hell cares what someone says online. Korea is full of internet warriors anyways.
Whatever. It’s not like he’s doing something that was not envisaged in advance (maybe I’m wrong but that show is scenarized, isn’t it ?)
And like someone said if was a hot guy, netizens would probably target Eugene…
hahah hw ridiculous
lmao. pathetic.
one question, where is Eun JiWon from, which group?
It’s a freakin’ hug!
But yeah, I also wonder if it’s Daniel or some other hot stars, would that make a difference? I mean maybe NHC gives off that “creepy” vibe or something ..but if it’s someone hotter, it would be like “oMgz~~ so cute!~
NHC is just the most hilarious guy ever. I love him. Netizens need to get over. Did it entertain us? Yes. Isn’t that the point? They seem to be having fun anyway.
I can understand why some people find this dude scary, but his weirdness is what makes him hilarious and fun to watch. It is just part of his character on television to do crazy stuff like this as he rebels against everyone else. Netizens seriously need a life. All they do is try to stir up nonsense when the celebrities they care for disapproves of their actions. Sheesh, Noh Hong-Chul was just being funny by “annoying” his friend and it is not like Eugene was upset about it afterward.
haha noh hong chul is so funny…sexual harassment wtf?!they’re just having fun
this is funnyy:]
scary but funny.
yeah..seriously!wth with all these netizens?lol popseoul,u should translate our rational english comments to korean and..idk..find a way for those netizens in korea to read..?haha..they’re a ridiculous bunch of losers that only have the courage to attack ppl on the net..
and about the issue..tsk3x..dat is sad man..he isnt even doing something so out of his character..i agree with some cooment about it being inappropiate in korea..but CHILL~! ur food thought ia really funny!agree 100%!! u know, when the drama full house was popular, there’s a scene where they’re fighting for a bed..rain nearly put his arm on SHG’s chest! why the hell i didnt any “PERVERT” @ “UNACCEPTABLE” from netizens! that is soo freaking DOUBLE STANDARD!
OMG even though im korean
I HATE THOSE NETIZEN IN KOREA
they kill movie stars and put movie stars in depression
i wish they would stop friggin hating on PEOPLE TO MUCH!
if its NHC it’s sexual harassment LOL… ok fine maybe not, since i know hes usually not normal anyways, but i still feel bad for eugene, like wth XD
I saw that episode and it was all for fun. Netizens take things too seriously.
