Girl Group Idol Receives Massive Flak Over Chris Brown-Related Post

A beloved third-generation girl group member has stirred up heated backlash with her social media post that many deemed problematic.

The idol in question is Solar, the leader of MAMAMOO.

Solar recently made a post on her Instagram, sharing a playful moment from Los Angeles. The problem?— In the video, she was dancing to “Look At Me Now,” a song by Chris Brown.

Given the criminal history of Brown, related mostly to violence against women, many K-Pop fans have started voicing their issues with artists associating with him in any form. The backlash evidently intensified after BTS members J-Hope and RM were seen publicly mingling with the singer after a recent concert.

Solar didn’t escape the criticism either. Her Instagram post has been flooded with fans expressing their disappointment, with some even reprimanding her for the song choice.

When some netizens argued that Solar wouldn’t get the same backlash as BTS, fans fought back, pointing out that none of them were coddling her mistake and showing previous instances of her taking accountability after being called out on similar issues.

and guess what! her fans are calling her out and demanding the removal of the song. they want her to apologise and hold her accountable

And you wanna know what solar fans are doing? Calling her out and demanding accountability instead of searching for other idols doing it so they can feel better about stanning someone who doesn’t give a fuck

Friendly reminder that when Solar was made aware of Rafa Mir’s rape allegations, she immediately took down the Solarsido video with him in it. I have faith she will delete the video and apologise over the song choice. pic.twitter.com/pWc9Q4KAJF
