A complete summary of the controversy surrounding BTOB's Lee Chang-sub's remarks! We've compiled everything in one go, from the details of his "terrible manners" comment made during the dating counseling session on the web variety show 'On the Go', to From's apology post, and the still-heated reactions from netizens.
 
If you’ve checked X or the YouTube comment section lately, you’ll know 😭 There’s been a huge uproar because of a dating advice comment BTOB’s Lee Chang-sub made on a web variety show.
 
"Is asking someone to take out the car trash such a big deal?" vs "Why does my girlfriend have to do that every time?" This controversy spread in an instant, eventually leading the person to even post an apology. I’ve compiled a complete summary of the backstory, what exactly was said that caused the problem, and the atmosphere following the apology. 🔥
 

1. The Start of the Controversy, The Story Behind 'Open for Business' Episode 79 🚗

 
The scene in question was last Episode 79 of the web variety show 'Open for Business' by the YouTube channel '12th Floor', released on September 17 It came out of.

Whose Side Will You Take? The story featured in the segment went like this.
 
My boyfriend picks me up in his car every time we go on a date.
However, every time we broke up, I asked my girlfriend to throw away the trash in the car for me.
My girlfriend thinks she pays more for dates because she is grateful for the ride.
So I asked, "Is it strange to find this annoying?"
 
Looking at the story alone, it was a topic where opinions could have been divided, but the situation escalated as the panelists' reactions leaned heavily to one side.
 

2. Panelists' Stances: Who Took Whom? ⚖️

 
According to reports, all the cast members except Kim Won-hoon stood on the boyfriend's side.
 
Lee Chang-sub → Boyfriend's Side (Most Agitated)
Kwak Beom → Boyfriend's Side
Kim Ji-yu → Boyfriend's Side
pH1 → Boyfriend's Side
Kim Won-hoon → Girlfriend Edition
 
pH-1 enjoyed the pickup convenience, so is carrying a single piece of trash upstairs really such a big deal? That was the gist of it. On the other hand For Kim Won-hoon, giving a ride and passing the trash on are separate issues. I drew a line saying that 💡
 

3. Lee Chang-sub, what did he say? 😳

Lee Chang-sub was by far the center of this controversy. Much more agitated than the other cast members, using high-level expressions such as "terrible manners," "completely inconsiderate," and "Why am I so angry?" They say he poured out his emotions. Apparently, even the edited subtitles included phrases like "rising anger" and "brutal."
 
There are two main points that drew the most criticism.
 
Regarding the fact that the girlfriend pays more for dates, he concluded, "That is based on her standards," without knowing the exact circumstances.
He added speculative remarks that the sender never actually said, claiming that even if the girlfriend had offered to pay for the gas, she would have said the trash was excessive.
 
This scene became such a hot topic as an edited version spread across X, racking up over 7.35 million views.
 

4. What was the content of the reflection post uploaded to From? ✍️

 
As criticism grew Lee Chang-sub shared his feelings on the fan communication platform From on September 22. I left this.
 
In summary, it is like this.
 
There is a limit to everything, but lately, while managing my schedule, I think I've been unwittingly crossing it.
I was obsessed with doing better, being more fun, and being more memorable.
I myself had become desensitized to stimulating things.
I will reflect on my words, actions, and expressions and return to my original intentions.
 
However, since it does not directly mention specific broadcasts or remarks, various media outlets are interpreting it as a post conscious of the 'open for business' controversy.
 

5. Public opinion shows no signs of cooling down even after the apology 🔥

 
The problem is that the atmosphere hasn't changed much even after the apology post. As of the morning of September 23, the video in question has recorded 2.34 million views and over 8,300 comments, with the most comments reportedly related to Lee Chang-sub.
 
Looking at the comments, the flow seemed to be roughly like this.
 
The opinion that one should not send trash even to friends or acquaintances
Criticism that they remained silent on Kim Won-hoon's rebuttal but were particularly sharp-tongued toward the female panelist's rebuttal.
The reaction was that the comment saying it would have been excessive even if they paid for the gas was what hurt the most.
The assessment that only Kim Won-hoon was sensible
 
On the other hand, some are asking, "Is it really necessary to publish an article about something the parties involved should handle amongst themselves?", so it seems the debate itself will continue for the time being.

    창섭님은 뒤에 화제에서도 이 얘기 꺼내고 뇌절(?)의 느낌이 있어서 그런가 제일 욕먹는것같..은 그런 생각이 들긴하네요..
