For further context, the TikTok challenge was based on Jo Jung Bong's song "Do You Know Dr. Hong?," which became popular for its inappropriate context.

The song contains explicit lyrics about a woman who wants to grow her breast size, along with the context of a man wanting to grow his genitals. According to netizens, the song is also claimed to be trending with children despite its lyrics.

•  "Even kids in kindergarten were singing to this song."
•  "I understood its context when I watched it in YouTube shorts, but I was shocked to know that it's also popular among school kids."

But what mostly bothered everyone was the fact that Yerin, a K-pop idol, got involved in such an odd challenge.

In a separate forum, netters called out Yerin's current agency Bill Entertainment for giving her this kind of skit.

•  "Wow, I hate that they asked a female idol to engage in something like this."
•  "What kind of agency is this?"
•  "They should get rid of content like this one, but they make her do weird things."
•  "I really hate this."
