On August 3, the first episode was finally unveiled, however, it is becoming a hot topic among viewers and K-pop enthusiasts for the wrong reason.

First, WayZenNies (WayV fandom) are disappointed with how the show's flow made them feel like Ten and YangYang were only guests, rather than hosts of their own broadcast because of the focus on singer Han Heejun.

What made fans and viewers more uncomfortable watching the show was Han's sexist and fatphobic remark that goes beyond the channel's goal to influence listeners and viewers positively by sharing personal stories and life lessons.

In particular, during the part where the three are explaining the concept of the program, there is a segment where they shared TMI stories. Han then blurted out:

"I went to the hair shop and my designer lost her weight. I had no idea she was that pretty before she lost that weight."

Later on, Han deliberately made a fatphobic remark when a sent-in letter seeks advice on how to tell a kid that Santa Claus isn't real.

The singer made an insignificant remark, saying:

"[...] which can be challenging due to his weight. The cookies cause his insulin to spike contributing to his body weight."

Viewers, Fans Demand Dive Studios Leave Out Heejun From Show, Criticize Channel For Deleting Clip

Following the show, the snippets from the show where Heejun said those comments immediately spread online, receiving raised brows from K-pop enthusiasts and netters.

Since Dive Studios is known for its goal to promote positive living, fans are frustrated about how can they overlook such distasteful remarks. What made them disappointed even more was when the channel edited the clip without any apology.

As a result, people are hoping that they will leave out Han Heejun from the succeeding episodes and focus more on the main hosts of the show which are YangYang and Ten.

In fact, fans even pointed out that they felt like the duo wasn't also happy with Heejun's words after their expression visibly changed after hearing his TMI. However, they remained professional and salvaged the show with their chemistry and hosting skills.
