Recently, the girls held a 2024 LE SSERAFIM company workshop via live broadcast for Chuseok. In one moment, Yunjin made comments about Chaewon‘s iconic bob. Netizens raised their eyebrows when Yunjin referred to Chaewon’s hairstyle as “c*nty bob,” which provoked Chaewon to ask what it meant. Yunjin promised to explain later.

The clip went viral with 1.2M and 1.4M views on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok at the time of writing. Netizens were shocked to hear the members used the word “c*nty.” They wondered how Yunjin would explain it to Chaewon.

Originally, “c*unty” was a slang misogynistic insult. Yet, recently, it’s been reclaimed, and it’s used basically similarly to describing someone as a “bad b*tch.” According to Rolling Stone, “A new generation has been reclaiming ‘c*nt’ online, eliminating its misogynistic meaning and positioning it as something aspirational.”

Yunjin was quoting a new meme specifically during the live broadcast. On September 11, The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards (also known as the VMAs) was held. LE SSERAFIM performed their hits “Crazy” and “1-800-hot-n-fun” at the 2024 VMAs Pre-Show. Drag queens Plasma, Amanda Tori Meating, and Dawn served as correspondents during the event, and upon seeing Chaewon, they reacted to her bob with “this c*nty bob,” which went viral.
