ALLDAY PROJECT‘s Annie has been the center of controversy since she was announced to be debuting.

Since debuting, Annie has been hit with backlash and accused of nepotism due to her status as a chaebol.

Yet, past accusations towards RIIZE‘s Anton have resurfaced amid ongoing criticism towards the female idol.

Anton’s father is the popular Korean singer Yoon Sang, and when the group first debuted, the male idol faced “nepotism” accusations, which made netizens laugh with his reaction to a comment about it.

Yet, while the post got over 4,700 likes, most netizens were defending Anton and hitting back at the use of “misogyny” in a way that doesn’t fit the narrative.

They explained that there is something very different about Anton’s “nepotism,” which comes from a father who worked his way to success in the music industry, compared to Annie’s chaebol status from her family, who controls a lot of wealth. They also added that Anton is extremely talented and has continued improving since his debut, linking to the criticism Annie has had for “lack of talent.”

mind you anton has a mildly successful father not a MULTI BILLIONAIRE LINEAGE. https://t.co/8RO7ijf3XI
