Man's double standards spark controversy ahead of Waterbomb Festival

As if proving that dating standards vary wildly from person to person, a man's contradictory attitude has become a hot topic. He was depicted maintaining a lenient stance toward physical contact or private meetings with the opposite sex, while applying strict standards to his girlfriend's social relationships.

"It's just helping" — Why he is unapologetic about close physical contact

In the video, the man cited "official purposes" and "unavoidable situations" to justify close physical contact or conversing with women while in underwear. He emphasized that he was merely responding to a request for help because someone's pants were slipping down, claiming the action was unavoidable for the sake of filming. He dismissed concerns that his behavior could be perceived as excessive intimacy by noting the woman in question was not even a close friend. When asked if his girlfriend could have understood if he had acted differently, he insisted his actions were justified, doubling down on his logic.

The reason for canceling Waterbomb Festival: "I felt spiteful after seeing her SNS story"

The most striking aspect of the man's attitude is his emotional response regarding his relationship. While his girlfriend, Ye-ri, was staying in Mongolia, he saw her joking around with a friend he usually disliked via an SNS story. At that moment, his suppressed emotions boiled over, leading him to cancel their reserved Waterbomb Festival plans. He confessed that he didn't cancel simply because he was in a bad mood, but because he felt a sense of "spite" after seeing his girlfriend's actions. This demonstrates how his displeasure with her behavior directly triggered his own retaliatory actions.

Ultimately, the man's logic shows that his behavioral principles shift fluidly depending on "what the other person did to him." While he maintains a controlling attitude toward his girlfriend's social circle, he attempts to justify his own impulsive actions as mere emotional responses. The cast members could not hide their bewilderment at his double standards, raising questions about the sustainability of the relationship.
