“Udon Noodles For Brains,” Rising Rookie Idol Faces Backlash For Rude Comment Towards Group Member

Rising rookie group kiiikiii is the center of spotlight after a member made a rude comment about another member.

Recently, kiiikiii held a livestream to communicate with fans. During the livestream, member Haum gained backlash for her comments about a fellow member. The idols were discussing their trainee life when member Jiyu mentioned udon they used to eat a lot as trainees, Haum then turned to member Sui and said, “do you know whats inside Sui’s head? Udon noodles.”

The comment caught the members off-guard and they tried to ease the atmosphere later. When one member alluded to her probably getting scolded for that, Haum continued to say in a joking manner, “Sui is just stupid,” and this intensified controversy against the member.

Reactions are split with some fans calling for an apology from Haum towards Sui while others simply said it was banter and teasing between friends.

Kiiikiii is a rising rookie girl group that debuted in March of 2025 under IVE’s agency. They consist of five members: Jiyu, Leesol, Sui, Haum, and Kya.

Do you think Haum should apologize for this or not?
