Kim Hyun-ji, an MBC Gyeongnam PD who claimed that Liesnne member Wony's phrase "Museopno" was an 'Ilbe expression', has faced backlash.

On the 6th, an online community pointed out that numerous subtitles ending with '~No' were found in MBC Gyeongnam programs directed by Kim Hyun-ji from 2004 to 2010, titled "Yap! Vitality Heaven."

The program featured production teams visiting rural villages in Gyeongnam Province and communicating with elderly residents. In the subtitles, sentences ending with '~No', such as "Eoditno" (Where are you?) and "Mworahano" (What did you say?), continuously appeared, mimicking the speech patterns of local elders.

Netizens who discovered this expressed confusion, noting that since PD Kim should have been well-versed in Yeongnam dialects, it was hard to understand her concluding that Wony's use of the dialect phrase "Museopno" was a mocking expression from the far-right site 'Ilbe'.

Wony is originally from Geoje, Gyeongnam Province, and has consistently showcased content utilizing local dialects. However, on the 1st, Kim Hyun-ji pointed out via social media that the phrase "Museopno" used by Wony and her production team in YouTube content was an 'Ilbe-style hate expression'.

Following this, Cho Rebuilding Korea Party Jeon (CEO), comedian Kim Si-deok from Gyeongsang Province, and others explained about dialects, sparking a debate over Wony's regional speech patterns.

A user named 'Citizen' also posted on the National Institute of Korean Language's online Q&A board with a post titled "Inquiry into the meaning interpretation and actual usage scope of the '-No' sentence-ending particle."
