After singer Shim Soo-bong became embroiled in controversy over a "public attack" against junior singer Kim Da-hyun, claims emerged that she had previously scolded another performer at a past broadcast recording site.

Recently, a review posted on an online community about attending the first episode of JTBC's 'Hidden Singer 8' recording last March as an audience member drew attention.

The poster, identified as A, claimed that during the recording, Shim Soo-bong publicly scolded or lectured fellow singers appearing alongside her, creating an awkward atmosphere on site. The poster further stated that Shim also displayed mocking behavior toward ordinary people participants, leaving them unable to hide their discomfort.

Additionally, it was reported that Shim Soo-bong spent a long time recounting her life story and repeatedly made admonishing remarks directed at the cast, causing significant embarrassment among the audience members present.

Earlier, Shim Soo-bong drew attention for making remarks bordering on disparagement toward Kim Da-hyun, who appeared on stage at the 'Jinan Highland Trot Festival' held on the 20th in the northern area of Misang Mountain, Jinan County, Jeollabuk-do. At that time, Shim pointed out about Kim Da-hyun: "The woman singing in front," adding, "She made my head spin. It seems like a young lady who doesn't know what singing is or what life is. Listening to her song was too painful."

She continued, "Please don't send the next performer forward. I'm completely disoriented and feel like I might collapse. Singing is not something to be taken lightly," and added, "Music that comforts people after experiencing life's hardships and struggles is not easy."

However, as the controversy intensified, Shim Soo-bong issued an official statement: "On the 20th, I made a slip of the tongue on a trot festival stage in a local area watched by many. It is true that I had been worried about pop music for some time, and on the day of the event, I was indeed under great stress due to noise at the venue."

Shim Soo-bong further stated, "However, at a trot festival where everyone should be laughing and enjoying themselves, I spoke words that were inappropriate and beyond common sense at an unsuitable moment. Even with ten mouths, I have no excuse." She then added, "Most importantly, I did not know exactly who the singer in the preceding slot was, and I absolutely did not intend to humiliate a specific person. Nevertheless, as an elder, it is clearly wrong that I said something that hurt the heart of a junior singer."

Following the incident involving Kim Da-hyun, Shim Soo-bong's past actions, including remarks bordering on abusive language such as telling junior singer Jung Mi-ae at another performance, "Is that person also a singer?" and advising against placing singers with loud voices in the slot before her, are being re-examined.
