'Jjanhan-hyeong Shin Dong-yeop' is once again embroiled in controversy. This time, allegations of sexual harassment against Tomorrow X Together members Soobin and Beomgyu have sparked widespread criticism from fans.

'Jjanhan-hyeong Shin Dong-yeop' (hereinafter 'Jjanhan-hyeong'), a web variety show featuring comedian Shin Dong-yeop hosting a drinking session, recently released a preview video on its official YouTube channel featuring Tomorrow X Together members Soobin and Beomgyu as guests.

However, the video included a scene where MC Shin Dong-yeop suddenly asked Soobin, "They say your nipples are as round as my eyes, right?"

Following this, with the caption "Let's check it right away," a shocking scene unfolded where Shin Dong-yeop directly measured the distance between Soobin's nipples.

At that moment, Soobin shouted, "This is humiliating," yet this was also turned into a comedic gag, starkly revealing the production team's outdated mindset. The 'Jjanhan-hyeong' production team drew frowns for their casual approach of filling the Tomorrow X Together preview with this 'nipple' topic.

Eventually, co-MC Jeong Ho-cheol even lifted his shirt to expose his nipples. The production team added captions such as "Shock and horror" and "This is the first time I've seen variety like this" alongside Soobin and Beomgyu's surprised reactions.

This lack of awareness ultimately led to a sexual harassment controversy the moment the preview was released. One netizen shared the video and pointed out, "Did you really think people would like this?" Another netizen remarked, "Honestly, there are plenty of drinking shows on YouTube, but there must be a reason why people dislike 'Jjanhan-hyeong' specifically. It's not because of the drinking itself."

Among Tomorrow X Together fans, a 'truck protest' movement even emerged. Aware of the controversy, the 'Jjanhan-hyeong' production team quietly deleted the problematic preview video.

Although there was no official apology, this irresponsible response is not the first for 'Jjanhan-hyeong'. On February 23, the 'Jjanhan-hyeong' production team faced severe backlash for recruiting actor Lee Jae-yong and Ahn Jae-wook, who had previously caused multiple drinking-related controversies, in a video released on that date.

Shortly thereafter, Lee Jae-yong faced another allegation of drunk driving, and the 'Jjanhan-hyeong' production team could not escape criticism. As they were placed under scrutiny for encouraging and glorifying drinking, the 'Jjanhan-hyeong' side quietly deleted the videos featuring Lee Jae-yong and Ahn Jae-wook. At that time, the production team also offered no apology.
