It seems like a case of "covering one's eyes while pretending not to see."

Transgender satirist Pungja (real name: Yoon Bo-mi), originally from the online streaming platform AfreecaTV, deleted reels containing remarks that trivialized menstrual pain amid controversy.

On the 7th, Pungja posted a reel titled "Pungja's That Day" on her personal social media along with the phrase "I don't do it."

When Pungja refers to "that day," she means menstruation.

On the 6th, while hosting a mukbang (eating show) and mirage-style content on her personal YouTube channel "Pungja Television," Pungja sparked controversy by making remarks trivializing menstrual pain after Mirae asked, "Why are you full? What's with that reaction?" She responded, "Menstrual pain, menstrual pain." At the time, upon hearing Mirae say, "I thought only cisgender women get periods; transgender people don't," Pungja spat out her makgeolli (Korean rice wine) in laughter and added, "You make one X comment and get hit back tenfold," before laughing again.

Subsequently, Pungja re-edited the scene into a short-form video and uploaded it to her personal social media. However, as controversy grew, she quietly deleted the reel. The YouTube video remains online for now.

Furthermore, Pungja has shared updates from her overseas trip with a carefree attitude, making no further comments regarding the ongoing controversy.
