At that time, Lim Young-woong said in a live broadcast that became controversial, "My mouth is itching. I have a lot to say, but I will hold back. I plan to make many opportunities and times to meet you all in the future." He added, "My body is itching and my heart is pounding. I will make many times to show you a good side of me."

Lim Young-woong appears to have used the word while talking about his feelings about appearing on the tvN entertainment show 'Three Meals a Day - Fishing Village', which begins filming in the middle of next month.

However, criticism of this statement has been raised, especially in the male-only community. The dictionary definition of 'dreungdreung' is 'a loud and noisy sound that keeps ringing', but it is being used as a male-hating expression meaning 'a state of being anxious' in some female-only communities.

In a community for men, one netizen wrote, "I want to tell my mother to boycott Lim Young-woong," and "She made a remark that disregarded her son's gender. I'm having a hard time figuring out what to say because it seems like the elderly don't care about gender conflict issues."

On the other hand, other netizens responded, saying, "I didn't even know this was a feminist term," and "Is it hard for young people these days? Why are they so obsessed with meaningless hatred, hating each other, and tormenting each other by assigning all sorts of meanings to a single word? It's so frustrating."

It seems that the expression "dreungdreung" was problematic.
