1. What caused the Park Jaebeom controversy?

 

On October 15, 2025, singer Park Jae-bum took the stage at the breast cancer awareness event "Love Your W 2025," sponsored by fashion magazine W Korea, held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Seoul.

However, the song he performed, "MOMMAE," led to a flood of criticism online the next day.

 

 

 

 

2. The controversial lyrics of "MOMMAE"

 

"MOMMAE" is a song that sexually celebrates women's bodies and styles.

There were many complaints that the song's signature phrase, "Body, body, body line," was an inappropriate choice for an event focused on breast cancer.

The fact that she sang this song at an event that was supposed to encourage women battling illness became the spark that sparked the controversy.

 

 

 

 

3. Details of the W Korea event

 

Many celebrities participated in the event, including BTS's V and J-HOPE, as well as aespa, IVE, ILLIT, (G)I-DLE, actors Jung Hae-in, Lee Min-ho, Ha Jung-woo, and Lee Young-ae.

The event was held in a glamorous party format, and W Korea's official Instagram initially posted, "Park Jae-bum's performance was amazing." However, as criticism spread, the post was deleted in just 20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

4. Online Reactions and Criticism

 

The main criticism was that the video "does not fit the purpose of the event" and "lacks consideration for breast cancer patients."

 

"Body line in front of a breast cancer patient?"

"Drinking alcohol and flashy performances are inappropriate."

There were a lot of comments like this.

 

On the other hand, there are also voices defending the actor, saying that it is wrong to criticize the goodwill shown in his performance without payment, and opinions are split down the middle.

 

 

 

 

5. Park Jae-bum's apology

The following day, on the 16th, Park Jae-bum apologized on his social media account:

 

"After the regular campaign ended, I performed as usual with a good feeling for the people who came.
I apologize if any cancer patients felt uncomfortable. I pray for everyone's health."

 

He also said, "I hope people will not misuse actions that were done with good intentions," and explained that the word "악용 (misuse)" had caused misunderstandings.

 

"This refers to the fact that some people are using this incident as a joke and causing a commotion. Please do not misunderstand."

 

 

 

 

6. Divided opinion among fans and the public

👤 Fan: "He performed for free and even took the stage while injured. The criticism is excessive."

👤Public opinion: "Even if the intention behind the act was good, the decision on the song selection was reckless."

 

As such, debate continues on social media over the balance between "goodwill" and "appropriateness of the occasion."
Behind the backdrop of the controversy lies the intertwining themes of "artists' freedom of expression" and "social responsibility."

 

 

 

 

7. Summary: Why a well-intentioned action turned into a "flame war"

Park Jae-beom's actions were a performance of goodwill on his part.
However, the fact that the song selection did not take into consideration the purpose of the event or the feelings of the participants ultimately led to ``misunderstandings and outrage.''

 

 

In a social media society, "impressions" spread before "intentions," so cases like this one are also being seen as an example of "risk management" for future celebrity events.
