For South Korean female singer Lee Yiyi mentioned that B.I. Kim Han-bin, a former member of the boy band iKON who was sentenced for drug use, netizens launched a fierce offensive and defensive war.
According to South Korean media reports: "Rice Cake Girl" Lee Released her third regular album "4 ONLY" at 6 p.m. on the 9th, and appeared as a guest in NAVER Now at 9 p.m. on the same day. Korean entertainment did not know that in the program of the day, Li Xiaoyi introduced the new album and mentioned B.I. who participated in the inclusion of the song "The Savior" as a singer, expressing his gratitude to him.
Li Said, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank the B.I. who promoted me. In the interview, he said that I am a friend with righteousness, and he is also a very righteous person. Han Bin, thanks to you, there is such a good MV, thank you. ”
However, netizens who watched the show showed a "skeptical" attitude towards Li's speech. Recently, B.I. was tried on suspicion of purchasing and using drugs and was asked to go to prison for 3 years. Han Entertainment did not know that B.I had purchased and smoked drugs in 2016, and was exposed in 2019, and after more than a year of investigation, it was finally tried in September 2021, and the prosecutor asked the court for 3 years.
After B.I's drug trafficking and drug abuse suspicions were exposed, he withdrew from iKON, and YG Entertainment announced that it would terminate its exclusive contract. Last September, B.I participated in the Epik High album campaign, and this year B.I also released a solo album.
For Li Xiaoyi's mention of B.I in the show, netizens also disgustedly said that "there is no eye color" and "mentioning criminals on variety shows, is it appropriate?" "If you are a good friend, you will be good to him in private, a person who sells drugs and drugs, or don't appear in front of the public", "Because of drugs, you are judged, but you seem to have a very relaxed life", "Drugs are not trivial"...
However, there are also people who express support: "Of course, friends are like this, and if there is difficulty, they will take care of each other, don't they", "Please simply look at it with gratitude, don't be so dark inside", "People have a good relationship, can't mention it?" "Friends are what they should be, aren't they?" "So, does my sister also think that B.I is innocent?" Really too kind"...
At present, the "debate" is still continuing, what do you think of Li Xiaoyi's statement? Do you also think that the B.I drug abuse case is an "unjust case" as some fans have said?
