Actress Song Ji Hyo has been part of the Running Man family for the past 11 years, as she proves her variety program abilities to both Korean and international fans. She has quickly become one of the show’s iconic characters, with her mong (dazed) expression solidifying itself as a weekly necessity.

Despite her hard work and endearing antics every week, Song Ji Hyo has received hate comments during her 11 year variety show career, which comes with the territory of being a celebrity. However, it was a recent malicious comment and SBS‘s YouTube channel’s response that has started to belatedly make headlines.

A netizen left a hate-filled comment under one of SBS’s YouTube videos, sharing their thoughts on Song Ji Hyo’s “boring” presense.

And while SBS’s response was originally praised, it didn’t take long before netizens realized something unusual about the malicious comment. Upon further investigation, it was revealed that SBS’s YouTube channel had pinned the hate comment—allowing it to be seen by all of the other viewers, rather than letting it get hidden in the sea of other comments.

  • “On a public broadcast? I don’t think they pinned it with good intentions but rather, they’re egging it on.”
  • “Regardless of what their intentions may be, I don’t understand why a public broadcast’s YouTube channel would pin such a comment..? They’re crazy.”
  • “Is this the best they can do…I don’t think it was the best move;;”
