"i need men to f*cking stop talking about women's bodies like that," stated a fan. "You guys genuinely disgust me - her music is fantastic and all you can talk about is her body?" added an X user. "kinda hate how Eunbi goes viral just for the wrong reason & not even her performance/music as a whole," said a netizen.

Comedian Lewis Spears responds to criticism following his alleged disrespectful comment on Kwon Eunbi

As fans and netizens continued to criticize the comedian and call him out for his comment towards Kwon Eunbin, Lewis Spears made three more X posts expressing his thoughts on the issue. He unapologetically wrote that the K-pop stans have been hypocritical by calling him disrespectful when several K-pop fans have similarly reacted to the artists in the K-pop industry.

He also further explained that he was only appreciating the beauty in the world by making the comment about Kwon Eunbi's WATERBOMB festival performances. Here's what he wrote through the three X posts:

"K-pop stans are attacking me because I am a man of culture who appreciates beauty in this world. K-pop stans will upscale a video of an idol, zoom in on her body, stabilize it on the chest, put it in slow motion, and then call me the creep. I've made K-pop Twitter so upset they're hiring a shaman to put a curse on me."

However, given that the comedian didn't apologize for his alleged disrespectful comment or take accountability for the same, the criticism from K-pop fans towards the comedian has been continuing.
