CLASSy Member Kim Seon You Draws Flak for Doing Controversial Hand Gesture
On an online community forum, one article titled “Rookie girl group CLASSy’s hand gestures” was posted and had been garnering attention.
CLASSy is the project girl group formed through MBC’s survival competition program, “My Teenage Girl,” and consists of members of seven members: Won Ji Min, Kim Seon You, Myung Hyung Seo, Hong Hye Ju, Kim Ri Won, Park Bo Eun, and Yoon Chae Won.

CLASSy at ‘M! Countdown’
In the post, a netizen shared a group picture taken by CLASSy, as the group can be seen relaxing in the waiting room for Mnet’s music show, “M! Countdown.”
While the selfie picture of the seven members seemed normal as they pose, netizens, however, zeroed in on Kim Seon You and the hand gesture she made as a pose.
In the picture, Kim Seon You can be seen using her thumb and index finger to form a hand gesture which usually means “small” or “little.”

However, this hand gesture was not taken lightly by male netizens, as the gesture was reportedly used by radical feminists to belittle the size of Korean men’s genitals.
This hand gesture was made controversial several times in the past as it was used in advertisements by many companies.
However, many have also come to Kim Seon You’s defense, stating that the picture was taken while the idol was in the middle of making a finger heart, which may also explain why she had a finger heart pose in other group pictures while in the same position.
