Seo In-young Addresses 9-Year-Old Feud with Brown Eyed Girls' Gain
An old story resurfaces.
Singer Seo In-young has finally addressed the rumors of a feud with Gain of Brown Eyed Girls, which have persisted for nearly nine years.
Recently, while communicating with fans on a live SNS broadcast, a question about Gain arose, drawing significant attention.
Seo In-young stated, "Gain and I are close. I think I was too hasty and didn't act like a good senior back then, and I also had some hurt feelings."
She added, "We resolved things well, and Gain and I are close. Let's not create any more issues," dismissing the feud rumors.
When fans inquired further about the past situation, she responded, "There was nothing. There was nothing between Gain and me," but also left a meaningful remark, "I'll reveal everything on YouTube. Let's keep it light here."
The Feud's Origin: 'Radio Star' in 2016
Going back to 2016, the conflict between the two surfaced on MBC's 'Radio Star'.
At the time, Gain said on the show, "In the early days of our debut, In-young unnie must have found Narsha unnie cute. So, In-young unnie said things like, 'She's so cute'."
Seo In-young explained, "(Narsha) greeted me so demurely and looked so cute that I thought she was younger than me."
However, Gain expressed her feelings, "I thought, since (Narsha) is my team's unnie, and In-young unnie is younger than Narsha unnie, when she said to Narsha unnie, 'She's so cute,' I was initially annoyed."
'Annoyed?' Seo In-young's Reaction Amplified the Impact
The problem was Seo In-young's subsequent reaction.
She retorted, "You were annoyed? You? Keep going. What happened because you were annoyed?" sparking a controversy over her attitude. Immediately after the broadcast, viewers' reactions were intense.
The scene, where the atmosphere became subtly awkward, was broadcast as is, and the clip continues to be talked about to this day.
Viewers analyzed the situation as stemming from misunderstandings and differences in how seniors and juniors express their feelings.
Emotional Conflict Extends to SNS
After the broadcast, Seo In-young expressed her displeasure towards Gain on SNS, further fueling the controversy.
She retorted, "I don't think it was right to use the expression 'annoyed' while having the person sit right next to you. Especially not on a broadcast, rather than in a personal setting."
She added, "I don't understand why she's bringing up something that was resolved with me years later."
She also revealed her discomfort, saying, "Gain was so different before and after going into the recording that I couldn't quite adapt to her style."
A Mature Reconciliation Mood After 9 Years
Time has passed, and nine years later, in 2025, Seo In-young reflected on her past attitude, stating that she "didn't act like a good senior."
This is seen as an acknowledgment of responsibility for the conflict, and fans are reacting positively.
There is also growing interest in the possibility of the two reuniting in a YouTube content, naturally.
Although emotions created misunderstandings, time has made the two more mature.
