Group MBLAQ alumnus Mir became the center of an unexpected controversy over a single term he used to refer to his mother-in-law. A natural family conversation scene was revealed, but netizens' reactions to it are divided.
On the 24th, a short video titled 'Mother-in-law with a celebrity son-in-lawㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Friend?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ' was posted on the YouTube channel 'Bangga-ne'.
In the video, Mir was shown going out with his wife and mother-in-law. Introducing his mother-in-law to the camera, he said, "Our mother-in-law. She had herbal medicine prepared for me when I was having a hard time," expressing his gratitude. The mother-in-law warmed hearts by showing affection for her son-in-law, saying, "I did it so you'd treat our daughter kindly. She has to be healthy so she can take good care of our daughter."
Then, after checking the herbal medicine price list, Mir and his wife reacted with surprise at the higher-than-expected price. When his wife said, "Our mother has no money," Mir joked, "What are you talking about. Our mother-in-law makes a lot of money," drawing laughter. Mir also described his mother-in-law, saying, "Our mother-in-law was born in '58. She learns line dance and plays the janggu. She walks the dog six hours a day," and introduced her warmly, saying, "She usually talks a lot, but she is quiet because there are many cameras. She likes me a lot."
However, after the video was published, some netizens expressed discomfort with Mir's repeated use of the term 'jangmo' (mother-in-law). Comments included, "Shouldn't he say 'jangmo-nim' instead of 'jangmo'?", "No matter how close you are, you should keep your manners," and "It would be more natural to call her 'mother'." On the other hand, other netizens said, "Families can be like that if they are comfortable with each other," "If the parties involved are fine, there's no problem," and "It could be a way of addressing her affectionately," arguing that the reactions were excessive.
A single remark in an ordinary family daily life became an unexpected topic, and opinions among netizens are sharply divided. <
