BTOB member Peniel recently made statements and actions that were considered to be disparaging to disabled people on a show. However, the expressions of the stars who appeared together are what caught the attention of netizens.

Recently, a member of the group BTOB made netizens angry when he made a statement that seemed to discriminate against people with disabilities. Specifically, in the program Get Real on the channel DIVE Studios, Peniel shared that "I'm not slow", then made hand gestures and imitated the breathing sounds of people with intellectual disabilities. Even more outrageous, Peniel laughed loudly in mockery and the guests also laughed along. Notably, the male idol also revealed that he used to study with Keeho (group P1HARMONY), this rookie was once involved in a scandal of racism and inappropriate behavior with women.

After the show aired, Peniel quickly faced mixed opinions. On social network X, many fans expressed their anger and indignation when Peniel not only did not sympathize with people with intellectual disabilities, but also mocked and laughed at them. "Sigh, it's DIVE and Peniel again. I don't think Peniel is a person who discriminates against people with disabilities, but we should know that some behaviors we consider normal are actually discriminatory", "These healthy people will never know the experiences and struggles of people with intellectual disabilities"... netizens were outraged.

The other idols were also criticized for laughing along with Peniel's actions. Amidst the outrage, Peniel and the other idols participating in the show remained silent.

Peinel also caused controversy in the past when he scolded anti-fans in a song. Specifically, in 2018, BTOB's youngest member SungJae was widely reported by the press to be dating JooEun (DIA). Immediately after the above information, the companies of these two idols quickly denied it. SungJae also had a surprising action of holding an empty cup to drink with the words written at the bottom "don't follow the rumors".

With his response to the baseless dating rumors above, he was praised as a smart and sophisticated guy. From this incident, netizens discovered that this was not the first time BTOB had responded so well and harshly. Previously, in the song "Ice Breaker" from the new album released last June, the rappers including MinHyuk, IlHoon and Peniel "diss" directly to the anti-fans with harsh lyrics.

The song goes: "What if I smoke, drink and hang out with other girls? It's my life, I have the right to do what I want. Jealous people always want to put others down. You know what I'm saying, otherwise you're probably just like them. Stop getting in my way, get out of my sight."

This song with the message "idols are just people" has made netizens admire and praise CUBE's boy group for being so cool. However, some people also think that the lyrics are a bit harsh, and that a more subtle way to respond to anti-fans is also fine.

Because of his straightforward personality, Peniel (BTOB) often feels pressured when working as an Idol. In 2016, Peniel (BTOB) confused netizens when he appeared in public with a bald head. The reason why fans couldn't help but worry: Peniel was so stressed that he lost his hair severely, forcing him to shave his head.

The male idol has been silently enduring the pressure since his debut due to the harshness of the idol career and the difficulties of adapting to a new culture (Peniel is from Chicago, USA). Although his health was severely affected by work, instead of giving up, Peniel chose to openly share the problem with fans and the public. His courage helped the BTOB member relieve psychological pressure, thanks to which his health condition also improved significantly.
