Well, singers come and go, but in between this, a few of them create a special place in the hearts of the audience. Currently, the world of K-Pop is full of new talent and is impressing society every day in every way possible. But not everyone stays in the industry after making a debut. One such singer is Baek Ji Hyun, also known as Ori, who made her debut on KBS’s “Music Bank” with her first song, “It’s snowing”. Apparently, her performance didn’t get a warm response from the audience, in fact, they titled it the “Worst Debut Stage of All-Time”.
The pattern of bullying didn’t end here. The viewers didn’t even let her name go to waste. They found ways to make fun of her name as well. The 14-year-old Ori took her name from a Japanese song, Tanaka Sori. But, the cruel audience tortured the teenager but saying that her name was named after “mos-Saeng-gin ori”, which means “ugly duckling”.
The target of Ori’s ragging increased when the news got international. People criticized her for her visuals and lack of talent. She was also judged for having connections and being the daughter of the president of a broadcasting network. The soloist was blamed for Nepotism. This led the artist to take a break and disappear. The negative comments made her leave her music dream and quit the entertainment industry altogether.
