Usui Yoshito's "Crayon Shin-chan" has been a national treasure in Japan since its TV anime adaptation in 1992, with new theatrical films released every year. This year, the latest movie, "Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Super Shaking! Shin-chan's Dance Party," is set to premiere in August.
But who knew a "most hated character" from "Crayon Shin-chan" would spark a viral debate among K-pop idols in Korea? This particular character has been dubbed the hilarious nickname "Betrayal Onigiri" (裏切りおにぎり) by several popular female idols. Can you guess who it is?
Recently, IVE member Jang Wonyoung posted a gacha video on her personal Instagram, trying her luck with a "Crayon Shin-chan" capsule toy.
But when she pulled "Masao," her reaction was priceless! She slumped to the floor, head down, looking utterly defeated – a moment fans instantly loved.
Turns out, Wonyoung isn't alone! K-pop queen Karina from aespa previously declared her disdain for "Masao" on the Korean variety show "Although It's a Bit Boring." She specifically called him out for "constantly betraying his friends" in the movie "Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Glorious Yakiniku Road," which apparently drove her nuts!
Even BLACKPINK's Jisoo chimed in on the same show, expressing her dislike for Masao's untrustworthy nature, noting how "he sells out his friends whenever he gets nervous." Fans totally resonated with her take!
The buzz even reached Japanese netizens, who found it hilarious: "It's too funny that K-pop goddesses all hate Masao," one commented, while another added, "I never paid attention to Masao before, but now I suddenly feel like he's super important." Another user was surprised, "Who knew Masao's bad reputation reached Korean girls too?"
So, what's your take on Masao? Is he on your "most annoying character" list too?
