On August 19th, a past photo of Younite's Hyunseung resurfaced involving TWICE's Chaeyoung, igniting the fury of fans and non-fans due to its sexually suggestive angle and the caption "Kimochi."
The word "Kimochi" basically means feeling happiness, comfort or pleasure. However, it has become highly associated with the Japanese adult industry.
As the photo sparked outrage, fans demand for Hyunseung to leave Younite and for him to apologize to TWICE's Chaeyoung. The hashtag #KICK_OUT_HYUNSEUNG has trended worldwide.

he's under company "Brand new music" this ain't something to take lightly, CY was a minor in this picture and the text he included translates to Kimochi a term mainly used by men in Japanese in p*rnographic films. he's a nasty man and I hope his company take matters into hands https://t.co/QVw0ZGG8HB
