[Pann] EXO member said the word 'retard'?

Pann: EXO Kai putting down the mentally disabled controversy

"EXO Chanyeol put up a video of Sehun and DO on his Instagram and immediately took it back down because there's someone in the back who can be heard saying, 'Are you a retard?'

This soundcloud link is the part in question with the volume raised. It sounds exactly like 'Are you a retard?' and the reason Chanyeol deleted it just 10 seconds after uploading it is probably because of that. The voice is Kai's voice."

1. [+305, -95] It's not like they were on broadcast, they were just at home fooling around so it's laughable that people are making a fuss over something barely heard in a video. In the original, you can barely hear it and you don't even know if that's exactly what he said. What is even the point of putting back up a video that was deleted?

2. [+271, -56] I'm not a Shawol... ㅋㅋㅋ just a non-fan but I kept listening to the part in question and it doesn't sound like retard.. I can't hear the 'j' in 'jang ae in'.

3. [+168, -25] Where's the proof that this is Kai's voice? Don't put this on Kai without proof. And if the word 'retard' was said, the word should start with the 'j' sound but I don't hear it.

4. [+117, -5] I listened to it on max volume and all I hear is 'Are you glasses?' I think the video was deleted because he knew a controversy like this would happen and of course, it's happening.

5. [+115, -5] According to all of your logic, celebrities should be gentlemen who never utter a bad word in their life. First of all, you don't even know which member exactly said it and it's just a bunch of guys at home playing games and swearing around.

6. [+114, -5] I think he said 'Are you Iron?' It's the most accurate assumption right now. The video was of a Samsung gear experience and the members were taking turns experiencing Iron Man, Thorr, and the Hulk. I think it sounds like 'Are you Iron?' because the first word doesn't start with the 'j' sound if it's the word retard.

7. [+98, -16] Honestly, it does sound like he said retard and he's only getting hate because he's a celebrity. People use this word regularly (I know it's bad) and kids at school say it all the time with their friends. People forget how frequently it comes up in every day speech and hate on a star for saying it. I'm not saying he's not in the wrong but it's hypocritical for us to be hating on him. Everyone talks as if no one in Korea normally swears.

8. [+94, -4] But anyone hating on him for supposedly saying the word retard... have you all really never said that word while messing around with your friends? I bet everyone has. People act like such high and mighty people online.

9. [+88, -58] It honestly sounds like.. 'Are you a retard?'.. anyone shielding it sounds dumb.

10. [+87, -2] Whether it's 'Are you glasses?' or 'Are you Iron?', it's not a word that starts with the 'j' sound ㅋㅋㅋ No matter how many times I listen to it, I just don't hear 'jang ae in' (retard)

11. [+71, -0] Honestly, if they said this on broadcast, of course they'd deserve the hate.. but they were in a private area just messing around with themselves and I don't think it's fair to cause a controversy over that. I highly doubt there's an idol who hasn't ever uttered a swear in their life.

12. [+62, -19] I'm a non-fan passing by and I remember an old post where fans defended a member who swore at an Ivy filming and now I'm curious how they'll deal with this. It honestly sounds like he's saying 'Are you a retard?' and after even more reptition, I also think he said, 'Are you a blind person?' which is still disrespectful. 'Retard' or 'Blind person', I just wonder how fans are going to clarify this.

13. [+49, -1] To all of you so sure that it's Kai's voice, how about you bring proof that it is? Don't start rumors that it's him without bringing the proof.

14. [+42, -7] You can hear the word retard being thrown around in any classroom, why all this fuss just because a star said it?

15. [+35, -1] It doesn't sound like Chanyeol's voice. The person holding the camera is Chanyeol but the voice is heard further away. And Chanyeol's voice is way deeper than that.
