Teddy’s Co-Ed Idol Group Compared to “The Glory” Bullies in Viral theqoo Post: Netizens’ Reactions
A post on the popular Korean forum theqoo, titled “New Co-ed Group with Shinsegae Heiress Feels Like Yeonjin’s Crew from ‘The Glory'”, has garnered over 78,000 views, drawing attention for its unexpected yet humorous comparison.
The post features a screenshot from X (formerly Twitter), where users commented on the striking visual aura of the newly debuted ALLDAY Project idol group—reportedly including a member linked to the Shinsegae conglomerate. One of the male members was said to resemble Son Myung-oh, the sinister character from The Glory, leading some to liken the group’s vibe to the infamous Yeonjin Fam, the show’s notorious bully clique.
“But because one of the male members has such strong Son Myung-oh vibe, the whole thing feels more like Glory Yeonjin Fam.”
“It’s so funny because the image combo is so similar.”
“It feels like a whole different world of people who pay comprehensive income tax. One I wouldn’t understand as someone who just pays employment income tax.”

The original poster clarified, “I’m not saying they were school bullies!! Just saying the image combo gives that vibe LOL.”
Following the viral theqoo post, netizens flooded the comment section with mixed reactions. While some found the comparison humorous, others criticized it as unfair and damaging. Here’s how Korean commenters responded on theqoo:
- “That’s such a bad image… What? Why? It’s funny—just laugh. You know that ‘just laugh’ attitude is exactly what makes it feel like the Yeonjin clique.”
- “People are seriously mean. I’ve never seen anyone joke like this about an actual school bullying group.”
- “I can’t even take this as a joke—it’s just not funny. What kind of weird ‘aesthetic’ is this supposed to be?”
- “Dragging the rest of the members into this and then brushing it off with ‘it’s just a joke’—that’s what really feels like the Yeonjin crew. LOL.”
- “They haven’t even officially debuted yet, and people are already forcing this kind of narrative on them?”
- “If you actually had any affection for this group, you wouldn’t make a comparison like this in the first place.”
Despite the lighthearted tone, the post has sparked debate online, with netizens split between laughter over the meme-like comparison and discomfort at the association with a K-drama built around school violence. Nonetheless, the buzz continues to build around this enigmatic co-ed group—both for their talent and the intriguing image they project.
