#* variety

Spiced’s maknae line were the featuring guests on Hello Counselor this week along. The panel touched on various topics during the shows, all of which involved women in relationships. At the time of it’s announcement, there were mixed reviews about how the show might go. It’s no secret that Spiced’s leader and maknae are the two most vocal and opinionated in the group (as well as among all female idols), and many were worried that with the two of them together it would be hard for people--mainly the men--would hate to be honest because of backlash they might receive from the two of them. Despite, preconceived notions about how the two of them might act, the pair remained relatively calm and open while both listening and speaking about the issues brought up. 

Gemi did, however, had to excuse herself for a moment during a touchy moment, she came back minutes later ready and willing to listen and answer. She tackled the mental abuse that many men subjugate their partners to, both knowingly and unknowingly. While Harlowe, on the other hand, spoke about ways for women to go about leaving a relationship that puts them down. Both members gave tips on self-love, self-assurance, and self-care and the importance of removing toxicity from ones life. 

AUTHOR’S NOTE: This was the first time Gemi appeared on Hello Counselor since her outburst on the show back in 2014. Polls conducted from the time that episode aired to polls conducted after this episode of Hello Counselor, has showed that people don’t view the singer as aggressive as they formerly did. Maknae and rapper Harlowe’s ratings with fans has also improved since their Hello Counselor episode aired a few days ago, and is now seen as easier to relate to than she has in recent years.

This was one of the most watched Hello Counselor episode’s to date.  Hopefully we’ll be seeing the maknae line on more variety together in the near future.

NETIZEN BUZZ!

They did Gemi sooooo wrong with that episode! She was the only woman on the panel that episode, and all the men just tried to run over her! She did right by speaking her mind!!! You could tell they did that evil editing to see her make her look like she was the bad guy! Smh!! 

THEY’RE SO PERFECT!!! STAN THE MAKNAE LINE 

This was one of my favorite episodes. I really needed to hear these things...Thank you, unnis.

I really like this side of Harlowe. So open. So kind. I wish she would do variety more ;;;
