Netizens have jumped to his defence.
Koreaboo
A recent music show interaction between CORTIS Keonho and izna‘s Bang Jeemin has sparked a heated controversy online.
Keonho is allegedly 178 cm or 5’10” based on his online profile information. This would be taller than Bang Jeemin, who is allegedly 172 cm.
However, when standing next to the izna star, netizens noticed that Keonho appeared much shorter. The difference sparked a scathing viral post.

— Viral post on Pann
The post quickly went viral on Pann, with many chiming in on whether Keonho’s height measures up. In the comments, many netizens defended the CORTIS star, noting that Bang Jeemin is wearing heels and that he could be standing further back.
- “He could just be standing further back or something, people make everything a height controversy lol. He’s young and performs well, that’s enough.”
- “The girl group members are tall but they’re also wearing heels.”
- “Bangjimin is tall, but he’s also wearing heeled shoes and standing further forward than Keonho, so he naturally looks even taller.”
- “LOL”
- “He’s probably taller than this guy tbh.”
Nothing’s confirmed, but the debate isn’t dying down anytime soon.
