Supporting All NSWERs | Strange Agent EP.2

The Korean context

What happened

NMIXX decide to create trendy social-media challenge clips so their encouragement can reach more NSWERs while promoting “Birthday Wish.”

More context

Why Koreans care

The plan grows out of a practical limit: the captions say they met only three people in three hours despite receiving more requests. Posting multiple short clips is proposed as a way to offer that encouragement beyond one-on-one meetings.

In the Korean comments

Several comments point to a now-absent passage around 12:40–13:03, describing a staged wildfire and parents’ deaths followed by an acting test. They object because, according to those commenters, Lily experienced a major Australian wildfire as a child; one comment also explicitly says, in translation, “Now that I look, it’s been edited.”

What the words mean

“선 씨게 넘은 겁니다” (seon ssige neomeun geomnida) literally says someone “crossed the line hard.” Here it means they seriously overstepped acceptable bounds; 씨게 (ssige, hard or intensely) makes the casual accusation especially forceful.

How could you do a skit like that with Lily there, unless you’ve completely lost your minds? Are you psychopaths? Who came up with this?

No, I didn’t know the context, so I was casually thinking, “Why are people taking this so far? Why don’t they just let it go?” But when I looked it up, I realized this really isn’t something to laugh about.. LILY, a member of the group NMIXX, has trauma related to fires because of the massive bushfire she experienced in Australia as a child. Main points • The incident: When LILY was eight years old (2009), she experienced the massive “Black Saturday” bushfire in her hometown of Victoria, Australia. • Damage and trauma: Her family’s home and her parents’ business were damaged at the time. Afterward, she suffered severe trauma and depression, including reluctance to go outside and fear of sounds such as the wind blowing. • Recovery: On the recommendation of a psychiatrist, she began healing her emotions through music and singing. This led her to delve seriously into music, eventually resulting in her appearance on “K-pop Star Season 4” and her time as a trainee at JYP Entertainment.
