Staff that have worked with Wonyoung say all the time how polite, professional and kind she is. Idk how Irene’s reputation was before the blow out with the makeup artist but didn’t she have a reputation for being a bit cold?

No there's no such reputation. She's just a shy and reserved girl and barely talk on shows. She has never pursued a sweet, cheerful, lively kinda image so people said she's cold?

Kazuha being most popular in Korea despite being Japanese is such a slay:clap3:

 

She looks just like Suzy so we ain't surprised. And she actually looks Korean, unlike Sakura :skull:

Sis is not that deep, here as the girls on those koreans forums like Pann hate on everyone as daily basis. 

Both Wonyoung and Sakura are extremely popular and doing well, while Wonyoung is Korea's favorite girl, Sakura is more loved internarionally, both have WON already!

That Wongyoung obsessed hater who just wrote paragraphs hating on her just proved my point. It's not a joke to them, they are dead serious about judging a young girl's character based on their biased hateful observation. Calling her a "spoiled brat" with no real proofs,saying there's no way she would grow up not become "toxic" and "entitled", bashing her for keeping a perfect image while they microanalyze her actions to find every little imperfection in her attitude. Like they don't even realize that they are the reason why most female idols have to endure extreme pressure to keep a good girl image. :toofunny3:

True the suzy resemblance does help but its still kinda a feat considering its rare for a non korean to be most popular in a group in Korea

 

the only other case I can think of is Tzuyu (at debut)

FEARLESS is kinda good when paired with a performance. I wouldn't really listen to it otherwise.

 

And yes Kazuha is quite captivating.

Ofc we would respond. Why would you “jump onto” those posts unprompted though? She IS pretty and she IS an it girl. That’s not a speculation as opposed to your comments about getting “bad vibes” from her.

Ok. And is it also not a fact that she isn't exactly in the best situation to grow into an emotionally secure/balanced/stable adult.........? I mean if you disagree then yeah im just hating on her because she's an it girl we can leave it at that :michael:

When you all delve into the personal lives of celebrities, especially young females, and project your own insecurities and feelings on them, it’s incredibly weird. What possesses some of you girls to be this ******* weird and misogynistic on the Internet? 
 

OT: Anyone have any insight on where I should order my three Hyoyeon albums from? Everywhere is so expensive.

I feel like a lot of us have dragged many idols in the past and I feel like it's fair game to drag the music or the talent/skill and people will disagree but dragging the looks of someone is very iffy cuz it's not like they can change it without a procedure and that can really mess someone up especially if they're minors or new to the industry. It does seem like we live in a bubble but there have been cases were someone sent a comment from ATRL to a youtuber and she cried on a video and turns out she had a disease.

It’s not uncommon! Are we forgetting Miss Sana? 
 

Kazuha might be her successor! Her shy shy shy moment is coming :duca:

So we are going to pretend child stars growing up into troubled adults is not a common pattern in celebrities? And apparently quoting her on doing a bunch of extracurriculars as a kid is "delving into her personal life"? And now I'm also a misogynist, even though literally one of the first comments I ever made abt her during izone's debut was how uncomfortable I was with how they were using her as pedobait. But sure go off.

and neither do most of the young idols in this industry. It sucks and it is evil.

But looks like you clearly have it against her specifically :rip: 

So Ren is a solo singer now and in the same company than VIVIZ, Soyou, Lee Mujin etc...

I only spoke abt it because she was on topic and she's like... The most extreme case that I know off. Sure we've had children debuting since long ago, like taemin or seohyun, but neither of them were made to be centre of their groups, or so fawned over for their appearances. :rip:

Sana isn’t most popular in Korea though:giraffe:

Miss Nayeon is

It has always been fluctuating between Tzuyu, Nayeon and Sana imo. 
 

 

This is actually very cool that they’re performing at a baseball game, it looks like kpop is finally returning back to it’s pre-pandemic days and I’m so happy

Well she is the center of the group because she deserves to be one and her popularity and charm warrants her that position. That doesn’t mean you can go in on her like it’s her fault.

Clearly it wasn't her fault that what happened did happen, and the haters aren't making anything better, but if you're just asking why she in particular is so hated, then there's your reason I guess. :coffee2:

So what exactly are we arguing about here......? Whether "I think she's probably spoilt and entitled because of the environment that she grew up in" is hating and going in on her???? 

Edited by Shou7

There is a difference between criticizing the toxic industry that normalizes child labor and sexualization of young children and targeting ONE specific girl in particular by framing hateful narratives around her, calling her all sorts of names and making hasty judgement on how she will turn out in the future. It's unsettling and borderline creepy; it's almost like you want her to turn out a bad ***** so that your disliking of her is justified. Blame the system, not the young girls who are just trying their best to pursue their dreams. Also, so far at least in kpop there is no correlation between their debut age and attitude problem. Idols debuting at young age like Seohyun, Taemin, Minzy, Sohee, Jiyoung, Jisung...are all known to be nice ones and haven't had any Irene moment while Irene herself debuted quite late compared to her contemporaries.

 

And logical fallacy. If you say that someone is problematic, the burden of proof is on you. Saying that there's no proof she's toxic behind the scene but there's no proof that she isn't toxic either to make it seem like both statements having the same validity is serving religious nuts' logic of God's existence.
