Article: Still cuts of Song Hye Gyo playing a blind woman revealed... epitome of innocent beauty
Source: Newsen via Nate
It's not reflected in the best reply but there were a lot of comments about how the high heels are distracting and how she's "too dressed up" for someone who's blind... "How can a blind person wear high heels" and "Her outfit isn't realistic".
1. [+518, -46] She matched Hyun Bin so well ㅜㅜ So upset that they broke up! I'm sure anyone that watched 'The World They Live In' would agree!
2. [+314, -16] Wow pretty
3. [+290, -32] For everyone criticizing about the high heels, read the article for once. It says that the blind are able to live a normal lifestyle.

Article: What can we learn of the misunderstandings and the truths about the blind as seen through Song Hye Gyo's high heels controversy?
Source: TV Daily via Nate
The article sheds some light on how the blind live and explain that, although it depends on certain situations, the blind are just as interested in fashion and hairstyles and the like. Those that lost their sight at a later time in their life still tend to wear high heels because they're used to the feeling of them.
1. [+235, -10] If we're going to argue about dramas being realistic, then what about the women wearing eyeliner in historical dramas?
2. [+182, -8] Thinking that a blind person doesn't care about fashion just because they're blind is a misinformed stereotype. I saw a documentary about two disabled women going on a vacation and they dressed nicely with better make up than me...
3. [+191, -40] We're not criticizing the high heels because we don't think the blind don't have a right to be fashionable, we just think it's dangerous so we're worried.
4. [+24, -5] The heels weren't even that high;;; Is there some kind of separate dress code that the blind need to adhere to?? ㅋㅋ
5. [+22, -4] The reason people are so used to seeing the blind dress poorly is because of economic reasons. They have a difficult time finding jobs so of course they will prioritize other aspects of their life over fashion. Song Hye Gyo's character is an heiress of a conglomerate. She's extremely rich so she obviously has her own stylist, etc...

ugh can't even with netizens lol seriously, blind people can't wear heels and nice clothes now? :\
ReplyDeleteThe hell?
ReplyDeletewhy is this even an issue?! -_-
ReplyDeleteBecause it knetizens that we are talking about.
Deleteafter all bez it is Song hye Gyo . i believe if it is any idol , they will shit abt it
ReplyDeleteSo because someone's blind they have to dress plainly?
ReplyDeletenetizens...
ReplyDeletethey can be super funny but sometimes they are extremely annoying and ridiculous.
dont care she looks extremely beautiful damn her LOL i really envy her
ReplyDelete>"too dressed up" for someone who's blind.
ReplyDeleteSure are some ignorant people in the world.
aigoo how ignorant.
ReplyDeletelol.....
ReplyDeleteCan Knetizens STOP thinking that what they watch in TV is reality? Seriously, it's all ENTERTAINMENT.
ReplyDelete4. [+24, -5] The heels weren't even that high;;; Is there some kind of separate dress code that the blind need to adhere to?? ㅋㅋ
ReplyDelete...I thought the heels looked kind of tall.... ._.
ngl it would seem kind of inconvenient...
ReplyDeletebut this is a tv drama.
smh at this being an issu
ReplyDeleteSong Hye Gyo is so beautiful *_* she also doesn't seem to age...
Dress nicely is fine but high heels? Hmm.. it does seem very dangerous.
ReplyDeletebtw, Song Hye Kyo is gorgeous.
It looks unrealistic bec ppl think heels not match to a blind-person safety. Pls open your mind. It's not bec the dress or make up, it's about HEELS !!! Even a pregnant woman rarely use heels. It is not safety, that why it's unrealistic!
ReplyDeletekorea really seems like an interesting place to live. i mean really netizens are hella funny.... everything is a controversy. lol
ReplyDelete4. [+24, -5] The heels weren't even that high;;
ReplyDeleteLOL,If I wear that heels,I'll be falling damn hard as soon as I take my first step.I'm glad that netizens understand the situation.
I feel like K-netizens may have too much time on their hands.
ReplyDelete"How can a blind person wear high heels" I facepalmed when I read that.
ReplyDeleteSong Hye Kyo is so pretty! I´m a girl and I´m totally envious of her~ She and HyunBin was really the perfect couple, but too bad they broke up "/
ReplyDeletepardon me for asking but can they? heck I can barely walk short distances on high heels without tripping and I have 20/20. it's neat if they can though.
ReplyDelete"If we're going to argue about dramas being realistic, then what about the women wearing eyeliner in historical dramas?"
ReplyDeleteEgyptians wore eyeliner so it's not that far-stretched.
People who are blind tend to have a greater sense of their other senses such as touch, smell, hearing, etc. So it's possible :)
ReplyDelete[+518, -46] She matched Hyun Bin so well ㅜㅜ So upset that they broke up! I'm sure anyone that watched 'The World They Live In' would agree!
ReplyDeleteYES I AGREE. THEY LOOKED SO GOOD FOR EACH OTHER.
I think the Korean netizens are talking about Korean historical dramas aka sageuks. Korea's make-up history is probably vastly different from the Egyptians.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that Koreans prefer Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo together but i-fans always gush over Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won.
ReplyDeleteThey talk like blind people are another species. Their human too but the only difference is they have no sight, which they make up for in other senses.
ReplyDeletetrue. i thought they were referring more to makeup being a modern concept. but i guess the question is if korean people wore it even if it existed and was probably available from trade at that time. //nod
ReplyDeleteMaybe because Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo had an actual relationship and Secret Garden was just a a drama.
ReplyDeleteSHG.. You are the best. Just waiting 4 you drama. I hope it to be Daebak!!!
ReplyDeleteeverything is an issue to knetizens. -_-
ReplyDelete1. [+518, -46] She matched Hyun Bin so well ㅜㅜ So upset that they broke up! I'm sure anyone that watched 'The World They Live In' would agree!
ReplyDeleteme watched that drama and not agree. i don't know how she is in real life but her character there is damn annoying it turned me off
So they aren't any different from American nerizens, have you seen ontd?
ReplyDeletewhat's ontd?

ReplyDeleteIt is honestly best to never get involved in that community, but...ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com
