1. [+583, -21] Controversy sparks among netizens -> Journalists release articles as if they caught exclusive content -> hateful replies ensue -> Journalists write more articles calling it a witch hunt -> more hate ensues -> something goes wrong with the celebrity -> Journalists release more articles blaming netizens... The average cycle of the Korean media

2. [+570, -22] Trash journalists, you guys are the ones that start all these witch hunts

3. [+555, -81] I can understand Lee Yeon Hee. I'd be pissed too if Suzy was the lead ㅋ

4. [+443, -54] I have a bigger problem with Suzy being the lead.

Article: Lee Yeon Hee attitude controversy 'Gu Family Book' explains "This is all happening out of screencaps taken with malicious intent"

1. [+1,087, -50] Producers!! You don't have to worry about this influencing your drama with clarifications like this. We all saw the video. Don't think this is simply because of a few screencaps.

2. [+962, -54] Sorry but the video has already spread. Any normal fan could never have taken such a video with an insider look so it was obviously recorded by someone within the staff. How much of a bi*ch could she actually have been for even a fellow staff member to film something like that and think it's okay to upload it? Instead of clarifying the issue, tell her to reflect on herself.

3. [+827, -44] We already saw the video on YouTube. The screencap clarification won't work here. In the time you're excusing her with malicious screencaps, how about you teach her how to clap with her hands.

4. [+122, -4] The videos right there, no one's talking about just the screencaps anymore.

5. [+77, -2] The producers don't seem to understand that you need an actual video in order to take screencaps off of it. We all saw the video. Or are they trying to say that she clapped till her hands fell off before and after the recording? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
