1. [+131, -87] Real unemployed people would get a bit angry reading her say that

2. [+86, -11] "I lost my job"... You could interpret it as her saying she lost her job but looking at Taeyeon's situation, I think she's just saying that she lost one aspect of her job... The journalist is making Taeyeon get all the hate by translating it as losing her job;; and Taeyeon doesn't write in English to look cool, she does it to communicate with fans from all over the world on Instagram...

3. [+88, -17] She only wrote "I lost my job", it was the journalist who translated it as losing her job... I feel so bad for her, she gets hated for the most stupid things

(TN: The difference they're pointing out here is that Taeyeon wrote 'job' in English which the journalist directly translated as 'job', while netizens are interpreting it as 'work'.)

4. [+73, -13] What kind of combination is Noh Hong Chul, Minho, and Kim So Hyun

5. [+58, -2] As soon as Taeyeon starts SNS, the journalists are so busy copying and pasting all of her posts ㅋㅋㅋ How can there be an article out for every single one of her posts.

6. [+59, -4] I swear, you haters would hate on her no matter what she wrote. If she said she 'quit', you'd hate on her for lying, if she said she 'got fired', you'd hate on her for overexaggerating... in the end, it doesn't matter what word she chose because you're going to hate her either way.

7. [+49, -3] I don't get how people are interpreting this as a diss against the unemployed ㅋㅋ Taeyeon wrote that she lost her work, not her job!

8. [+80, -43] Isn't her job a singer?

9. [+71, -45] I don't think it was right of her to say that she lost her job. Non-celebrities who really lose their jobs have to worry about putting food on the table while Taeyeon still has other jobs like singing and radio DJing left... I think it'd be better for her to say that she quit working as an MC.

10. [+20, -4] Jeez, with the way netizens are going at her, you won't even be able to say you're hungry without it being interpreted as a diss against the hungry and homeless
