1. [+455, -24] Yeah, it was barbaric of them to laugh at someone for their pronunciation... Try making them speak Korean, I doubt they'd even be able to get it right
2. [+353, -98] So how are Koreans going to excuse all the times we laughed at Ahyoomi's Korean pronunciation?
3. [+318, -40] It's hard to pinpoint what it is about people. We are obviously angry over another country mocking our own Korean like that but we also do the same thing as a gag too. Do people not remember when we tried to copy Yano Shiho's Korean pronunciation as a gag?
4. [+44, -12] I don't think it's fair to compare what happened to Junghwa to what's happening to foreign stars promoting in Korea. There's a clear difference in playing a joke by mocking someone within the boundaries of your relationship with someone you already know versus mocking someone who literally just got off a plane in a foreign country and with whom you had no prior contact with. All of the foreigners on 'Abnormal Summit', Ahyoomi, and Yano Shiho are familiar names in the industry and have either promoted in Korea or are known by Koreans so jokes against them were kept in line... TMZ does not fall under that. EXID and TMZ don't know each other at all.
5. [+37, -11] I don't think the best replies get it. If Koreans made fun of Ahyoomi in the same manner that Junghwa was made fun of, Ahyoomi would not have tolerated it on Korean variety shows. Could Ahyoomi have landed that many shows and CFs if she felt like Koreans were genuinely mocking her? The comparison doesn't work here.
6. [+34, -4] Good on EXID, no point in being sad over it. Just play it off.
