1. [+501] Why would you consider this an act of feminism? She's not doing this for feminist reasons. Her parents are divorced and she lives with her mother. Instead of keeping a last name from a father who has nothing to do with her, doesn't it make more sense to take her mother's last name instead? It's just a choice for her, why hate on her by accusing her of being a feminist?

2. [+417] Are people seriously accusing her of being a feminist just for taking her mother's last name..? You are the same people who get angry when parents try to come after the insurance money of dead children they never raised, so why do you expect someone to keep the last name of a person who never raised them either? The double standards... 

3. [+263] I always thought her mother's face looked so kind and I'm just learning that she provides homes to homeless children. She's an amazing person.

4. [+148] Why is everyone being so critical about this ㅜㅜ

5. [+181] She should've changed it sooner. I hope her life is happier for it.

6. [+43] I don't know who Chanmi is but her mother sounds amazing 👏👏

7. [+9] So what if she changed her name to her mother's;; ㅋㅋㅋ The reactions to this are quite shocking; makes me want to change my last name to my mother's too ㅋ

8. [+194] This has nothing to do with feminism. She lives with her mother so she changed her last name to her mother's... are all of you insane? 

9. [+57] Wow, to all of the men accusing her of being a feminist... I'm in shock and wondering if all men think like this, but thank goodness for some of the normal comments left by men too.. thank you to those men ㅜ

10. [+19] Look at the Han-nam shaking their fists over this. She's choosing the last name of the person who raised her but these men are still throwing fits over it.

11. [+3] To all of you idiots accusing her of trying to hop on the 'femi coin' (TN: misogynists will accuse women of 'hopping on the femi coin' when they partake in feminist activities in hopes of gaining support from other women to further their careers) + the idiots who are liking those comments, you all need to go around in society with the words "I am a creator of feminists" written on your foreheads. Lacking intelligence is understandable but lacking this much intelligence should be worthy of the death penalty.

12. [+6] So she's a radical feminist

13. [+4] Okay but that's still your maternal grandfather's last name. There is no last name that belongs solely to women, they all originated from a man ^^
