1. [+155, -10] This guy interpreted for the Turkish president, got in the papers for marrying a Korean woman, hosted a Korean language event in Istanbul~ He's a famous figure over there. I hope the Turkish journalists will report on him over there and take him back. The longer he stays in Korea, the more people are going to think less of Turkey's image and think that all Muslims have dirty private lives. Please, Turkish broadcasts need to report this on their media and take him back ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

2. [+134, -11] One thing that netizens need to remember no matter what is that they should not be connecting all of Turkey or Muslims to this scandal because of Enes alone. Remember during the Virginia Tech shootings with Jo Seung Hee? Koreans were foremost concerned with him being Korean and were worried about how it would impact America's image of Korea... but Americans drew a line and made it a personal issue, not one of his ethnicity or country. I know that America is multi-cultural but we also need to regard this with a more mature attitude and make sure not to make any negative remarks about Turkey just because of Enes.

3. [+63, -5] There's the saying... those who find success with their words will also find their ruin.

4. [+17, -9] Yeah, there is no reason to put down all of Turkey just because of one person like Enes.

5. [+13, -3] If Enes had been American or Japanese, his ethnicity wouldn't have mattered and his country wouldn't be brought up as often but because he's the first famous Turkish person in Korea, it's unavoidable that that's the impression Koreans will have of the Turkish...

6. [+13, -4] I understand those netizens because Turkey's image has definitely been negatively impacted. He was the most famous Turkish figure in Korea and now whenever we see anything regarding Turkey, we'll remember him..

7. [+11, -1] I like how the Turkish said, "It was weird how Enes represented Turkey but he presented Turkey in such a different image from reality."

8. [+10, -3] They're actually the minority... There are a lot more Turkish women who trust in Enes and are saying shit about Korea. You can look on Instagram or Facebook.
