1. [+5,602, -79] Amber is such a respectable person. She herself is quite fluent in Korean but she still gets flack for not being as fluent as a native speaker, and even just a couple of days ago, she apologized over something that could've been laughed off. There's something respectable about someone who can speak out like that ㅋㅋㅋ She's such a healthy and upright person
2. [+4,010, -59] It's cool seeing Amber stand up like that
3. [+3,485, -75] As if they can speak Korean
4. [+2,799, -43] What the, who cares what their pronunciation is like
5. [+2,256, -36] Sigh, I'm sure EXID is having a fun time in America right now but the media is doing this to them..
6. [+337, -7] What's going on... When an American star comes to Korea and speaks in mispronounced Korean, we all support them and cheer them on and praise them for even trying. Are they nuts?
7. [+335, -10] Cool of Amber to stand up like that and put those westerners with a superiority complex where they belong.
8. [+293, -4] Ask them to speak Korean and we'll mock them right back

1. [+436, -9] We never once laughed or mocked them when they came to Korea and said "Ssaranghaeyo Entertainment Relay".
2. [+259, -7] The lowest form of action in the world has to be racism. That broadcast channel proved that they're idiots. Refreshing of Amber to stand up like that.
3. [+251, -14] EXID won #1 for the second week on Inkigayo yesterday and they were all tweeting about how they couldn't attend because they're in America and Hani was talking about not losing her roots when all of this was going on... They should've asked Hani since she knows English, why did they ask Junghwa? And it's not like Americans are any better at Korean pronunciation
4. [+39, -9] Cool of Amber, now that's an example of how you should use SNS
5. [+25, -0] It's a "foreign language" for a reason.. why would they expect native pronunciation? Why would they mock them for that? Are they dumb? Are they really that racist?
6. [+24, -0] You guys sound just as stupid speaking in Korean too
7. [+22, -0] Koreans never once mocked any American actor who came here and spoke in Korean
8. [+21, -1] Amber's got a good head on her shoulders. I'm sure the language barriers have been difficult for her while working in Korea herself.

1. [+396, -7] Racism is taken seriously in America, it's considered a serious criminal offense. They should take immediate action so that this never happens again to another Korean. Letting them go will make them think they can get away with it.
2. [+219, -3] I saw the video and the white female journalist was so ridiculous. As if she'd know how to properly pronounce "annyunghaseyo".. tsk tsk. Being so blatantly racist like that is just proving that they're that dumb. And as for that Asian journalist who participated in the mockery ㅋㅋㅋㅋ you're hopeless
3. [+158, -3] An example that shows that just because they live in an advanced country doesn't mean the people are always advanced
