1. [+4,025, -503] They may have caught the person who spread the rumors but the whether the rumors are true or not will only be known between Seo Jisoo and the victim

2. [+2,653, -139] What I don't get is... if she hadn't even debuted at the time, why would anyone write false rumors about her when she's not even popular?

3. [+2,463, -302] What's it matter if they fine them and send them to juvie court... It has long since not mattered what the actual truth was. Seo Jisoo's image has been ruined to the point of hitting rock bottom and many believe the rumors to be true. The agency must've thought that the court ruling the rumors to be false would be enough but I don't think they did enough in this case to preserve her image.

4. [+2,118, -140] So what're they going to do with Seo Jisoo? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She's up in the air now

5. [+1,308, -199] It's quite known that Koreans will band together like sheep when fired up about certain issues. A celebrity is not the best career choice all things considered..;;;;

6. [+492, -65] So the only people who received punishments are the people who photoshopped Seo Jisoo's pictures and spread false rumors... Then what about the evidences if all the rumors are false? Were the evidences also made up by psychopaths purely to exile her? And why Seo Jisoo of all people? She was a nugu because it was before her debut, why would so many be so angry enough to try and ruin her like this??? I think there's a reason for everything... and seeing as how her agency reacted quietly when the rumors first began spreading, I think there was a reason they kept quiet during the ordeal.

7. [+404, -50] Just because they were fined doesn't tell us anything about what the truth is... let's not lose focus here.

8. [+404, -78] I think the accounts are too detailed to just call a lie... were they all delusional fiction writers?

9. [+340, -32] The rumors could be true and whoever spreads them would still be punished like this

10. [+323, -54] Please just kick Seo Jisoo out already. The members right now are doing fine, I don't want the other members suffering from hateful comments because of her.

11. [+287, -12] One thing's for sure and that for someone who claims to be innocent, her and her agency did not respond in an adequate fashion when the rumors first broke out. Imagine if you yourself were swept in such rumors, would you be able to stay quiet like they had? She is under an agency, she could've caught the person spreading the rumors immediately and screwed them over so why didn't she?

12. [+303, -35] So why were such detailed lies made up then...? It's so hard to believe that the rumors were unfounded;;;;

13. [+261, -20] I'm still reminded of that scandal whenever I hear Lovelyz's name

14. [+247, -13] You can still be fined even if you spread the truth, stop trying to distract from the real issue here

15. [+205, -9] I don't care that they caught who spread the rumors, I care what the actual truth of the rumors are

1. [+73, -4] I feel like they're just looking for a timing to kick her

2. [+53, -4] I think they're testing the public to see whether they can keep her or not

3. [+53, -5] The thing is that the two people spreading the rumors were fined for the simple act of spreading the rumors, not for specifically spreading false rumors. The actual lawsuit with the victim is still ongoing, which means there's a 90% chance that the rumors are actually true ㅋㅋㅋ
