1. [+629, -16] Well we live here so we're used to it and pretty immune to it but it's the same thing as Koreans not wanting to vacation in the Middle East and stuff due to concerns like this

2. [+435, -61] She probably doesn't know that our country is safer than any of the neighborhoods she's lived in ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+362, -22] Don't really care whether she visits or not

4. [+24, -1] I never realized how serious the threat of North Korea was while in Korea but when I was in Japan, I seriously thought a war was about to break out with how they were reporting on it all serious on the news and stuff ㅋㅋㅋ I felt scared and called my mom but she was so chill about the whole thing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ then I went back to Korea and felt chill again too

5. [+18, -6] I understand her fears

6. [+12, -7] It varies by state in America but the death tolls for gun related deaths is about 60-70 every couple of months. Which country is more dangerous then? If North Korea shoots a missile, they'd shoot it towards the Japanese waters, not towards the South... This fear over a war is ridiculous. This isn't the Bush era. North Korea can't start a war without China's permission and does China look like they're in any position to be admitting a war right now? Just use your brains... this is why celebrities are called dumb all the time.

7. [+11, -1] If she actually came, she'd be in awe over how safe everything is... ㅎㅎ

8. [+10, -6] Marilyn Monroe still came during the Korean war... Tell her to stay home if she doesn't want to come. The night streets of America are more dangerous than Korea.

9. [+9, -0] Technically speaking, America and Europe are way more dangerous because of all the shootings and terrorist attacks but I guess celebrities are still more afraid of Korea since we're a ceasefire country ㅋㅋ

10. [+7, -0] Why hate on her for not wanting to come? ㅡㅡ;;; I understand why she'd feel nervous since foreign media has been reporting on it as if we're on the brink of war... I don't think it's anything to hate on her for;;

11. [+7, -1] She has more of a chance of dying by gunshot at a public event in America than dying from war in Korea

12. [+6, -1] Koreans are immune to it because we've been fooled by the North so much but your country is under constant terror attacks. So which country is more dangerous?
