1. [+311, -52] She's probably going to get married

2. [+272, -35] Not sure if the timing of her retirement is a coincidence or not but it's quite fishy... anyway, she made her decision so I hope she is happier from now on

3. [+249, -44] I guess her past scandals really hurt her... It was probably difficult to endure it mentally with all the hate comments she gets. You've suffered a lot.

4. [+29, -4] Seeing as how her agency hasn't been able to contact her, this retirement was a one sided decision. She always seems to make decisions emotionally than logically.

5. [+13, -2] Her declaration is so short, there must be something difficult going on. Nobody is perfect and everybody makes mistakes, so I hope she lives the life that she wants. She endured a lot in the industry.

6. [+13, -1] I don't believe her. She said so herself after that whole Yewon scandal that she's not leaving the industry because she's already committed to it. I think it has more to do with the MB scandal going on right now... or she's pregnant.

7. [+13, -0] The MB family is finally under investigation... it's not because she's implicated with them, is it??

8. [+43, -3] Retiring only after MB's crimes are being unveiled and his son's secrets are uncovered? Talk about timing

9. [+43, -4] The coincidence of her retiring at the same time the MB investigations are closing

10. [+37, -4] I guess the MB son is getting arrested

(TN: Lee Tae Im is the rumored girlfriend of Lee Shi Hyung, the son of former president Lee Myung Bak (MB), both of whom are under criminal investigation)

1. [+545, -36] Well the industry's infamous for being tough to endure. Just wish her well.

2. [+490, -66] The timing of this is fishy...

3. [+335, -38] Guess she's getting married

4. [+65, -8] This has nothing to do with Myung Bak's son, does it????!!!!!!!!!

5. [+52, -5] I bet you she'll come back once all this drama with Lee Shi Hyung dies down. The timing of her retirement is oddly fishy.

6. [+49, -7] Is it because of the son?

7. [+43, -4] First she gets caught up with his son, now she's retiring ㅋㅋㅋ

8. [+31, -5] Are you getting married to him?

9. [+27, -4] I'm sure she enjoyed life when she was out on a yacht with Lee Shi Hyung and Kim Moo Sung's son in law... just google it, the pictures tell all what the three of them were doing. As if this retirement is on her terms at all...

10. [+18, -1] She probably came upon a ton of money to retire off of... maybe not marriage but a man who's taking care of her. The timing of this is unfortunate though... considering the MB scandal and all~~~
