Stylist reveals Irene has made a personal apology
Source: Joongang Ilbo via Naver
1. [+769, -12] For someone with 15 years of experience in the field to feel that her dignity was insulted, Irene's actions must've exceeded beyond simply complaining about her clothes. I'm betting that it was a tantrum on the level of Jo Hyun Ah... And obviously the recording was something huge for both the agency and Irene to apologize. We must not forget that Irene is not someone in her teens or early twenties. She's 30 years old, she should know the basic rules of social etiquette. Perhaps she knew how to hit harder precisely because she knew those rules... I would've rather the recording just have been released as a warning for the rest of the industry.
2. [+744, -20] I hope that this scandal has helped Irene realize where her place in life is. She should understand where she belongs and doesn't belong and act accordingly.
3. [+557, -33] Irene, Red Velvet's image is getting worse because of you. Just leave the group and retire and work on becoming a better human. It's not like you have any talent to fall back on. How do you expect to continue being a celebrity with such poor character like that? Tsk.
4. [+466, -9] If that editor had never come forward, she would still be wearing a mask in front of the public while abusing others behind the scenes
5. [+312, -11] Irene only surrendered because the victim claimed to have a recording. Remember when Seo In Young's career was ruined overnight with a recording? Any celebrity who loses the trust of the public from character issues can never recover again... You either have to beg for forgiveness like Kim Gura or Jun Hyun Moo or issue a genuine apology that the public accepts!!
6. [+186, -4] What I've noticed from observing iljins since high school is that they're always good to the people they consider their own. They're good at creating sides. They'll laugh and giggle to your face while making people cry tears of blood from the back. They're the absolute worst.
7. [+115, -0] Thank goodness for the recording. If it had never existed, I can already tell how SM would've handled this.
8. [+93, -2] SM is already trying to pay their way into cleaning up her image ㅡㅡ I had my doubts but they really erased Irene's name from the real time search rankings ㅋㅋ They're probably thinking that they can just bury it for a while and her fans will still be sucking up to her once she's back... Anyone who supports someone like Irene who is only kind to the people who are kind to her and looks down on anyone she feels is beneath her are no different from her. People aren't meant to be fixed and changed. People like Irene will never understand what this feels like unless they have it happen to themselves ㅡㅡ Let's please just admit that Irene has years of history of an abusive character.
9. [+87, -4] People aren't meant to be fixed
10. [+86, -10] Irene-ssi, read some books and study. I don't want to debate about your character or personality because it's obvious that you're the type of person to suck up to someone you feel is higher class than you. I wonder if you've noticed that the celebrities who are all loved by the public for a long time share the same trait, and it's that they know reality. They're not like you whose education stopped in middle school and whose whole life was spent looking in the mirror. No one will remember you when you turn 35. And it's because you're uneducated. This is not an issue of your character. You just need to read books and learn, and you will get better.
11. [+77, -1] For someone with 15 years of experience to put her career on the line for this makes me think that it wasn't any one thing that Irene did. I'm sure there were plenty of rumors all this time. I hope that Irene takes this opportunity to learn that her career is not something that is only reliant on her talent or skill, and that she needs to act like the leader of the team that she is. It's ridiculous to me that she didn't realize how important image is to anyone in the industry...
12. [+74, -0] I don't want to see her on TV anymore
13. [+75, -7] I wonder if there are still fans shielding her?
14. [+60, -1] People who are ugly turn you off in the moment but people who are ugly on the inside turn you off forever
15. [+56, -3] She is not a young idol, she's facing 30 and should be mature enough to know better. This isn't a personality that can be fixed anymore. She can act and hide it but her true colors will always end up showing.
16. [+51, -0] The recording must be insane for SM to not even make a peep
17. [+47, -0] SM's probably scared. This person holds the power to completely turn this around ㅋㅋㅋㅋ but she's being so respectful over it...
18. [+41, -0] This isn't something a simple apology will fix... SM is always so behind on the times
19. [+41, -2] Never come out on TV again, I never want to see you
20. [+37, -3] This isn't even an issue between one person, Irene's already been an infamous source of rumors in the industry, tsk tsk. Her career as a celebrity is effectively over.
