1. [+3,187, -364] Why hate on her for this? Dong Guk's good at soccer but that doesn't mean he has any influence in the fashion industry... People are just being jealous. I hope she grows into a popular model.
2. [+1,981, -87] I don't know that anyone in the design or fashion industry would hire her just because she's Lee Dong Guk's daughter. And if this is in Paris, how could anyone there know whether she's Lee Dong Guk's daughter or Ronaldo's daughter?
3. [+1,747, -191] She may not have directly benefited from her dad but she has definitely had more opportunities to get her name in the media thanks to her parents compared to other kids her age. She's also gained a ton more opportunities through that as well. I don't think you can ignore the influence of her parents on her life. I just wonder if she truly has potential as a model or not.
4. [+1,111, -57] I would say this is more networking than her dad getting her perks. We all build our own networks, celebrity kids or not.
5. [+292, -8] Oh but she really doesn't match this
6. [+248, -2] I don't think Lee Dong Guk necessarily called anyone up to land her this job but... I do think she wouldn't have gotten it on her own if she wasn't his daughter
7. [+233, -3] You have to admit that she did get famous thanks to her father and a lot more spotlight through him
8. [+155, -1] She doesn't seem model-like at all to me. It's fine if the designer is using her for her fame but she has no looks, charisma, individuality, or physical proportions to be a model.
9. [+121, -5] She doesn't have that model fit look to her ㅡㅡ
10. [+106, -0] Kind of like Hwang Shin Hye's daughter... if they weren't celebrity children, we'd just be like "they're alright"
11. [+105, -2] Her parents may not have pressured anyone to hire her but I'm sure designers took notice of her being Lee Dong Guk and Lee Soo Jin's daughter and hired her for that reason
12. [+72, -3] She doesn't seem like the model type or anything
