Three days ago, a stylist exposed one celebrityŌĆÖs rude behaviors, causing a huge stir. The lengthy post she wrote started to spread like wildfire, and eventually, Red VelvetŌĆÖs Irene officially apologized. And since then, there has been a heated debate over the singer. Netizens continued to criticize her for her unwise actions, while more staff stepped up to refute allegations. Sookyung from Soonsoo, a salon that Red Velvet has been going to for years, wrote, ŌĆ£Irene is someone that there are many good anecdotes about. SheŌĆÖs a celebrity that knows how to thank people. Gifts arenŌĆÖt everything but many staff in Soonsoo like her because he has such a good character. As she is a celebrity with more good sides to her, this situation is all the more regrettable. I hope that this post, although it is short, will become a small strength to her.ŌĆØ Another staff member from Soonsoo wrote, ŌĆ£Irene is more warm-hearted than anyone I know. I donŌĆÖt know why this kind of thing happened, but IŌĆÖm sure this too will pass, and the truth will prevail. IŌĆÖll stay by your side so letŌĆÖs overcome this together.ŌĆØ One staff, who worked with Irene for five years, defended her, saying, ŌĆ£How many artists will give handwritten letters to every dancer? I canŌĆÖt say I know everything about her, but as a person who has been working with her for a long time, I know that she has a kind heart.ŌĆØ Choi Sun Hee, who is in charge of Red VelvetŌĆÖs choreography, wrote, ŌĆ£I think there is too much misunderstanding about Irene. She is a smart girl who is full of energy for her work and has a strength in picking up details.ŌĆØ She also added, ŌĆ£Of course, there are times when there are conflicts of opinion because it is a place where many people come together to work, but on such days, she always texts first, knows how to coordinate opinions, shows her gratitude and cheers us up.ŌĆØ Amid a flurry of postings by Red Velvet staff, there are still negative testimonies against Irene. However, with the continued controversy, there are also voices of concern over the fact that some people are going beyond the criticism and just using this opportunity to vent out their anger. And this concern seems appropriate as some haters started to attack other Red Velvet members. Here are some of the comments written on membersŌĆÖ Instagram. ŌĆ£Joy, you need to be careful, too,ŌĆØ ŌĆ£I heard everyone except Seulgi and Wendy are b******,ŌĆØ or ŌĆ£Joy, I heard a lot of things about you. Act nice before you become like Irene.ŌĆØ Source (1, 2)
