f(x) Luna is under fire for mentioning deceased name on TV without consent.
On the 3rd, Lee Ji-eun's younger sister, Sophia revealed that her family was enraged that Luna shared the deceased's name on TV.
She wrote, "Sulli was a celebrity and a fellow group member but my sister is a regular citizen so I don't understand why private matters are being displayed like this. My sisters friends wrote me on Instagram telling me my Instagram was all over Facebook and asked if I was ok. Her fans even messaged me and asked me to comfort luna because she was sad. I literally had nothing to say because I was in shock."
"How can she upload a condolences post like that when they're such good friends. I thought I should bear it but after seeing today's broadcast i can no longer tolerate it. At the very least she should've contacted us and let us know. None of the family members know her personally and I'm the only one who's seen her come and go but she never even told me about it. How can she go on camera and talk about a regular person on TV like that? Didn't she think our family would be destroyed again?"
She added, "People thought my sister was IU and kept saying they were baited and gossiped about my sister's death. Was she thinking of our family? I'm honestly so upset and cannot understand her attitude. Please don't use my sister's death for your gain."
Sophia was an ex-trainee alongside Luna but decided not to pursue celebrity life.
Netizens shared mixed reactions to the post writing,
[+4,962, -85] The victim's family has every right to be enraged. How can f(x) fans ask her to comfort Luna..they went too far.
[+3,437, -235] Aigoo-ya, Luna-ssi...why do you keep doing that
[+3,230, -1,336] Why are they taking this up with Luna? Isn't it normal to take issue with the reporters that took the deceased photos and aired them on broadcast without blurring them;;;
[+452, -4] Either way, she's a regular person. They shouldn't have revealed her real name or face like that because it would only lead to gossip
[+450, -11] What is the top comment sayingã…‹ã…‹ã…‹. Why take this up with Luna? Isn't she the one that went on air and talked about her? Of course the family would be angry with her.
[+372, -1] Frankly, I can see why the bereaved family would feel like she was using her death for personal gain because she didn't contact them first. Any normal person would see it like that too.
[+370, -5] I can see why it would be problematic since she didn't get prior consent first.
[+318,-5] I understand the bereaved family's position á…²
