- [+3,037, -24] Bullying needs to be eradicated. Honestly, none of us can know how they feel but I can only how disgusting they must feel seeing their bullies on TV acting kind and nice.
- [+1,629, -29] I hope they realize that threatening victims with violence makes them no different than a bully too. Make sure you find them and hit them with jail!
- [+1,244, -17] As expected of fans of such an idol
- [+582, -9] Soojin-ah, are you seeing this??? You're so selfish and cruel until the end. I'm ashamed to have ever been classmates with you. Because of you, our middle school's name has been tainted. Whenever I tell people I graduated from there, they all talk about you. You probably thought it'll all work out in the end because things got quiet right..? Everyone but your friends remembers that you were a bully. You're so pathetic and dirty. If you would've just admitted it and apologized from the start, you could've gone on hiatus and eventually came back . You threw away your own chance. You have no shame so don't think you were wronged here. You chose this. You reap what you sow...
