Yes, this is like four years late and no one probably cares anymore, blah blah blah. But I still see hate videos and posts about her that, in my opinion, are totally undeserved. For anyone who doesn’t know who Seo Shin Ae is: she’s a Korean actress and one of the people who accused Soojin (former (G)I-DLE member) of bullying. Many people claimed she lied and even said that she later confessed Soojin didn’t bully her, but that’s not true. Seo Shin Ae never changed her stance. Some also argue that she never even spoke to Soojin, but Shin Ae clarified that they never exchanged words. Instead, Soojin would insult her, and Shin Ae simply didn’t respond or talk back. Yes, there were people who lied about being bullied by Soojin, but Seo Shin Ae wasn’t one of them. Many people also say that Soojin was found innocent by the court, but that wasn’t regarding to the Seo Shin Ae situation. The court never ruled Soojin innocent in this specific case involving Seo Shin Ae. It simply said there wasn’t enough evidence to prove it either way. (The bullying was verbal insults made 10 years ago) That’s not the same as being cleared. And honestly, it’s wild how twisted the situation has become. This kind of thing happens all the time when an idol gets caught in a scandal. At first, they get hate, are removed from their group, or face consequences for their behavior. But then their fans start rewriting the story to make the idol seem like the real victim and get people to empathize with them. I don’t have a vendetta against Soojin, she was in middle school, after all, and the alleged insults were reportedly rooted in jealousy. There was nothing physical involved. But we should still acknowledge the false narratives being pushed by some of her fans. Especially after Idle has been getting massive hate for re-recording their songs recently. submitted by /u/Ok-Firefighter8531 [link] [comments]
