congratulations
(I haven't listened to highlights)

Yo is this Irene s*** serious?

idk if you're entirely caught up but this was the (translated) og post calling her out which she admitted was true/apologised for:

"Looking at articles about Heather Cho, who is the epitome of a 'sociopath' when she created the infamous peanut incident in which she made an airplane with 250 passengers return to the airport over some peanuts, also the article about the psychopathic elementary school daughter of Bang Jung Ho, the former president of TV Chosun, who abused her power and cursed at her 50-year-old chauffeur. I came to wonder how an individual is raised to become like that. I've been deeply thinking about it, but today, I've been thoroughly trampled by this one person, and I became the position of the abused. Proven to be disqualified from being human + a puppet living behind a smiling mask + known to be a warm person by friends + an 'adult child' who lacks character + has a sense of entitlement + has the stupidity that reveals all the deficiencies transparently to the person they meet for the first time.

I should have prepared myself from the stories I've heard before I met her. But today, I became speechless as this person stung me with her words that are like electric needles. I had no choice but to stand still with my hands, feet, and even my brain tied together. I had to stand still in front of that repulsive face that was hysterically throwing a fit at me. I had to stand there like a fool without anything I could do. This person did not give me time to understand the situation or even seek understanding from this person. This person didn't even give me a chance to explain because she can't hear anything. I've experienced all sorts of people in this field for 15 years. I thought I had experienced everything in life and thought I had let everything go, but I was wrong.

I experienced hell for 20 minutes in an unfamiliar room. This person skipped the greeting and sat right down as this person began spewing insults at my face with her cellphone pointed at me. This person was so emotional that you couldn't know if she's talking to everyone in the room or just me. But either way, the target today was me. I wondered, 'I guess other people experienced this too? They are experiencing it, right?' The knife from her mouth did not stop as I have been stabbed multiple times by her words, and only tears rolled down my face. I wasn't even in the right mind to feel embarrassed that I was crying; tears just came out. What am I doing this for? Who am I doing this for? What do I want to show? Is it to earn money? Who chose me? Did someone ask for a favor? Why am I going through such an insult?!

I thought deeply about this but could not understand her actions. I calmed down, and I wanted to talk to her person to person like a normal human being. And I wanted an apology. But she just disappeared. I recorded everything, just in case something else would happen. I should take action against this lady. I will state the exact facts through my words.

I was an editor paid to work and was a writer. I'm going to use all my energy and use my brain smartly and cleverly from now on. It's been a long time since I felt revenge be a catalyst #psycho #monster"

and then she was accused of this by a very popular Chinese stylist:

but yah her reputation is pretty much entirely ruined in Korea now, a fan meeting was just canceled, you should see what knetz are saying, idols (especially female idols) are held to a very high standard and this obviously crosses said standard, it reminds me a lot of that Ellen scandal with her workers tbh.

I think she's either gonna leave red velvet or the whole group will be put on hiatus until contract renewals happen. Just in time for sm's new girl group

Yea I posted itt cuz I saw knetz reaction on stan twitter and holy s***. I had never read this though wtf it’s so much worse than I thought.

She being super extra by saying her mouth was a knife that stabbed her

But still if Irene really did that s*** I can’t even say that I’m like, idk, empathetic for her? I don’t think she should lose her career for this a genuine apology should be just fine, but goddamn this sounds brutal.

I wish they would explain what she was yelling about.

stan joy

stan Seulgi

yeah it at the very least makes me look at Irene in a different light and it'd be hard to continue to watch content from her knowing she's like this behind closed doors. Makes me very uncomfortable in a way. It's strange but I myself have kinda been hoping she leaves the group. I'm not sure if I think her career in general should be over but at the same time I can't entirely sympathise if it is.

stan twitter being mad annoying tryna create excuses for her, if the situations were reversed and it was someone yelling at Irene like this they'd be on that person's neck.

anticipate SOTY tomorrow

If it was reversed that person’s head would be on a stick lmao

But I agree she should do what’s best for her group and bounce before they have to disband

Sad situation all around tho, especially since the subunit just came out this year

legendary s***

even sadder because Wendy's been on hiatus for almost a year now as a result of that wrist/pelvis injury and they were rumoured to be having a comeback sometime at the end of this year, now idek if we're gonna get a comeback ever.

my only hope is that this doesn't effect the other 4's careers in the long term.

new loona mini is so damn good. don't care all that much for the title track but that run of voice, fall again and universe

can't stop listening

album of the year no cap

yeah i mean its one thing to snap on someone but its something else to snap on someone so hard that you bring them to tears in front of everyone ... the publics reaction seems pretty harsh but i have 0 pity for someone whos capable of being that mean to someone. maybe some context would help but oh well

Tbh i tried to think what is the closet ive seen to this

Like ive worked with doctors that have made me feel like s***, and ones that have made their employees cry. Sometimes the employees are sensitive, or took it too personally and sometimes the doctor is just as a****** at that moment, or both.

That said, usually the s*** that made ppl cry was usually just like a offhand comment, or like a 20 second interaction.

In this irene case, just going at someone for that long seems excessive. Like it would be taxing to your own self to be that upset with someone for that long.

Anyway, it's kinda whatever. I never thought she enjoyed being an idol to begin with so it won't really be too much different for me if she continues her idol career

lmao why they putting apple, crossroads and labyrinth on here
