A makeup artist named Soo Kyung defended the K-pop female idol, Irene, against the hate she's been getting following the attitude controversy.
Earlier, Soo Kyung posted a lengthy message on her SNS account, and here's the translation:
"You've been asking me if there's been anything wrong with the salon, and of course, if I go to the salon for a long time, there's a lot of stories to tell. But Irene is a celebrity with a lot of good stories."
"At the end of the year, even the youngest staff will be given a vitamin gift in a hand letter saying thank you to the staff. A celebrity who knows how to say thank you is not everywhere, but many of the staff like Irene very much because she has a good personality," the makeup artist said.
Also, she said, "This situation is very unfortunate because it is a celebrity with more good aspects. Irene is such a good person that fans know," she said, "I want to give Irene a little strength even with a few words."
On Thursday, the whole K-pop industry was shocked when Red Velvet Irene admitted and released an apology letter based on the anger rampage controversy a stylist exposed on Instagram.
The stylist revealed that Irene verbally attacked and showed her rude attitude, saying, "Today, I experienced being thoroughly trampled and beaten by one person in the position of being abused.
Irene then admitted the speculations regarding her and sincerely apologized to her fans and the stylist, saying, "I am truly sorry for hurting the stylist with my foolish attitude and careless words and actions. I regret and reflect that I hurt the stylist a lot with the help of many people who worked hard with me until I was here, but with immature behavior. We will think and act more carefully so that this will not happen in the future."
Irene's agency, SM Entertainment, also promised, "We feel responsible for this and will try to prevent this from happening again to everyone who is with us."
