Oh my Girl Arin, Jamie, and Risabae Shared Their Hurtful Experience with Haters
In the short campaign ad, the three personalities were asked if they usually see bad comments.
Arin responded that she is always closely monitoring such comments, while Risabae is looking for malicious comments in real-time. Unlike the two, Jamie tried to avoid seeing such comments before, but because SNS is the only mode that she can use to communicate with her fans as of now, she often sees hate feedbacks these days.
When asked about the worst malicious comments that they have ever received, Arin said,
"There's a lot. It's like, "I hate you, I hate everything you do, I hate to see you." Something like this? It bothers me a lot, and something... I think I've been thinking about it a lot," conveying that she's affected on how the haters hate her without a reason.
Risabae, a global beauty creator and makeup artist then opened up about receiving negative comments about her appearance, as well as to her content.
While for Jamie, it is still painful memory of how a netizen visualized her death through a comment, describing that she would probably sound like a pig stab by the throat when she dies.
She received the comment when she joined "K-pop Star," and as she was only 16-year-old that time, it is truly hard for her to continue and pretend like she knows nothing. She revealed that she was haunted by it as well.
