She said that things got out of hand after she found out that a young girl was asked to harm herself just to get Shin's information and attention.
Shin explained that it also got to a point where she was no longer upset at being called a Rosé copycat.
Instead, it is the fact that her haters have been urging her to hurt herself. They have also been threatening her loved ones.
The Korean-American model later clarified that no one has harmed her contrary to the rumors that have been going around.
But she confirmed that she had already taken matters into her hands before someone could get hurt.
