All for the "empowerment". Guys, this feminism that you preach is bullshit. It's Stellar all over again. The same history https://t.co/LMYy6BBAeI
Many fans and commentators are expressing their surprise at the revelation, given the traditional expectations and pressures placed on Kpop idols regarding their public and private lives.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE FANS' COMMENTS:
Sending all the love to her and her child,it is not going to be easy to be a single parent so the decision must have been thought over for a long time. And honestly to those haters,it is her life,let her do what she wants it is none of ur business as someone who's been there it's def not an easy decision to separate from the person you have a child with.
i hope they're both doing well and they aren't separating just bc she's getting hate. i'm sure she's a great mom too. i'm proud of her.
i support women leaving men who lack compassion. i will be sending a prayer to her wellbeing and i hope that she remains as strong as a brick wall!
child need a father figure in their life to grow mentaly well, so that's a really hard desicion to take who and this shouldn't be taken loosely, I hope for the best and her children can find a father figure.
Good for her! Fvck those fans
