In a disturbing turn of events, rising K-pop star Eunchae finds herself at the center of a storm of online hate comments.
The 20-year-old singer, who gained prominence as a member of the popular girl group Le Sserafim, is facing a wave of criticism and abuse from netizens, igniting discussions about cyberbullying and cancel culture in the entertainment industry.
The hate comments directed towards Eunchae range from criticisms of her singing abilities to personal attacks on her appearance and character. Translations of the comments reveal a shocking level of vitriol aimed at the young idol, with some netizens even questioning her right to be in the spotlight.
"Seriously whenever I look at Eunchae's face, I can't help but wonder how she debuted."
"Yah go watch Mister Trot... There are babies who are way younger than you who can sing so much better... Eunchae grandma with arm hairㅠ"
"You can't even sing, imagine becoming a celebrity like you tsk tsk and please spend some time practicing!!!"
The relentless nature of the attacks has left many observers deeply concerned about the impact on Eunchae's mental well-being.
"Why are you doing this to a young kid..."
"This country has way too many mentally ill people."
"But even on Youtube Reels, her comments are all bad tooㅠ."
The outpouring of support for Eunchae amidst the hate demonstrates a growing awareness of the harmful effects of cyberbullying on individuals, particularly those in the public eye.
As the hate campaign against Eunchae shows no signs of abating, calls for action to address cyberbullying have grown louder. Some netizens have called for legal action against those responsible for the hate comments, while others advocate for greater efforts to promote positive online discourse.
"Didn't they say they'd sue? This is bad."
"This is so severe, I hope she sues them all."
"At this rate, I pity Eunchae."
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by public figures in navigating the often unforgiving landscape of social media.
Recently, Korean university students have turned LE SSERAFIM Eunchae into a meme following her controversial remarks about school. Eunchae's comments, perceived as condescending, sparked anger among students, who feel she doesn't understand their struggles as a non-student idol.
They mock her for her perceived lack of education and easy life as an idol. The meme reflects resentment towards her privileged position and highlights the disconnect between her and regular students. Eunchae's lack of apology or acknowledgment only fuels the ridicule further.
