“Please stop putting hate on her, she already explained herself and said she didn't know, many idols wouldn't even bother to make a text apologizing, you're not satisfied with anything, right, just because she's an idol you can't go wrong? we all make mistakes, that's unfair, even if she made a mistake now she knows she won't do it again, let's stop being childish,” one netizen wrote.
