Seo Yuri Begs WINNER Fans to Stop Sending Her Threats for Alleged Statement About Mino

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Broadcaster and voice actress Seo Yuri recently left a message on her personal SNS accounts begging fans of WINNER to stop leaving hateful comments and threats after allegedly making a statement about Mino’s lyric controversy.

On July 11, before the reports of Mino’s “Show Me the Money 4” controversy hit the media, Seo Yuri had posted on her personal Twitter account, “These days, it seems like there are people that think they were born from eggs on their own and not from their mothers…Oh, but I acknowledge Park Hyeokgeose.” [Park Hyeokgeose was the founding monarch of the Silla Kingdom, whose legend says he was born from an egg].


However, after fans of WINNER got a hold of this situation, they began to send threats and leave hateful comments on all of Seo Yuri’s SNS accounts for seemingly attacking Mino for his rap lyrics.

She attempted to explain her intentions, sharing, “I understand that fans may feel upset. I did not write those words with the intention of targeting anyone from the start. I have no knowledge or understanding of hip-hop. However, I was shocked while watching the program ‘Show Me the Money.’ I just couldn’t help but think that [the show] crossed the line of common thinking and reasoning.” However, the insults and threats continued.

Then, on July 13, Seo Yuri wrote a post on her Facebook asking the fans to put a halt to the hate:
“I am sincerely asking this of ‘WINNER’ fans.

There is currently swears and attacks that I can’t even bear to repeat pouring in through all of my SNS channels from fans of WINNER, or even people pretending to be fans.

Not just from our country, but [fans] from America and China have come [to leave messages] as well.

From the beginning, I have never mentioned a WINNER member’s name or uploaded a photo on my SNS.
I think the fans know this very well.

Furthermore, during this time when WINNER’s Song Minho has personally released an apology, I think fans, or fan impersonators, know very well that this behavior will not be of any help to Song Minho.

I am extremely distressed right now.
All I can do is watch over my mother who is hurt and unable to say anything as she reads all [of these comments] with her own eyes.

I ask of you, please stop.
Please tell others around you that are acting in this way to stop.

I hope that you truly think about what is the best thing that you can do right now for the star that you love.

I do not wish for this situation to get any bigger.
Thank you for reading this.”

Meanwhile, Mino received criticism for his controversial rap and choice of lyrics on the latest broadcast of “Show Me the Money 4,” to which he responded by formally issuing an apology.

“These days, it seems like there are people that think they were born from eggs on their own and not from their mothers…Oh, but I acknowledge Park Hyeokgeose.”

The NB comments were a mess claiming she was a nugu using him for fame.

I mean...she's a south korean woman. If anything she has more say in this situation than any of us do so why the bloody hell are people sending her hate for the most absurd reasons? Then again angry kpop fans and logic don't exactly go hand in hand.

[luvikakulubnika.livejournal.com]

When are NB comments not a mess tho?
Generelly speaking, it's really annoying how idol fans can't stay quite and accept it when their bias f*cked up.

[ketchum.livejournal.com]

If anything she has more say in this situation than any of us do

this is how i feel about the general "this is an overreaction" sentiment by alot of intl fans surrounding this issue
it's been mentioned why many korean women/feminists are upset about his lyrics but i guess it doesn't matter if it doesn't fit ur western?ethno?idk-centric view of what's Serious or not

[mya13.livejournal.com]

ugh MTE!

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

A lot of people on my t-list have been ticking me off about this. Mino was wrong. Seo Yuri's right. Even if you don't like what Seo Yuri said, harassing her doesn't help Mino. Also, I'm really bothered that so many fans are acting like the problem is that Mino is an idol being vilified for making a sexual remark when actually people are upset b/c he sexualized a medical visit that many women avoid b/c of the stigmatization around sex - even when visiting the gyno doesn't always have to relate to sex (ex. checking for ovarian cysts).

[misswaldorf.livejournal.com]

WTF. Winner fans needs to chill out.

How dare she have an opinion, must be a nugu trying to mooch off our oppa's fame.
Wake up. Not everything revolve around your precious oppa~

[algaee.livejournal.com]

i can't

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

I don't know who you are, I'm not well-versed in k-drama, but you go, Seo Yuri!

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

she's a well known voice actor, anyone who plays lol hears her voice every day :D

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's why comments where mentioning LOL, thanks for the info.

[bamboolover.livejournal.com]

What a flawless shade, I bow to you Miss Seo! And I see your rainbow avi, I see you!


YG needs to check his pathetic cohort.

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

w/e oppa was trash in the first place for making those lyrics. so.

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

mte!!!

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

+1

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

This.

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I went to look who she was because I feel like I will like her and she was familiar to me (it can't be for her voice). She acts on some SNL's sketches and I watched her on Hello Counselor. I'm confused because SNL is not the show that treat women the best, if you know what I mean. But I'm glad she has a job that makes her more popular and can get some more money.
Mixed feelings.

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Damn, let her live. These children are so annoying.

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

Lord, heaven forbid women have an opinion or disagree with a man. What Mino said was absolutely gross and shitty, and I can't with anyone who is defending him. Mino will be fine, because at the end of the day, he is a male and has so many misguided/ignorant fans defending his honor or something.

I love that she does not apologize for what she said, because there was nothing wrong with her comment. She only asks sincerely for people to stop, as they should. Internet anonymity can be so dangerous in these instances, when people say things they wouldn't say in person.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

This has to be a slew of children. I think said fans missed the part where Mino apologized? Meaning, he did something wrong? Therefore making what she said, correct, even if they don't like it. The lyrics were horrid. Nothing else to discuss.

[dongsaengkiller.livejournal.com]

+1000000

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

it's funny because to general sk public it's mino who's a nugu - seo yuri's super well known among gamer community and is generally on more tv than this asshole

also they found out the person who called her a third rate ps trash or whatever wasn't even a winner fan, just another ilbe bug

[pockeeta.livejournal.com]

what i'm worried about now is that mino's gonna think it's ok for him to say shit like that when there are these fans ~~defending~~ him. gj fans. don't let oppa grow up that's the way to go.

also yeeess @ her shading him that was good bless seo yuri

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

smh.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

She isn't even a nugu she's probably more well-liked and well-known than Mino in korea so idk who these children think they are (i can say this now that i'm 18 ^U^!!!)

Pathetic all around.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

"7. [+127, -5] Don't mess with Seo Yuri unless you want all of the League of Legends players and voice actors on your ass"

Oh word she got goons???

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

these fans look stupid as fuck when even mino acknowledged he was wrong

[suxaholic.livejournal.com]

kpop fans can be so messy

[obscureauthor.livejournal.com]

99% of Oppa fans are messy af! Like the millions of kpop fans who defended kim hyun joong and his woman-beating ways!

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Young fans are messy, what you expect? Anyhow as a woman she had right to shade Mino (though it's kind of ironic that she's part of Korea's SNL, which is probably one of the most misogynistic shows ever aired in Korea).

[modestgoddess79.livejournal.com]

so underage fans most of whom are too young to see an OB/GYN and international fans attacking a Korean woman over what is offensive to Korean women

also I'm really tired of girls throwing other women under the bus to defend trifling men who wouldn't give them the time of day
