Now that they're back to a semi-idle pace I wish SM would put Seulgi on some variety/reality show. Irene has music bank, Joy has WGM. Seulgi needs to step up her game too.
I'm still in school but I think I could make it later unless someone else posts about it.
Mess. A lot of Korean stans are saying the akgae translator redjuhye0n made up half the fan accounts she posted about irene during their fansignings. She also deactivated her account so I'm gonna need to find some other sources.
wait so the akgae was an irene stan? then why would she make up negative rumours? s: a post would be interesting, idek what's going on or where to start
basically this one non native transaltor posted a translation of irene replying to a fan, who asked her if they could get married, with "marriage is supposed to be between woman and man only." and then there was a big shit storm abt it (well, at least on twitter and onehallyu) until this other native(?) translator tried to break it down to prove that irene was speaking abt herself personally, and it was not a general statement for everyone else. both translators are red velvet fans tho so the jury is still out on this one.
i was talking to a friend of mine (who's korean canadian + fluent in korean) about it and she basically said that like. the way that the comment in the original translation went can be taken ambiguously? as in: she either could've be referring to herself or in general but that, regardless of the connotations involved, either outcome would ultimately be disappointing because the context in general is pretty "no homo".
yep, exactly. it's def one of "those" situations. we're never gonna totally know what she meant unless she gets asked about it (which she won't) or something similar happens that's more blatant. but, ia, and if she didn't want to play along she could've at least turned them down in a different manner.
people are saying that she's ultra conservative and it was just a knee-jerk reaction. she should have learned from seulgi who gets tons of proposals from both girls and boys.
Should we expect hetero people to roleplay being gay just for the sake of fans though? Idk, feels kind of icky to me. As long as she didn't didn't say anything derogatory and it was just a personal statement I'm fine with it.
mte. i don't find anything malicious about what she said and knowing how irene is in general being the more conservative/traditional type. but it really blew out of proportion because people found out the op translator was an akgae and then the people from onehallyu started creating troll accounts about irene being homophobic so majority who don't follow the fandom were like wtf and started assuming things.
well yea, but playing along doesn't necessarily mean roleplaying being gay. just simply laughing it off counts too, it doesn't hurt to humor fans a bit.
i don't have the source (lol) but i also saw another native translator refute the second translation? smh this is a mess. hopefully irene didn't actually say anything like that. people can just make up fan accounts tho so who knows....
yeah seulgisolomon (https://twitter.com/seulgisolomon/status/717721497624772608) posted a long explanation on it. the whole situation is still a big question mark to me, i didn't know what to believe. it's easier to judge someone when you get it at face value instead of it going through several different sources first
i agree, i'll give her the benefit of the doubt since i don't speak korean and haven't seen an unbiased translation. she should have just humoured the fan tho lol but that's not really an issue.
i dont think it was a knee-jerk reaction (or where that ultra conservative stuff came from) bc she had said yes during another fansigns (translated by the same fan), i dont know why she answered differently this time but in general it seem like she's still very awkward with fans and doesnt know how to play along yet. like when she scolds fans for skipping school or not studying hard enough. i understand why she would do that but reading those fanacc she comes off too strong?? like she has no people skills or something, and she def needs to work on that.
what her intention was here doesnt matter tho, bc people have already made up their mind about it. i have people on my tl that never acknowledged rv's existence, but they were all over this, saying the nastiest shit. same with all those troll accounts, or people sending gross msgs to rv blogs.
