Support or shade? Lizzy posts about Orange Caramel and WJSN Chococome's Hmph on IG

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Former Orange Caramel and After School‘s Lizzy updated an instagram story on 8 October where she shared screenshots of the music video from WJSN CHOCOME, along with the following caption.

"I hope that WJSN will go beyond what OC has💛
#Hmph! hwaiting!
But there’s some overlapping things with Orange Caramel, including the music video concept. “Aing~”, “Abing abing”, “Magic Girl”, “Catallena” 😀 hmph hmph~ ❤️

Raina, Nana and Lizzy are the best.❤️"



Some fans saw this as Lizzy being sarcastic and shady, and it got more and more attention. A WJSN fan DM'ed Lizzy about it and this is their conversation:

What's your opinion? Is Lizzy sincere or was she shading and is now backtracking?

Honestly? I think she was in her feelings over it and it reminded her of the good days when she was in Orange Caramel and then also the bad days when AS and OC just fell off the map with no explanation and they were clearly left to just rot by their agency, and that brought up a lot of ugly emotions. Lizzy's had a difficult road image-wise (being the "ugly one" in after school before her ps and then the way knetz have been so awful about her since she got all her ps) and just having your career disappear under your feet like that can't have helped so I think this just overwhelmed her and she acted out without really thinking? Yeah she was a little rude and shady but tbh I'm not willing to hold this against her. I feel like I can recognise and empathise with her thoughts in this because I know I've felt similar things before I got you know, medication and therapy.

She acted out and was careless just like she says and got her hand bit and has probably learned her lesson. Idk there's more egregious things that idols have done than shade a group for having a similar concept. For this one commenter who was nice to her she probably got 100s of DMs, tags etc of nasty to downright criminal things said to and about her over a messy instagram story, so I'm not going to criticise her for being a bit sloppy in her response.

i would be kinda butthurt too if my group was left in limbo and another group debuts with the same concept too
not that OC had dibs on any concept lol but they were unique enough to draw comparisons

I feel like Lizzy has a lot of unresolved issues, and if she had posted it at an earlier point before chocome started promoting or released the concept, she would probably get more sympathy. but context in this case plays an important role. even after chocome finished promotions, she might have had an easier time to talk about it
