Actress Yoon Eun Hye is receiving much criticism from netizens following her tweet about riding the bus for the first time in ten years.

On December 4, Yoon Eun Hye tweeted, “I had a valuable experience today. I took the public transportation for the first time in almost ten years. My manager half-forced me to take the bus to go to the bookstore, and he’s been embarrassing me by snapping away photos. Ahh it was unbelievable. But why do I have butterflies in my stomach? Oh! We should leave the seats for children and the elderly to sit because buses are dangerous. I was only on the bus for a little while but the bus was swaying and I was stumbling everywhere. It must be really dangerous for those without much strength in their arms and legs.” She also uploaded a photo of herself waiting for the bus at a bus stop.

Unfortunately, many netizens have expressed their discomfort and discontent at Yoon Eun Hye’s post, commenting “How is riding the bus to go to a bookstore a valuable experience?” “I feel like we live in different worlds. She definitely did not think this through before posting,” “is that something to boast about?”

On the other hand, she also received support from her fans. Some posted, “Yoon Eun Hye has been a celebrity since she was a little girl, so she hasn’t been able to use the public transportation like the rest of us. So for her, it makes sense to call something that’s quite insignificant to us valuable,” “Celebrities obviously can’t ride buses, so it’s new for her. It’s not like she wrote anything derogatory,” and “I would be scared too if I had to ride the bus for the first time in ten years.”

What a weird (and kind of insignificant) thing to criticize someone for. I could see it if she'd tweeted something like "Rode the bus for the first time in ten years OMG WHY DOES ANYONE DO THIS THIS IS AWFUL etc. etc.," but...

Seems like if she's an idol, it's not really... feasible for her to take public transportation everywhere, especially faraway or tightly-packed schedules that require her to be prompt. :\

I could have sworn that there have been korean celebrities that have tweeted about the wonders of taking public transportation and received praise about it.

Maybe the angry bus hating netizens were online that night

Yup. Siwon tweeted before about taking the KTX for the first time. I don't recall netizens bashing him for that. lol.

I tried to take the bus alone two years ago and I ended up catching the wrong bus BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME FUCKING NUMBERS :/ So....taking public transportation can be pretty scary if you haven't done it in awhile, lol.

it honestly doesn't sound like she said anything privileged or pretentious, so unless there's an error in translation, i don't understand the bashing. unless she said something like "ughhh had to use public transportation today, it was so DIRTY and CROWDED and i don't know how/why normal people put up with it!" idg the issue.

I think those netizens viewed the tweets as being a little haughty which in my opinion isn't really but hey she rode a bus today, what's new? :|
