f(x)’s Krystal once again under fire for her attitude

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

f(x)‘s Krystal is once again being put under fire for her attitude on television.

The ladies of f(x) appeared on Mnet‘s ‘Wide Entertainment News‘ to promote their latest title track “Electric Shock” and to have a brief interview with the emcees.

During the intervew, MCs Hong Jong Hyun and Yi Sol Ji shared an amusing photo of Krystal with Super Junior leader Leeteuk, revealing a hilarious contrast between cute and scary. Commenting on how the girl had also played a conceited character on MBC’s ‘High Kick Through the Roof‘, Hong Jong Hyun said, ”I heard Krystal is two-faced.”




Upon hearing his remark, Krystal’s eyes darkened and she bit her lower lip vexingly as if holding in her anger. A few netizens took notice of her drawn-out reaction, sharing screenshots on community forums.

Unsure of how to respond, Krystal glanced at Luna before Victoria said a few seconds later, “She’s not really like that. When we’re together, she’s playful.” Luna also said, “Krystal’s two sides aren’t a bad thing. She’s charismatic and confident onstage, but in reality she’s charming and acts like the maknae.”

This isn’t the first time f(x)’s maknae has been rebuked for her attitude. Last month, many noticed that Krystal kept glaring at KARA‘s Seungyeon during a race on SBS ‘Running Man‘. In 2010 & 2011, Krystal was also widely criticized for paying no attention to other guests during ‘Quiz to Change the World‘, disrespecting staff offscreen, and being a difficult student to her skating instructor on ‘Kiss & Cry‘.

Upon seeing the screen captures, netizens’ responses were split between, “She needs to fix her attitude,” and, “Why is Mnet asking such question in the first place?”

What do you think? Does Krystal need an attitude fix or was the MC rude for asking this question?

I love her even more. Keep doing your thing, Krystal ♥.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

This s much. Don't change for the sake of some dicks. Keep it real girl.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

In this case, I think Krystal was playing off of the question. IDK about the other cases.

[avex-girl.livejournal.com]

She's a spoiled brat who's probably still pissed that her sister was the one who got into SNSD by using her as the bargaining chip, when she got stuck in less popular f(x). She gets no sympathy from me.

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

you do realize if krystal had debuted with snsd she'd have been literally 12 at the time

[needsm0retime.livejournal.com]

omg so she got called out for being two faced to her face and didn't smile at it?!?

makes me like her more tbh

[turielen.livejournal.com]

Seriously, how DARE she be OFFENDED? Being insulted in TV is an HONOR and it's what all idols sign up for in exchange for their fame, SHE HAS NO RIGHT TO TAKE OFFENSE.

[des-akazim.livejournal.com]

maybe she just has an unfortunate face? like how some people just always end up making an angry face or something?

i have difficulties with frowning, so i look happy even when i'm not. it causes problems.

[sashapoly1911.livejournal.com]

Hahah an unfortunate face xD Never heard it called that before! Although I agree, this is a likely answer. I suffer from an "unfortunate face" and people always assume I'm angry or disgusted with them.

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

she's probably tired of hearing it

the only reason dumb shit like this is turned into something big is bc people have this expectation of her and when she does something slightly questionable they jump on the opportunity and villainize her

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

mte

[mikachi613.livejournal.com]

butthurt netizens need to calm the fuck down

[drfaith101.livejournal.com]

Bullshit. And anyone that forms an opinion without watching the video in question is an idiot.

[spikiegirl.livejournal.com]

MTE. It's Kiss & Cry all over again :s

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

lol omg where are my nuabofx frands?

WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS.

either way, idc. i'd hate it if someone basically said i was two-faced on national tv and bless HRH and Luna for answering the way they did.

[static-fixation.livejournal.com]

I love how Vic was trying to cheer her up by being all umma and getting Krystal's hair out of her face. And Luna for turning the MC's words around. f(x) <3 <3 <3

i didn't think this was a secret tho

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

But when watching the video, she didn't even look angry.

at 10:30

[hisjulliet.livejournal.com]

this is such brand new information

[4rang.livejournal.com]

Meh, from what I've seen it's not so much the netizens making a big deal over this, it's the reporters who have nothing else to write about. Some random netizen creates a thread on some forum with a handful of replies and suddenly it's a "hot topic."

Most comments on the articles I've read have been in defense of Krystal.

[helveticalight.livejournal.com]

First of all, how the fuck is a person supposed to react when someone calls them two-faced to their face? Smile happily while saying no and then finishing it off with some aegyo? Fuck that, pretty sure most people would react much worse than a “grimace” at that comment.

Second of all, she didn’t even make a face. Don’t know what the hell netizens saw, but I watched the video of the interview and Krystal didn’t seem rude or anything to me, just tired and somewhat sad.

Interview in question. Start around 10.30-5


I don’t see any rudeness in her reaction. She legit just awkwardly smiles and looks at Luna, before Victoria and Luna jump in to defend her. Where is the rudeness? I see none of it.

And don’t even get me started on the level of sexism behind the hate that Krystal, Sulli, Jessica and other female idols get for their “rudeness,” when male idols are generally let off for much worse behavior. When a male idol snaps/attacks a fan – it’s generally “Oppa is tired/Being an idol is stressful/Oppa is only human/Oppa is still nice, just going through a hard time;” even when oppa has a history of being a rude asshole to fans and their peers in the industry. But god forbid when a female idol forgets to smile during her 16+ hour schedule. God forbid she forgets to pay attention while trying to stay awake after only having 2-3 hours of sleep the night before. God forbid she forgets to be bubbly and smiley cute after having a 10+ hour practice session in uncomfortable ass shoes. And god forbid she reacts with less than a smile and aegyo when someone calls her two-faced to her face. Because she’s not human and tired, no, she’s just a fucking rude bitch, right?

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

again, this is a good comment and you should feel good for making it.

also, i have decided that your vision for how krystal leaves the idol industry is the only way i want her to leave lol

[needsm0retime.livejournal.com]

starts @ 2:44

"Krystal’s eyes darkened and she bit her lower lip vexingly as if holding in her anger."

plz give me you aff account so i can read more.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

oh god. she looked so uncomfortable during that entire segment. :[

[parametre.livejournal.com]

why would anyone be happy about being called two faced on television? I don't know about her behaviour outside of this particular instance, but her reaction here seems pretty justified to me...

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

Nothing new tbh. I have friends who attended international school with her and they said Krystal wasn't that nice lol. I thought the question was a little rude though - unless the MC asked it jokingly. And netizens need new news.

[vizallati.livejournal.com]

After watching the video with her ~reaction... netizens wat. I must be blind or something because Krystal didn't seem to react badly to it imo.

[murderistx.livejournal.com]

If someone said I was conceited during recording, I'd make a sour face too.
And I feel like Krystal has a natural HBIC face.

[tippani.livejournal.com]

take cute photos > get criticized for your attitude

oic

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

MTE.

[odd-fish-stick.livejournal.com]

she really wasn't. how was she supposed to react? again this goes back to how women are supposed to always be proper and submissive. If anything was rude about this was the question itself.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Geez she so much as looks at someone a certain way and gets an article written about her. Idek what the big deal is, her 'unhappy/glaring' face really just looks like her default face to me. I'd be pretty pissed if someone called me two-faced as well.

But can I just add that Hong Jong Hyun is a qt.

[devilstay.livejournal.com]

lol, yeah, okay. Let's just deal with the fact, that Krystal doesn't like to pretend to be cheerful when she isn't and move on.

Not to mention, that in this particular event, the only ppl who looked legit mad, where the other members. Victoria was looking that MC up, and down, like she could claw out his eyes. Why? Because it wasn't funny, so why should she, or anyone else pretend it was.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I honestly thought Vic was going to bitch-slap the MC

[kiminikaeru.livejournal.com]

that's why i love her so much

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

oh sure, because everyone smiles and acts cute when called "two faced"! Seriously, the interviewer is the one with a problem, not Krystal. She's only human. She doesn't have to smile 24/7 like an idiot

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

*le sigh* I really don't get these netizens at all.

Oh wait, when did we anyway?

[x-doctess.livejournal.com]

I don't like Krystal at all, but are people seriously making a fuss over this?

[shikinluv.livejournal.com]

yeah well, what else can they come at her with
