In the comments, netizens hit back at Yunjin claiming she didn’t change anything despite her promises, even going as far as claiming she and LE SSERAFIM made it go backwards, referring to the vocal controversy they had during Coachella. Many also aimed personal hate towards the idol, speaking about surgery and those she is close to as a way of discrediting her words.

It’s so funny when you think about how she literally didn’t change a single thing https://t.co/9nUlRDqKTm

I kinda feel bad for her because that’s definitely a marketing line she was reading from a script and it’s haunted her to this day https://t.co/WxuP2jKVVs

Some fans tried to defend Yunjin, explaining that she had pure hopes, but the nature of the K-Pop industry means it’s impossible for one person to do it alone. They also added that other idols have said similar things in different ways, but it’s only Yunjin getting hate.

I will never get why she got hate for this when every other idol says something like this https://t.co/xbg2TM1iBM
