Irene (Red Velvet) wrote an official letter to speak out about the "disgusting" attitude of insulting the stylist

On the evening of January 15, Irene posted a letter after a long time of silence. In the letter, the beauty goddess of Red Velvet personally apologized for making the audience sad and worried, admitted her own shortcomings, and promised to become a better person.

If you are a kpop fan, you probably remember that in October 2020, Korean showbiz was shocked by the incident that Irene (Red Velvet) insulted a veteran editor/stylist for 20 minutes straight. Immediately, the leader of Red Velvet had to write a letter to apologize to the stylist and the public, temporarily suspending activities. Recently, Irene returned to perform at the SMTOWN LIVE Culture Humanity concert, but she still suffered a lot of criticism from the public.

Finally, on the evening of January 15, Irene posted a letter after a long time of silence. In the letter, the beauty goddess of Red Velvet personally apologized for making the audience sad and worried, admitted her own shortcomings, and promised to become a better person. In particular, Irene also explained the origin of the incident:

"I lived and thought that I was communicating with people in my own way, so I didn't know that my method of communication, my way of expressing myself could cause problems. I just thought it was simple. There are many different ways of communicating.

Irene's letter quickly "stormed" social networks.

Text of Irene's letter:

Good morning. This is Irene.

It snowed a lot and the weather turned colder. Are you doing well?

I'm late but still nervous as I write this greeting. First of all, I would like to say sorry for causing a lot of trouble and worry to many people just because of my shortcomings.

I started as a trainee in 2009, when I was 19 years old, and now, standing in front of everyone as Irene of Red Velvet all my life. I live in a miniature society called the entertainment industry, I always want to do the best I can, and that's the most important thing to me. I lived and thought that I was communicating with people in my own way, so I didn't know that my communication method, my expression, could cause problems. I just think there are simply different ways of communicating.

I made not only the public, but also those around me worried and criticized because of the recent incident. It is a time to calm down and reflect on yourself. I was surrounded by members, fans, and staff who cared about me, and I realized that with their help and concern, I could work without any problems.

Since I can't go back in time, I'm trying so hard not to go back to the way it was. I realize the weight of words and actions, and I will become a more mature person. In the future, as Red Velvet's leader and singer, I will show the public not only a beautiful image of myself, but also Bae Joo Hyun (Irene's real name). I will try not to disappoint people. I hope that someone will no longer be criticized for what happened because of my incompetence.

It's late, but happy new year.

Before the scandal broke out, Irene was the Asia-Pacific Ambassador of the cosmetic brand Clinique. However, after a series of attitude scandals, the brand strongly removed Irene's image. Korean media reported that, under the direction of Clinique headquarters, stores had to remove Irene's image and replace it with another photo. . On e-commerce sites, the image of the leader of Red Velvet has also "faded", instead of just a product image. South Korea's largest retail chain Olive Young has also taken similar action.

Netizens consider it an inevitable action. When signing a contract with a brand, the celebrity will be responsible for preserving the image, if a scandal breaks out, the contract will be canceled and compensated. Irene is currently a representative of luxury fashion brand Prada, so people are anxiously waiting to see when the company will make a similar move.

Fans turned their backs, asked to leave the group, shouted OT4

Irene's series of attitude scandals was not only criticized by the public, but also a part of Red Velvet fans turned their backs on the idol. A series of Red Velvet's fans expressed their harsh attitudes, resolutely asking Irene to leave the group. They think that when Irene's image falls, the other members will also be affected, if they come back, they will be "stoned" mercilessly. Therefore, according to these fans, Irene's departure from the group will save the name Red Velvet as a group.

Fans also photoshopped and cut out Irene's image from Red Velvet. The surprising thing is that despite the lack of visuals, the image of the remaining 4 members is still extremely beautiful, not creating a feeling of emptiness. Even netizens think that when Irene is gone, Red Velvet will be younger and reduce the average age. Along with the fact that Irene does not have many singing parts in Red Velvet, the fans simultaneously want to "fire" the leader after a series of serious attitude scandals.

First movie delayed

Immediately after Irene's scandal broke out, the producer "Double Patty" - the female idol's first movie announced that she would postpone the screening of the work. Accordingly, the movie Irene starred in will have to postpone the release date to the first half of 2021 instead of the end of this year as expected.

Although the producer explained that the reason the film was delayed was due to the need for more post-editing time, people still couldn't help but suspect that the real cause was the attitude scandal of the female lead Irene. Many netizens are determined to boycott the movie to the end if Irene is still the main actress. Those were the bitter fruits that Irene suffered after her attitude scandal.
