[instiz] WONWOO WHO LEFT HATE COMMENTS TO SNSD, COMMENTS "I HOPE THE WORLD BECOMES WARMER" ON POST HOPING TO STOP HURTING IDOLS

Seventeen's Wonwoo, who had previously left negative comments about Girls' Generation, commented "I hope the world becomes a warmer place" on a post by fellow member Seungkwan that urged, "Do not hurt idols." Many netizens are pointing out his hypocrisy.

On the 29th, Seungkwan posted on his Instagram, stating, "Being a celebrity is not a job where one has to endure until they’re on the brink of death," and added, "I hope people don't look down on idols" and "I wish you would stop giving wounds that you can't take responsibility for."

In support of his post, other group members left comments, and among them, Wonwoo's comment—"I hope the world becomes filled with warmth like Seungkwan said"—has faced criticism from some netizens.

When he was in sixth grade, Wonwoo posted several times in an online café, insulting Girls' Generation's appearances and degrading their characters. Some of those posts included malicious captures and edited images, as well as harsh criticisms calling them "trash of the music industry."

After facing ongoing criticism for his past negative comments about Girls' Generation, Wonwoo posted a handwritten apology on the official fan cafe in 2016. At that time, he expressed, "I thought of the stars on TV lightly and never imagined that the words I casually threw out could hurt someone."

Netizens aware of this background showed mostly cold reactions to Wonwoo's recent comment. Many commented, "(Wonwoo) contributed to the absence of warmth," "He doesn't have the right to say such things," and "If he’s truly reflecting, he shouldn't be stepping forward like this."

On the other hand, some netizens expressed opposing views, saying, "It was something he did when he was immature; the criticism is too much," "He even posted an apology, so let it go," and "Does that mean we should insult Seungkwan for such a post?"
