Article: "Our precious child" Comment left under hate comment about ITZY Chaeryung's looks

1. [+2,914, -373] I understand where the mother's coming from but I don't think leaving comment replies is the best way to handle this. People who leave hate comments aren't ones to listen to this kind of stuff. The only solution is to just ignore them.

2. [+2,081, -176] Your daughter is charming and pretty, but the standards for beauty are subjective and even if she were considered objectively pretty, hate comments will exist no matter what. It's what she'll have to deal with moving forward so please don't get hurt by them and strengthen your heart instead.

3. [+669, -10] Makes me realize how amazing Umji is. I remember every single article about her in the past had hate comments.

4. [+302, -69] Did her mother not realize that celebrities got hate when she let her go into this career?? There are so many people who get worse comments than Chaeryung and her mother's already acting like this over a few weeks of comments;;; not that I'm supporting hate comments but;;

5. [+269, -28] To be honest, idols are half visuals half skills, no? I think it's fair that they're criticized about their looks. I know that as parents, you think your kid is the prettiest and don't want them to be hurt by these things but if she chose to work as a member of society, you can't have everything your way.. I think it's their own fault for debuting in the celebrity industry expecting to hear only positive things. They didn't strengthen their mentality enough for this. I know that it's not fair to justify hate comments about skills or looks but.. it's just something she's going to have to deal with and overcome to reach her position~ Even the rest of us deal with this and keep our jobs up.. in worse conditions..

6. [+253, -43] So her mom basically wants people to either praise her or say nothing at all. I guess I won't care about this kid anymore.

7. [+223, -75] Mother, it's fact that your daughter is ugly.

8. [+206, -7] ... I know that it hurts the mother's heart to hear this but it's just the way idols are. You can't only have it your way... They're making money that others could only dream of at a young age. I suggest that she not read the comments then.

9. [+202, -48] If you have such a problem with this, you shouldn't have let her debut

10. [+192, -17] Mother, if your daughter is so precious to you, why didn't you just keep her home? Why allow her to take on a profession that keeps her in the public eye?? You need to teach her how to overcome these things. Don't beg for sympathy from the public.

11. [+183, -45] But Chaeryung is the visual hole of the group...

12. [+153, -10] She has to endure the weight of the crown. I know it's not right to write hate comments but celebrities will always be judged by the public. Singers especially are judged on three minutes of stage time so maintaining your looks is a must in order to capture the public's attention. If you think of it another way, technically celebrities make money off of the hate they get. It's better than being a nugu who never gets mentioned at all.

13. [+151, -7] Hate comments are wrong, I agree. However, if it's raining outside and you don't want to get even a drop of rain on you, you should not be going outside. If you don't want to get hate comments, don't become a celebrity. She has a long way to go and her mother is already nitpicking at all of this?

13. [+130, -3] Her mother's overreacting. Chaeryung hasn't even seen the worst of it yet... Hyoyeon and Umji got a ton more hate when they first debuted.

14. [+124, -6] I understand how she feels but responding to comments like this is only giving haters more bait. And she only just debuted, standing up for her like this will make haters think she's a total mama girl. I'm not defending haters but don't act like she's been suffering from these comments for 10 years like Moon Hee Jun has ㅋ

15. [+103, -5] Hello, being a celebrity is a career where your looks are your #1 priority, how are you telling people not to leave her any hate comments but only praise? ㅋㅋㅋ She's making money off of her looks, of course she's going to be judged on that too.

1. [+2,355, -92] She's cute and charming, what's with all the criticism about her looks? How pretty are you haters? ㅠㅠ Mother, find strength. I support you.

2. [+1,241, -77] Chaeyeon and Chaeryung are pretty~ how much prettier do people expect them to be? ㅠ I'm a total jjang fan of Chaeyeon.

3. [+971, -78] Haters are only saying that because they haven't seen her in real life... she's so pretty and has an aura!! I only see her when she dances

4. [+536, -28] Just sue them

5. [+363, -124] I completely understand how upset the family must feel but she chose a job that puts her in the public eye. Obviously she's perfect in the eyes of her parents but this isn't a job where the only comments you'll get are praise, they need to remember that. You need to get used to the variety of comments you'll receive from the public and not get hurt by them. This is just the beginning and her mother is already losing her emotional control over a few comments saying she's not pretty. If her mother is already unstable like this, it only creates a worse environment for Chaeryung. I get her, I do, but this wasn't the best response for her to make.

6. [+585, -473] Yes, I understand why the mother's upset, but you win some you lose some. Just don't read the comments and keep a positive mind. It gets harder for Chaeryung if the mother's like this. Sometimes you need to learn that it's better to ignore things and move on.

7. [+100, -17] Sounds like the mother tried to hold it in as much as she could before writing the comment. Imagine how hurt she must feel reading comments putting down her daughter's looks.. Haters, please stop before you get sued.

8. [+101, -21] It's only been two weeks since her debut, I don't think anything good will come out of her mother responding to comments like this... I really don't like it when parents step in at their child's job. As long as the child works hard, time will solve everything ㅋ The mother's in such a rush;;; It's not that I don't understand her but this is a problem that every celebrity needs to learn how to deal with once they debut in the industry. Does the mother think other celebrity mothers don't have words of their own to say? They're choosing to stay quiet because they know that anything they say can come back to hurt their child, tsk tsk.
