Me:

—

A beautiful, bubbly, lively kid full of innocent passion who grew up too fast in the harsh lights of the Korean pop industry.

I still can recall her wide eyed, definitely nervous look during their debut stage. Her sweet live vocals coupled with powerful dancing and charming cheek whiskers whenever she smiles made her easily one of the most beloved maknae of her generation.

Others will say she messed up as a grown woman while others will argue that she showed the conservative SK audience that women can do whatever they want and sexism doesn't have a place in society.

Others will accuse her of being an attention wh*re while others will say the admire her for her strength, confidence and candor.

However you feel about her, let's remember her with respect and treat everyone who is mourning for her passing with care and civility.

May her soul rest in peace and may those who mourn for her find comfort with one another.
