!! Why are people hating on Sungmin?? What are they saying?
iām not sure if you know this already, but this postĀ gives a pretty good outline of events and what happened that caused K-ELFs to start hating on sungmin.
my own stance on the issue is that, yes, sungmin did screw up to some extent and i can see why the members and K-ELFs wouldāve been mad at him. he did block out his korean fans that were just trying to protect him and he handled the situationĀ badly. however, i think that going to the extent of telling him to leave super junior and shitting on him and his wife at every given opportunity is taking it too far.
the nonsensical Korean comments have lots of extra consonants and vowels so that it would be untranslatable, but if you know enough Korean, youāll be able to tell that itās complete gibberish and will be able to make out what theyāre trying to say. many of the comments are sarcastic, mocking ones begging him to leave SJ, telling him to grow a conscience, saying that they donāt want his face to plague the SMTOWN channel, etc.
iāve only learned Korean for a little more than half a year so i canāt read that much of the nonsense (some of them really go to lengths to make sure that itās super difficult to read so i cold only make out some of it), but i can read enough of it to tell what the comment is saying. butĀ iām sure there are worse comments. last night i reported about 20+ of these comments as harassment and bullying and iāve been upvoting the positive comments so that if sungmin sees it, at least heāll see that there are more people are rooting for him.
the saddest thing is that a lot of these commenters make it obvious that theyāreĀ āELFsā but they donāt act like one. the top 4 comments that i reported were all from a Korean user by the name ofĀ āELF SJā. it really pisses me off and saddens me to see all these rude, hateful comments that sungmin doesnāt deserve. i do think that he deserved the backlash at first but still, these comments are now just mean-spirited and overboard.
