Yoona and Lee Hyori were criticized for having fun at a karaoke venue not wearing masks when the pandemic was not over. This Problem Receives Different Reactions From Netizens.
Lee Hyori and Yoona Girls' Generation drew criticism after the live broadcast showed them at the karaoke venue, not wearing masks when the Corona or COVID-19 virus pandemic was not over. This problem receives a different reaction from netizens.
At present in South Korea, there are about 45 new cases per day. The government continues to promote social distance measures as well as wearing masks on public transportation. While restaurants and bars are open, all bars and many restaurants require visitors to leave their contact information, in case a case is confirmed, their location can be tracked.
Seeing this policy, netizens assume Lee Hyori and Yoona did nothing wrong by going to a karaoke place. Netizens accused the public's reaction of being too excessive. But some netizens rated this problem as the gang's 97 visit to Itaewon which made them totally criticized.
Back in May, Dispatch reported visits by four 1997-born idol gang members, Jungkook BTS (Bangtan Boys), Cha Eunwoo ASTRO, Jaehyun NCT 127 and Mingyu Seventeen (II). At that time Itaewon became the most avoided place because of the COVID-19 case, while the 97th gang was criticized because it was considered to ignore the recommended social distance to prevent the spread of the virus. Four of them have admitted their mistakes and apologized.
"Karaoke requires you to do a temperature check and write your name before entering. Business must be permitted to operate unless you expect it to remain closed and starving. Sports are prepared to reopen too. Until when will we live under fear?"
"This does not deserve to be called controversial, all karaoke is allowed to be opened. Reporters overreact."
"Reporters make trouble out of nothing. I watch the live broadcast and don't think there is a problem."
"The fact is all karaoke is allowed to open and run temperature checks and checklists. There is no problem with what they do."
"Look at everyone defending them because it's Lee Hyori. What if it's Clara or whoever everyone hates? Everyone will take up arms."
"This is why the image is very important. Everyone defends them, but imagine if this is Kahi or Park Ji Yoon, people will raise their hands."
"You're all being very hypocritical. Why does Cha Eunwoo and her friends get all the hatred for drinking together but Yoona and Lee Hyori get permission when they go out for drinks and karaoke too? I personally don't think the two situations are problematic, but if you guys will hate one situation, hate both of them too. Lee Hyori shouldn't get a free entry permit. "
"I know karaoke is allowed to open, but many people around me hold back no matter how bad they want to go which should be the norm given the current conditions. Considering the influence the two have, they should be more careful. Now people will think, 'Oh? Can we go to karaoke? ' Are people saying there is nothing wrong with this? Even Lee Hyori himself has admitted that it's wrong and apologizes for it. "
"Itaewon's idols are hated to dust and even asked to be removed from their appearance. So why is it okay for Lee Hyori to do this? I'm so fed up with double standards."
"I'm just sorry for the gang of 97 who are hated for going out drinking together while Lee Hyori and Yoona get all this defense."
Meanwhile, both SM Entertainment and ESteem Entertainment have not responded to this problem. But Yoona and Lee Hyori shared a post on Instagram on July 2, apologizing for what happened.
