The controversy about Irene treating a fashion stylist badly has not been discussed for a long time. But the stylist suddenly posted an Instagram story revealing that he would sue people.
The stylist known as Kang Kook Hwa wrote, "I've endured enough, something like that won't happen again. I've prepared everything to file a lawsuit next week."
"This is just the beginning. I have gathered all the evidence and also met with my lawyer twice. We don't need your money, and there will be no more haggling," he continued.
Stylist Kang added, "You should feel ashamed. I won't stay silent anymore. I've tried to hold back once, but I won't do the same this time. I won't give up until the end. Just wait and see."
After Irene's attitude scandal, some fans flooded stylist Kang's Instagram account with malicious comments, forcing her to change her ID name. Now, the stylist's name is not mentioned in the related post to avoid inconvenience to her.
Irene's fans have expressed mixed opinions about the stylist's post. Some believe that since the stylist did not mention Irene because the attitude controversy has been resolved, this issue is not related to Irene. Meanwhile, others raised suspicions that another controversial artist.
Back in October 2020, social media was in a stir when a stylist posted on Instagram accusing a female idol of bad behavior and verbally assaulting a staff member for 20 minutes during business hours. Irene was immediately suspected of being the female idol in question.
Stylist Kang's posts are also liked by many well-known colleagues in the industry. SM then discussed the incident, and Irene also posted a letter admitting her guilt and apologizing on her Instagram account.
After that, Kang's stylist announced that he had received a direct apology from Irene and decided to forgive the Red Velvet leader. But netizens still continued to criticize Irene even though many industry insiders who worked with the female idol spoke up to defend her.
Irene had no choice but to stop her activities and go on hiatus after the scandal. Many brands have even deleted photos of Irene so as not to be negatively affected.
It was only in August this year that Irene began to be active again and officially made a comeback with Red Velvet. After "Queendom" was released, the public's reaction to Irene was quite positive. The 1991-born idol has now returned to his activities as before. (wk/chus)
