Netizens question Taeyeon’s sarcastic comment about Sunny’s birthday

Netizens have been abuzz with comments as they talk about the seemingly sarcastic comment Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon left regarding Sunny‘s early birthday celebration with SM Entertainment. 

On May 13th, Sunny had shared the gifts she had received for her 26th birthday from her friends, family, and agency, with her fans through her SNS accounts, uploading multiple pictures.

It was on one such photo that Taeyeon left her comment, writing: “Heol, all of SM’s staff, definitely niece Sunkyu *clap*”

Once the comment was captured by fans, they couldn’t stop talking about Taeyeon’s sarcasm and how they think she’s mocking Sunny for getting treated well on her birthday because of her relationship as Lee Soo Man’s niece.

Check out some of the netizen comments below:

1. [+682, -88] Only women know this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Taeyeon’s 100% being sarcastic, she’s seriously such a fox

2. [+496, -47] Why does she ruin her own image like this… she knows that what she said is perfect to stir controversy.

3. [+405, -52] Is she being sarcastic? Why does it make me feel bad hearing that?

4. [+241, -15] Definitely niece Sunkyu ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ she’s obviously mocking her saying you’re only getting those gifts from SM because you’re Lee Soo Man’s niece ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ niece Sunkyu ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+205, -8] What Taeyeon’s tone means is more like Sunny’s Lee Soo Man’s niece so “look at SM staff taking care of her, damn”

6. [+199, -13] Totally being sarcastic ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+166, -12] Taeyeon only says things that she knows will get her hate. Why can’t she just stay quiet or is she that stupid in the head even after getting all that hate?

8. [+140, -14] She’s crazy ㅋㅋㅋ proving once again that her head is absolutely empty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ daebak ㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+137, -11] I honestly don’t understand why Taeyeon has a lot of female fans… I can get men who like her because she’s pretty but why would a woman like her ㅋㅋㅋㅋ for her singing? just for her singing? Her personality is so bad, look at her acting like a fox to a fellow team like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

10. [+110, -12] Hul what’s that clapping emoticon too… totally mocking “niece Sunkyu” ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Goosebumps

11. [+94, -5] I don’t hate Taeyeon or like her but this totally sounds like being sarcastic to me

12. [+94, -11] Why can’t she just stay quiet..

13. [+91, -10] Interpret Taeyeon’s words as she wrote them. She’s basically saying Sunny’s only getting all these gifts because she’s Lee Soo Man’s niece ㅋㅋㅋㅋ She wrote this in a way that would obviously stir controversy, why are Taeyeon’s fans getting pissed when she started it?

14. [+67, -3] Is she being like this on purpose?

15. [+60, -4] To all of you asking why this is considered mocking her, go ask a woman who knows that Sunny is Lee Soo Man’s niece and ask her to interpret it for you

16. [+42, -5] She’s obviously being sarcastic… pointing out that she’s only getting those gifts from SM because she’s Lee Soo Man’s niece
