  • Lastly, when I’m spending personal time
  • I get really taken aback when someone I’ve never met shoves their phones in my face.
  • I’d be so thankful if people were as nice and understanding as you, unnie.
  • Unnie, hurry, It’s time that you show your pretty feelings to us too.

  • “Rather than attack, she asks nicely like ‘I would be so thankful if you were understanding.’ That’s too nice to be an attack.”
  • “It must have been really difficult for her seeing how great she is at ignoring haters.”
  • “Rather than attack, she’s requesting nicely. She also cushioned her request so that fans don’t misunderstand her.”
  • “I think she’s talking to weird sasaengs. Jang Wonyoung is famous for her love for fans. She’s always posing for normal fans. Anyone can see that she is talking about sasaengs who are weird and push other fans.”
  • “That’s an attack? That tone? Have you guys not seen idols attack sasaengs? She speaks so nicely and she says she’d be grateful if sasaengs were as nice as her fans on Bubble so that there aren’t any misunderstandings.”
  • “How does she talk so nicely? I’m like ten years older than Wonyoung but I’m learning from her.”
  • “She’s not attacking them, but sasaengs deserve to be attacked.”
