- Have strength. If you repent, it is fine.
- Have strength, Fighting! Saeron Fighting!
- Have strength. Anyone can make mistakes!!
Other netizens, however, were not as understanding, stating, “How can you say it is ok?” “Drunk driving can be murder. We can’t let her off easy because she is a celebrity,” “Why are there so many hearts in the comment section of DUI apology?” “You should repent forever,” “This isn’t something that you can just apologize for and act as nothing happened,” and “Can’t believe there are people who can forgive drunk driving.”
- Can’t believe there are people who can forgive drunk driving.
- Goodbye… Sae Ron…
- To those who say this was a mistake and that it is fine, are you out of your mind? If someone got hurt from her drunk driving, will you still say it is fine? Stop spewing BS. Please repent forever Kim Sae Ron.
- How are people saying this is ok? Does this make sense?
