Minji: The video you sent me was so, so cute.
Hanni: I was making a lot of weird faces… and tears too, hahaha.
Minji: A lot of people… pic.twitter.com/UlMmiV2fs0— MHJ translation (@jaemgwan) October 18, 2024
Minji: Aw, I love the video that you sent me. That was very cute.
Hanni: Oh, ha!
Minji: Can I talk about it when we do behind-the-scenes?
Hanni: Yeah, sure.
Minji: Guys…
Hanni: I was making a lot of weird faces… and tears, too. Hahaha.
Minji: Well, a lot of people probably cried with you at that moment.
Hanni: I’m only human, so… I can cry, too. When the tears started flowing… It was funny. I mean, I knew it would happen. It was bound to happen. But I definitely noticed the camera shutters going off a lot more once I started crying, haha.
Minji: I only got to watch the beginning of your speech because I had a schedule to get to. So, as soon as I got done, I looked it up. And she was crying! There were tons of photos of her crying!
Hanni: Who took those photos?! Let’s have a little chat, hahaha.
Minji: I was like, “She cried?!”
Hanni: Yeah, I couldn’t help but cry, lol.
Minji: But in my heart, I was thinking, “That’s my girl! That’s my girl!” It looks like they’re saying they all cried, too.
When the clip was posted, it was hit with a lot of backlash as many netizens thought the members were treating it like a “performance” rather than an important event about a serious issue that many people are impacted by.
Basically admitting that the entire drama with the govt was pre planned, staged and those shamanic 🧙♀️ taught tears were for public sympathy! Well, it did backfire and it will ruin them even more.

If your friend said she cried and was crying because of traumatic experience why would you tell her GOOD JOB GO GIRL type of response?!!! Wouldn't she supposed to comfort her?! Why they acting like the audit was a show to gain sympathy (it was) but like why they admitting this 😭 https://t.co/ovD3EFMv3l

Why is she acting like she just went there to tour the building?? She was there for a serious allegation about bullying and they are LAUGHING at how much the camera shutters went off while she was crying? She shouldnt even be talking about this on a fan live. https://t.co/zycKJ9VuJz
