So the Koreans hate on the one that has some actual talent with a not so stand out personality that obviously loves what she's doing, and then praise the one with little talent and "interesting" personality (I really still don't see what the big deal about this girl is besides getting praise for her "omona.")
But the thing that makes me laugh the most is that they're hating on her because she drank with their producer or whatever he is to them?
Give me a break. She's of age, what is the big deal? Koreans like to get drunk off their minds anyways. >_>
100% agreed.
The native fans have always favored So Hee for some reason... all she had to do was that "omona" and she was gold. I don't have any personal problem with her, but at the same time it bothers me that other really hard-working, talented members are over-looked while she is held up and praised. I read somewhere once that it may simply be a matter of age and cute/sexy image, that Korean fans are drawn to the more "cutesey", young members, like So Hee and Sun Mi, while the older, sexy members like Sun Ye, Ye Eun, and Yoo Bin will fall behind into a secondary spotlight, no matter who can sing or not. Who knows, though.
I will say though that it might be to So Hee's credit that she had a supporting role in that movie, Some Like it Hot. It might have helped boost her above the rest of the girls. I thought it was a good movie and that she was good in it, but I don't actually know how Koreans felt about it.
They didn't even get drunk! They said they had little amounts of what they did drink and it's apparently a tradition that when people "come of age", their parents introduce them to drinking. Well, they're very close to JYP. He's at LEAST like an older brother to them, in some ways. So it isn't as if some random man took them out drinking. It was someone they could trust to take care of them, like family. There's just such a double standard going on here: it's fine if the fans do what they want (which I'm sure they do to their heart's content), but not the artists.
