Actress
Lee Chae Young is currently under fire for
her degrading comment about an overweight woman she met. On June 16, she
tweeted, “Ahh. I was tired, so I went to Denny’s where I didn’t have to
drive~ I was waiting in line when…I saw a pink shadow of doom…My cell
phone is a Galaxy Note, and she looks a lot skinnier in the
picture…Really…Should I just leave instead of eating here?” She also
attached a photo she had secretly taken of the woman. She followed the
post with another tweet, writing, “I want to lose 10kg once I get to
Seoul. Thank you for the motivation.” The posts outraged many netizens,
and the topic became one of the hottest trending topics this past
weekend.
The tweets attracted tremendous negative attention, which led the
actress to remove the posts within a couple of hours. She also
apologized, writing, “I’m sorry…I believe I disappointed everyone with
my thoughtless remark, and my heart is heavy. I will take some time to
reflect on my actions. I’m really sorry.”
Netizens commented, “How rude and disrespectful,” “The comments were
bad enough, but the pictures? What was she thinking taking pictures of
someone else without their knowledge,” “I hope the women in the picture
never finds out about this incident. It’ll really hurt her,” “Shame on
you,” “Think before you tweet,” and more.
