-Why are they taking it on netizens when Kim Saeron was the one who posted the picture?
-So... She accidentally posted not even a recent photo, but an old one??
-He looks drunk in that picture. They probably took a selfie during a company dinner. The question is, why did Kim Saeron post an old picture of them? I don't get it.
-It reminds me of that picture of IU and Eunhyuk. The pose looks so similar. I don't understand why Kim Saeron posted it in the first place.
-"The intentions behind Kim Saeron's actions are completely unclear"ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Didn't she delete it 3 minutes after posting that?? I don't like Kim Saeron either, but can't we just take it as an accident?? This is getting exhausting.
-The company did well in explaining the whole situation and all they did was to announce that they would be taking legal action. Why are there so many upset people in the comments?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I feel so bad for Kim Soohyun. What the heck is this?
-Kim Saeron is at it again...
-???? I couldn't care less about their relationship. I just think the picture looks very weird.
-It's obvious that Kim Saeron did that to drag Kim Soohyun downㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I'm just curious about the reason why Kim Saeron posted that picture out of the blue
-I think they should sue Kim Saeron insteadㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-She's just envious that an actor she was in the same company with is doing well right now, so she did that to drag him down.
-I know the company must be really pissed off just by reading that announcementㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
