Let me interpret the tweet that 24 posted on the official Twitter account:
'If you can't afford to buy me something like this, know your place, stay quiet in the corner of your room, and just buy Objekts instead.'
Comment #1: What kind of feedback do you guys expect her to give after these incels throw a fit just because she ate expensive food? It's not like they're her boyfriend
ㄴOP's reply: She probably won't apologize, but I bet she won't post something like this again in the future.
Comment #2: Why should she apologize for posting pictures of her meal?ㅋㅋㅋ You're such a headache.
Let's just think about it simply. The reason why fans become fans is because of (the idols)' realistic side.
Would fans prefer to see her eating the same things we do like Gukbap? Or would fans prefer to see her eating asparagus, something that they have never even seen in real life, and two pieces of meat that cost 80,000 KRW?
The answer is obvious, right?
Of course, it's not like they'd criticize her, stop being a fan, or stop buying Objekts just because she eats pasta. But it's natural for fans to like her less after this.
I'm saying this just in case she sees this post, but you really need to get your act together, Yeonji-ya. It seems like you've completely forgotten about the struggles you went through when you first left your hometown and moved to the city until early 2023. You used to be so different. Now it seems like you're just spending money on shopping and don't seem to be practicing as much. It feels like you're not as desperate and motivated anymore.
Fans can only point out these things for so long, but you can't expect people to value you the same way forever. Despite showing no improvements in singing and dancing, fans willingly took on the risk and believed in you based. on the testimonies of your fellow members who claimed that you've improved. Do you even realize how incredible that is? And they did it all of this on your birthday too.
Since you're an idol, you should be putting in twice as much effort to improve yourself in order to overcome the criticism you're facing. However, you seem too relaxed compared to the others. Honestly, it's disappointing.
As a fan, I might not know the full picture, but your recent interactions with fans and live performances have been disappointing. You keep getting criticized for your tone, skills, and communications with fans. Especially considering how you cried at the end of the last live broadcast you did in 2023 with the other members, you even shed tears because you were so grateful to your Unnies. I hope you'll take a moment to think how much you've changed in just a year.
And, to be a bit cold and harsh, I want you to know that the fandom doesn't always look at you positively. Of course, there are fans who don't feel this way, but how many people truly believe that you're where you are today solely because of your hard work and talent?
It was a moment of choice, an opportunity, and a bit of luck. Even if it's too late now, I hope you won't disappoint the fans who support you. With 2025 ahead, treat this as a fresh start. I hope you'll take your role as an idol more seriously, work harder, and look up to the talented members of the group. Show us your dedication, Yeonji-ya. Please, I'm begging you.
-Manipulation
-It's easy to appease the people here
-It's a real luxury
-I quit Fromm because 24 keeps flexing things and I f*cking hate it
-Public opinion really is scary
-Huh? Jang XX?
-Let's just support the ones who are humble and eat simple food
-50,000 KRW for a meal.
-These broke-ass losers... Go out and buy yourself steak for once...
-Steak is considered a luxury...? I mean... What the f*ck? How old are they??
-Anyone can eat steak... It's something that regular people eat too.. Just go out and buy yourself a steak...
-Incels are hopeless. They're filled with nothing but inferiority complexes. Tsk tsk.
-Seriously, why are they like that?
-Whoa... They're such a dumbass that I'm at a loss for words.
-If you're a sane, true fan, shouldn't you be happy that your idol is eating well and enjoying good food?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's pathetic. They're so delusional that they think celebrities are their girlfriends. They're just being jealous because they can't even afford steak. So pitiful.
-They're afraid of a woman they can't control... Oh Goshㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Doesn't this group actually have many international fangirls? These fanboys don't even spend their money on the group anyway... They're useless.
-Are they crazy? Have they never had steak in their entire lives?
-These dumbassesㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's so f*cking obvious that they don't even have female friendsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They're just jealous because they're broke and incapable.
-Go out and eat some steak yourselves. You're so pathetic, I can't...
-Imagine living a life where a single picture of steak triggers your insecurities.
