Amidst the news of Kim Saeron's passing at the age of 25, Dr. Na Jongho, a professor of Yale University's Department of Psychiatry, who gained recognition through his appearance on 'You Quiz on the Block,' expressed his condolences and pointed out, "Our society is like a giant 'Squid Game'"
On the 17th, Professor Na shared on his Facebook page, "While drunk driving is a very serious offense. A society that ostracizes someone because of a mistake without giving them a chance for redemption is definitely not a healthy society. The way our society abandons those who have made mistakes and moves on as if nothing happened is like a giant 'Squid Game'"
He continued, "I have a strong feeling that Kim Saeron's death was a death driven to the edge of a cliff. The last news I saw about her was an article about her working part-time jobs due to financial difficulties. I remember seeing her being tormented by all kinds of malicious comments, not only on the Internet but also at the café where she worked." He expressed his sadness by saying, "How many more lives must be lost before we stop creating an environment that imposes destructive shame without even giving people a chance to breathe? This is a time for social dialogue and reflection."
Professor Na first gained recognition through his appearance on tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' in 2023.
-I agree. If you don't like a celebrity, you can just not watch or listen to them. I don't understand why people think they have the right to tell celebrities whether or not they should be on TV.
-This is really heartbreaking.
-Recently, there were also people who got caught drunk driving. Yet, they still got to return to the industry just fine, or being defended by their fans, and acted like nothing happened......
-People always point out the dangerof malicious comments only after someone dies.
-Even now, if you look at the trending posts here on Theqoo, there are thousands of comments attacking a radio DJ. It's really scary how they don't seem to know when to stop...
-If you don't like a celebrity, just ignore them. I don't understand why they hate and even witch-hunt them. I feel like society is filled with distorted anger.
-I remember someone on Theqoo said her cafe part-time job was some kind of cosplay;;
-They bully one person until they die, and once that person dies, they move on to bully the next one.
-That's exactly what Theqoo does all the time.
-I really hope no more people have to lose their lives like this in the future...
-That's right. Our society is definitely sick.
-It feels like people these days are becoming numb even when they hear people dying, just like in 'Squid Game.' It's so cruel.
-Yes, that was too much. It's not like she was the only one who got caught drunk driving. Besides, there are people who continue their careers just fine even after they got caught using drugs.
-Seriously, leave celebrities alone. Stop leaving malicious comments.
-Seriously... Just ignore these celebrities instead of harassing them.
