The answers of BABYMONSTER’s Ahyeon and LE SSERAFIM’s Eunchae to a similar question received vastly different reactions.
Recently, “little Jennie” Ahyeon officially made her debut alongside BABYMONSTER with the title song “Sheesh” and the mini-album “BABYMONS7ER.” Returning to the lineup after a period of absence due to health reasons, Ahyeon immediately became a key factor. Since being introduced through the “Last Evaluation”, Ahyeon has been evaluated as the “trump card” of the YG’s rookie girl group, and is constantly proving herself even now.
Throughout the promotion of “Sheesh”, Ahyeon impresses by taking on important lines, appearing frequently on screen, and actively interacting with fans. Recently, Ahyeon became a hot topic in China for responding to 400 fan comments within just 2 days. Her ability to communicate in 3 languages including Korean, Chinese, and English also amazed the public.
So far, Ahyeon has received a flood of praise for exceptional communication skills at a young age. For instance, when a young fan mentioned having study pressure, Ahyeon’s response went viral on social media due to its tactfulness.
In particular, the female idol said, “I started as a trainee quite early, I used to think there’s no easy path. While I was practicing in the training room, you were studying diligently. It’s a path I’ve never taken, so I was hesitant and didn’t know what to say, but you’re doing great already! It’s great to see you care about your future. Today and tomorrow, I’ll always be here to support you.”
Netizens were thus deeply touched by Ahyeon’s sincerity and mature response.
On the other hand, the youngest member of LE SSERAFIM – Hong Eunchae, came under fire when responding to a fan sharing about their studies.
In particular, Eunchae was accused of having a somewhat sarcastic attitude when discussing fans’ experiences at school. Particular, a video shows the female idol saying, “You’ve been attending school for a while now, right? It must be quite challenging. Hang in there. You know how tough it can be, right?”, at the same time making aegyo gestures and using an unserious tone
This leads to numerous quote tweets in Korean and Japanese criticizing Hong Eunchae’s behavior, asserting that she was not being serious but rather ridiculing the notion of attending school.
