South Korean actress Ha Yeon-soo has been known to portray characters like Seo Mi-oh in 4 Legendary Witches and Min Se-yi in Monstar and nominated for a best new actress for this. Although she rarely shows up on the TV screen and movies, she has an active social media account where fans can easily be updated.
But recently, one comment did not sit well with Ha Yeon-soo when one fan clarified a post she has shared. The post was created to sell a set of traditional Korean paintings that she had drawn.
The young actress shared a photo of her products and wrote, "I'm selling 'Flowers and Birds,' which I painted last year. They are rolls that can be placed on the wall." Ha Yeon-soo is into drawing and arts especially with only a few projects lined up.
Although it was indicated that she drew it, the fan did not understand and ask her once again. The fan wrote, "Did you paint these yourself?" with Ha Yeon-soo replying, "I'm bitter because this is a question I received 500 times. I wish everyone would acknowledge this now... yes. I've been drawing for over 20 years."
While it is true that this kind of comments can be exasperating at times, given that the answer is already in front of them, still there are proper ways to address one's frustration. And true enough, Ha Yeon-soo's reply also came back to her negatively, as her fans expressed their dismay for her bad attitude on social media.
Ha Yeon-soo received hate comments afterward, and some fans felt she was rude when she answered a seemingly polite question. For celebrities like her, they are always expected to be courteous, especially with their fans and social media account followers.
Netizens cannot hide their disapproval with Ha Yeon-soo's reply, and one wrote "Ha Yeon Soo did it again. Why did she always respond like this to fans who gave original questions? They weren't even haters. Why would she become a celebrity." While another suggested that her agency will "forbid" her to use social media because she is "too sensitive and irritable."
Back in 2016, Ha Yeon-soo experienced the same backlashing when she was rude and condescending to a polite commenter on Instagram. Netizens quickly thought that the Very Ordinary Couple star was accustomed to "think that she is the victim" and that it is expected that one should have to learn everything she does before giving a question. Right now, Ha Yeon-soo's Instagram account turns private after the incident.
