K-netizens Debate On Whether Comments Defending Han So-hee Were Manipulated

On March 24, a post was made on the popular Korean forum Nate Pann with the title, “A strange phenomenon that appears in posts related to Han So-hee.”

This post mentioned another viral post on Pann criticizing Han So-hee for her recent “transit love” scandal with actor Ryu Jun-yeol. It claims that even though the viral post received 6 times more upvotes (which so more people agree with the post than people who don’t), its comment section was filled with comments defending Han with similar writing style. It raises a suspicion that these defending comments have been manipulated.

After only a day, this topic has gathered approximately 172,000 views on Pann. Many netizens have come to leave their opinions, most of which don’t think Han So-hee has manipulated the comments.

The public’s opinions are as follows:

“Then do people have to write malicious comments no matter what? Even though I’m not a fan of Han So-hee, I think she’s being overly criticized these days, so I just wanted her to be shielded even if she really manipulated the comments. LOL. So that people like you can get mad.”

“I’m sorry, but the malicious comments towards her in that post are also the same. Lol.”

“I think it’s been like this on Pann these days. I think Pann is ruined.”

“I really hate Korean’s universal character. How morally do they live and then try to bring down celebrities if they make a mistake? Why don’t you admit that it’s inferiority complex? Don’t try to bring them down through the gutter, but work hard to become a cool person. And Han So-hee’s fans had made a lot of supporting comments in the first place.”

“I think those defending comments will come here too”

“The malicious comments are fabricated in the first place… ^^”
