SNSD/ WONWOO

Wonwoo/ Girls Generation

So i'm pretty sure that everyone has heard of what happened regarding Wonwoo (as a flippin 12 year old!) and girls generation.
Since the surface of this rediculous scandal i have further become convinced that KPOP is crazy and i need out.
Wonwoo, despite not acctually having to, wrote a lovly appology:

His letter read,

Hello, this is Wonwoo.

First, I want to apologize for everyone who I have hurt by this situation. Instead of making excuses by saying they were foolish mistakes I made when I was young, or saying that I don't remember what I did, I believed that admitting my faults and apologizing was the right choice, which is why I'm writing this.

Even though I wrote it when I was young, it is definitely something I wrote, and I am sorry to the Girls' Generation sunbaenims, their fans, as well as Carats who were hurt by this. I am also sorry to the members, who worked hard together to become Seventeen together.

If I think about it now, I was so immature. I thought lightly about the stars on television, and I never thought about how the words I said would hurt other people.

During middle school, after I became a trainee to become Seventeen, I realized the weight that the people who stand on stage have to carry. I realized how many people work hard for one person to stand on stage. After I became Seventeen and stood on stage and learned what kind of feelings people have on stage, I realized the meaning of standing on stage. I sincerely felt how amazing it was for the Girls' Generation sunbaenims to stand on stage, and respected them. I also learned how responsible I have to be in this field with the fans' love. While getting attention from the public, I learned about the effects of a single post, and how the person reading it felt. Because of this, I am even more reflecting on my actions.

I don't dare ask for forgiveness. I only want to reflect endlessly about my actions and apologize to the Girls' Generation sunbaenims. Even when I look back on myself, the thoughtless posts were improper, and they were actions that could have hurt someone, so I can't even raise my head because I am so sorry.

I will work hard never to disappoint again. I will read all the criticism and advice on my immature actions and never forget them. Also, please continue to teach me. I apologize once again.

I am sorry.

However, he was 12 and, frankly, not wrong.
It is true that SNSD have done a lot of plastic surgery.
I'm not defending him; it was obvious he was a total idiot as a 12 year old and probably needed a good telling off yet now he is a well rounded, talented boy and shouldn't be bashed for something he said so long ago! He probably couldn't even remember!

I'm 100% sure some of the righteous sones who are attacking him have said worse as kids, Jesus,would you be willing to apologise for things you've said 8 years down the line?
Am i going to have to apologise for this in 2024?!
This is the most stupid scandal ever dragged up and i applaud him for being bigger than anyone who made this stupid thing an issue and just apologising like a respectable, well mannered young man.

In addition, if this is going to be made a giant issue i won't be shy to defend him; honestly i think this is so pathetic and won't have the whole of SVT suffer for stupid 12 y/o Wonwoo. He obviously has grown up a lot since then an bloomed into an amazing albeit annoying bias wrecker XD

Bring it on :) :) :) :) :)

Have a read through this forum if you want some more info on this dumb :

I agree with you 100%!! It's really not fair on him

Even if they did plastic surgery, no one should put someone else down because of superficial stuff like that.

I don't even know why this was revealed and honestly I find it is a stupid scandal. Recently, I started to like seventeen and I can't lie that he really deceived me as I am a Sone. As he said he was pretty immature and it's what I hate about his past, I'm disappointed to hear that he was a sheep who just follow the flow. Even if he didn't like them, I don't think it's right to act like that. People defends him because he was young and everybody does mistakes but I clearly can say he was totally wrong to do that. Yeah, it's true who can do mistakes at 12 but you still have some conscious and please think. I don't want people to find excuse for him, he was wrong, thats all, no need to say he was young. Good thing is he understood his mistakes and apologized. You said "It is true that SNSD have done a lot of plastic surgery" I laughed. Seriously, how can you know ? I'm not saying the contrary but they never said they did and photos means not so much, since they grown up alot and makeup helped. I was really disappointed in the past him and my own fandom (those who bashed him) but end of the story, happy to hear he grown up to be a good man.

But don't most K-pop idols have plastic surgery...? I mean I'm not condoning what he did or how he went about it but he has a right to an opinion and he was only a kid, we all do stupid things as kids..

I think we have to put ourselves in a twelve year olds mind. When I was twelve I thought people with plastic surgery were fake and deserved no respect (now I realize it is a choice and I support anyone is their decisions), and I said some really stupid things about artist I wasn't a fan of, (even though I do my best to speak no negativity now). Peoples mindsets change, I think it's obvious that Wonwoo's did. I used to hate Nicki Minaj, I thought she was fake and an awful artist; now that I'm matured, I think she's a powerful women and I quite like her music. Everybody was once an immature kid that said stupid things, you can't hold it against somebody their entire life and attempt to destroy their career. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you don't like Seventeen, don't listen to Seventeen. If you don't like SNSD, don't listen to SNSD. If you don't like them, don't speak ill of about them, just ignore them.

With regards to your point about apologising eight years down the line, I have apologised constantly for the past twenty years for something I did at the age of ten. And I will apologise for the rest of my life. So ... yes, I would apologise for something eight years down the line, if I did something wrong.
