Hi guys, it's me SuperSecretive762! So today, Irene Bae was exposed for being a bully to the staff and I don't know what to think anymore. Should I still support her? You guys probably don't know what happened recently, so let me give the backstory on this situation. So Kang Kook Hwa, a renowned photoshoot editor exposed a kpop idol for being extremely mean to her in  lenghty instagram post. Check it out here!

"Looking at articles about Heather Cho, who is the epitome of a 'sociopath' when she created the infamous peanut incident in which she made an airplane with 250 passengers return to the airport over some peanuts, also the article about the psychopathic elementary school daughter of Bang Jung Ho, the former president of TV Chosun, who abused her power and cursed at her 50-year-old chauffeur.

I came to wonder how an individual is raised to become like that. I've been deeply thinking about it, but today, I've been thoroughly trampled by this one person, and I became the position of the abused. Proven to be disqualified from being human + a puppet living behind a smiling mask + known to be a warm person by friends + an 'adult child' who lacks character + has a sense of entitlement + has the stupidity that reveals all the deficiencies transparently to the person they meet for the first time. 

I should have prepared myself from the stories I've heard before I met her. But today, I became speechless as this person stung me with her words that are like electric needles. I had no choice but to stand still with my hands, feet, and even my brain tied together. I had to stand still in front of that repulsive face that was hysterically throwing a fit at me. I had to stand there like a fool without anything I could do. 

This person did not give me time to understand the situation or even seek understanding from this person. This person didn't even give me a chance to explain because she can't hear anything. I've experienced all sorts of people in this field for 15 years. I thought I had experienced everything in life and thought I had let everything go, but I was wrong. I experienced hell for 20 minutes in an unfamiliar room.

This person skipped the greeting and sat right down as this person began spewing insults at my face with her cellphone pointed at me. This person was so emotional that you couldn't know if she's talking to everyone in the room or just me. But either way, the target today was me. I wondered, 'I guess other people experienced this too? They are experiencing it, right?' The knife from did not stop as I have been stabbed multiple times by her words, and only tears rolled down my face.

I wasn't even in the right mind to feel embarrassed that I was crying; tears just came out. What am I doing this for? Who am I doing this for? What do I want to show? Is it to earn money? Who chose me? Did someone ask for a favor? Why am I going through such an insult?! I thought deeply about this but could not understand her actions. I calmed down, and I wanted to talk to her person to person like a normal human being. And I wanted an apology. But she just disappeared.

I recorded everything, just in case something else would happen. I should take action against this lady. I will state the exact facts through my words. I was an editor paid to work and was a writer. I'm going to use all my energy and use my brain smartly and cleverly from now on. It's been a long time since I felt revenge be a catalyst #psycho #monster"

So pretty much, this Instagram post was tagged #pyscho and #monster which we all know are Red Velvet songs. People thought that this person could possibly be Irene or Seulgi, but netizens argued with that saying that the same editor even praised Irene's beauty and said she loved the song Monster. However, this post was deleted right after this post came out.

Many people pointed to Irene because we all know that Seulgi is one of the nicest people in kpop, however things really got messy when Red Velvet's former stylist liked the post. Things were getting really messy for her and the editor said many people were silenced and couldn't speak out about the mistreatment they faced. Then soon after, Irene apologized for her actions in this Instagram post below.

This is Irene. I sincerely apologize for hurting the stylist with my foolish attitude and careless words and actions. I received a lot of help from people who gave their effort for me to get to where I am now, and I regret that I hurt them greatly with my immature behavior. This incident has made me look back on the past, and I'm very ashamed of my poor words and actions, and I feel the importance of staff members once again. I'll think and act more carefully, so this does not happen again. I'm truly sorry to the fans who support me and for causing worry because of this incident.

SM also made a statement on this situation saying that Irene apologized to the staff for how she treated them in the past. Check it out here! Honestly I applaud SM for actually releasing a statement on this situation, because we all know how trashy they are when it comes to managing their female idols especially f(x) and SNSD when Jessica and Sulli left the group.

This is SM Entertainment. We would like to comment on the stylist's post online about Irene.

Irene sincerely apologized for the deep hurt she caused to the stylist because of her carelessness and emotional behavior when she met with her this afternoon, and she's sorry for causing concern to many people with her immature behavior. 

We also feel responsible for this, and we'll not forget the hard work of all the people and staff who collaborate with us and our artists, and we'll try to prevent this from happening again to everyone who works with us.

Once again, we apologize for causing concern.

Do you accept think Irene is truly sorry for her actions? I don't know what to think anymore, because Irene truly seemed to be a well spoken and mature woman, but I guess we were all fooled. I think that Irene apologized for damage control, because the editor said that she recorded Irene yelling at her and being mean and she won't be afraid to expose and possibly ruin her career. I truly hope she is going to learn from her actions.

However, what irks me is the fact that many other staff members supported the post that was exposing Irene. I don't know, I have Irene in two of my fanfictions (The Brightest Star and The Curse of the Cupid) Should I change her name to something else? I don't know, what are your opinions on this situation because I love Red Velvet and Irene used to be my bias. Will you still support Irene and Red Velvet? I swear, people better not be hating on Red Velvet for Irene's actions.
