"Honestly, not all idols can admit their mistakes and maintain their clean reputation.I am disappointed but I appreciate Irene's sincerity towards this issue.She apologized not only to the stylist but also to her fans, and I think that's more than enough," wrote the account @stupefysoshi.

"I don't know what I feel. I am grateful that she apologized and didn't wait for this issue to become bigger. Not everyone has the courage to admit their mistakes in public. You apologized and I know you have learned from your mistakes. Still my best girl, Irene," wrote the account @johoneyybee.

"Thank you for being mature and immediately apologizing. Facing it with maturity and showing it in public is not easy. It makes us fight for you even more," wrote the account @Baejoohyunews.

"I am not a ReveLuv but I support Irene. I acknowledge her willingness to speak up about this issue, which means she is sincere. Please understand the situation as well. She is a woman and a human," wrote the account @forlesyeux.

2. One Mistake

Instead of 'canceling' Irene, many netizens and fans showed understanding and concern while encouraging others to do the same. They believe that one mistake Irene made does not define her character as a human.

Irene’s also a human she makes mistakes she’s not perfect and one mistake does not define a person's character. It’s how you learn from that mistake and never doing that again.

"Let's be realistic, personally I am not 'disappointed' in Irene because we have all been in a similar position. The difference is, we were lucky enough not to be exposed to the whole world. Having a bad day is something human," wrote the account @reveluxe.

"Irene is also human, she makes mistakes. She is not perfect and one mistake does not reflect a person's character. It's about how you learn from mistakes and don't repeat them," wrote the account @kimjenknee.

"In Light Up The Sky, Jennie said, 'on certain days, just like anyone else, you feel very happy. And on other days, you feel sad. ' Irene might not be in a good mood that day, she is a human and most importantly she has learned from this problem and admitted everything,' wrote account @lovesckjennie.
