I'm tired of seeing her on every comercial, but this is seriously messed up. Hopefully she doesn't kill herself, even if Korean people deserve nothing less. This is taking rudeness to new lows.

I don't know anything about this actress, but from her picture she's quite cute. I find it fascinating that people go nuts over what was an attempt at anonymous donating to the poor. She wasn't even going for attention.

She's on a million different ads. The mr. Pizza one where she's "all done" and the washing machine one where the bed fills up with bubbles. I thought she was extremely popular too, evidentally not with some people.

Only in Korea does trying to make secret, charitable donations get you labeled a communist sympathizer. Jesus

That's pretty sad that pathetic fool is attacking her for her grandfather's beliefs.

I hear verbal attacks toward Japanese grandfathers everyday from my coworkers, friends, and students. It's not that shocking to me.

I fully agree. It's a crime to look cute and only what, 21 to boot? But man, some of the things that people can do...

They need to start handing down some serious financial judgements against these cyber bullies.

Koreans only understand discipline when it involves losing large amounts of cash.

She should auction off her eyebrows for charity. And yes, cyber bullying is bad.

It's not bad, it's a viable medium for Soth Korean to offer constructive and helpful criticism and save face at the same time.

They are the salt of the earth.

It's simple, jealousy runs rampant in this country. Any excuse and they are starting off on their soap boxes again.

No one ever seems to mention this, but:

Why the *beep* do people care about "cyber-bullying." That article only says people are making mean comments about her in the comments section of the articles. Until they take action directly against her (emailing campaign, harassment, stalking, physical confrontation, etc) it's just a bunch of jackoffs doing what jackoffs do on the internet. Why that would bother anyone, I have no idea. If their opinions mattered, they wouldn't be making them anonymously on the internet.
