[ASKKPOP] ELSIE (Eunjung) talks about a netizen comment + the topic of her crying on '4 Things Show'
ELSIEorT-ara'sEunjungrecently sat down withOSENat a cafe for a personal interview. She talked about a certain online comment that stood out to her and thenews about her crying on '4 Things Show'.
About online comments, Eunjung said, "I read them a lot. I look at them often. When I feel like my emotions will be okay that day, I read a lot and if I feel like I'll fall apart, I avoid reading them."
When asked what the most hurtful online comment towards her was, she replied, "It's not a comment that scarred me but I saw this comment that said 'You're like a weed.' Strangely, I accepted that comment. I gave a nod in agreement. Of course it's not a gorgeous flower but I think it's true. My situation persistently keeps coming out to the point I think it's coming out too often. I'm thankful to be called to come to broadcast stations and appear in this [show] or that [show]. Even if I'm called a weed, I want to go to wherever I'm called," she said as she laughed.
OSEN then stated to her, "Recently your appearance in '4 Things Show' became a big news item."Eunjung admitted, "It showed me crying. I'm wondering why I cried then, and I thought it would have been nice if that didn't make it into broadcast. It was an interview after filming so it was a place to speak comfortably. I cried without even realizing it at first. I think I talked about a lot of things that could create misunderstanding so I was upset and sad. It wasn't like that, but it came out like that because of my tears. I already cried so I can't do anything about it now but I do wonder why I did that. If I knew that it would come out like that, I would have been more careful. I came out on my own so I did most of the talking so I put a lot of care into it."
She was then asked why she cried. Eunjung replied, "It wasn't because of any specific thing but the filming itself was so much fun and made me happy that I cried. To be honest, in front of me [behind the cameras], the writer unni and director cried too. It was a place with only women and we all cried. When I saw them cry, I cried too. I had said, 'I'm so happy that I was able to film so comfortably, thank you. Thank you so much for letting me film without worrying whether I would receive hate comments or not.' When the writer and director heard that, they started crying and I burst out crying too. But I still can't tell you the exact reason of why I cried."
OSEN said, "It seems like you cry easily."Eunjung replied, "When I receive hate comments or when I'm sad, I don't cry that much, but I do cry when I'm happy or joyful. I think this makes me sound pitiful. What I was really feeling was that. Honestly, I was thinking that way too but I didn't know they would bring it up. Since it's a reality show we talked for several days and I saw them as comfortable unnis, so I talked very naturally. I temporarily forgot that I was a celebrity and that there were cameras," she said as she laughed.
We hope Eunjung only has happy tears from now on! What do you think about what she said?
