Netizens’ Reactions

Why should she be apologizing for her mother’s actions?

Don’t drag #HanSohee, please #Kmedia & why should she be apologizing for her mother’s actions?

I feel bad for Han So Hee, this must be tough on her.

If any of you are a fan of hers, you’d know she had to pay off her mom’s debt & was having issues with it building up. Which is her personal life & sad they’re using it to make headlines. Many families struggle with families who are gambling addicts. I hope she is ok & supported.

This girl has enough problems already, why is her own family contributing???? They’re so detached from reality.

This mom has been making her daughter’s life difficult since she was young.

I feel so sorry for her. Didn’t she help her mom before? She was raised by her grandmother, so why is her mom using her name now?

Anyone can easily find out that she’s been estranged from her mom for a while. She was raised by her grandmother. The media is going too far.

But she publicly cut ties with her mom a long time ago… why is the news still saying she’s Han So Hee’s mom?

Her mom didn’t even raise her… so why is she causing trouble and making headlines now?
