Article: Kim Samuel, man who killed father arrested -> tears of mourning
Source: Sports Chosun via Naver
1. [+1,082, -58] Posting pictures to mourn = normal. Criticizing him for posting pictures = abnormal. His own father passed away, the person who's the most hurt in this scenario is obviously this guy. How dare you criticize his way of mourning? Mind your own business...
2. [+395, -9] May he rest in peace. I lost my father at a similar age so I can understand how he feels. I hope he overcomes this and comes back when he's ready. I support you.
3. [+362, -8] He merely wanted pictures of his last moments with his father. Whether he's wearing a hat or has his hand in his pocket, none of that changes the love and respect for his father. I'm sure he's acting natural, the way he would've had his father been alive. I find that better than people who go over the top with their grief just to put on a performance of how people expect someone in mourning to look.
4. [+172, -2] Find strength, Samuel
5. [+94, -4] May he rest in peace
6. [+27, -3] It's not normal to take a picture like this in front of your father's casket but I understand how he must be feeling. To want to remember every moment like this. People want to remember the happy moments when they were alive but there are some who also want to remember the final moments as well. And posting on SNS has become normalized in our generation, so.
7. [+22, -1] Find strength... I know it must be so hard for you now but... may he rest in peace. I hope your lawsuit with your agency is resolved as well. Hope to see you soon.
8. [+22, -3] Stuff like this is merely a difference in culture..; I see this as his way of memorializing his final moments with his father. So upsetting that he lost his father at an age where he needs him the most.

1. [+442, -93] How can you be sane enough to take a picture like this in this situation?
2. [+204, -30] His feelings and their relationship are more important than what's seen to the eye. It's his father's birthday and he chose to post a picture of themselves together... could there be anything sadder??? To think that you can't embrace your father no matter how much you want to... just see him for his mourning and stop criticizing him for wearing a hat or having his hand in his pocket.
3. [+216, -59] His father was murdered and he takes a picture like this? ㅋㅋ Jeez
4. [+145, -51] Weird. To me, it doesn't look like he's posing but rather in grief;;
5. [+37, -14] Hand in pocket?
6. [+27, -10] This is crazy, he really took pictures like that?? Did his mom make him??? That's not normal..
7. [+18, -5] I don't understand how you can take a picture next to your own parent's casket but to also pose like you're at some tourist attraction... with your hand in your pocket and your leg cocked like that...
8. [+9, -3] He's posing like he's showing off a new car~

1. [+1,382, -283] Wow... his father was murdered and he's really posting pictures of himself with his hand in his pocket, posing, with hashtags and all on Instagram... really daebak
2. [+778, -29] Apparently this is normal in Mexico or other foreign countries. Families will take pictures next to the casket as a way of remembering their last moments. I know it's not normal in our country's culture but it's disrespectful to go around saying that it's not "logical" or you don't "understand" it just because you think Korean culture is the standard. Every culture is a culture in its own right.
3. [+759, -120] But... am I the only one bothered by him taking a picture like that next to the casket...? I get that we're in a new generation but... pictures like this... feel wrong...
4. [+438, -100] ...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ His father's dead and yet... he's posting pictures on SNS
5. [+341, -71] Am I the only one bothered by these pictures?
6. [+115, -12] Samuel, find strength
7. [+100, -3] These pictures were taken after the official funeral. He did everything he had to in a black suit. These were taken before his father was buried. His father was murdered just two weeks ago, do you really want to be leaving hate comments for him right now?...
8. [+63, -8] I'm sure he took those pictures as a way to remember his last moments with his father
9. [+47, -7] What culture difference? He came to Korea before middle school, he's basically Korean at this point. He immigrated here when he was super young and went to Korean schools for elementary, junior, and high school. He's no different from Han Hyun Min.
