1. [+4,127, -523] Karaokes require you to take temperature checks and write your name before entering. Businesses should be allowed to operate unless you expect them to stay closed and starve. Sports are gearing up to open back up as well. Until when are we going to live under the fear of "these times"?
2. [+4,090, -572] This shouldn't be controversial, karaokes are all allowed to be open. The journalist is overreacting.
3. [+3,825, -507] The journalist is making an issue out of nothing... I watched the live stream and didn't think there was anything problematic...
4. [+251, -38] This is why image is so important. Everyone's supporting them... but imagine if this was Kahi or Park Ji Yoon, people would be up in arms.
5. [+199, -57] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at everyone with their shields because it's Lee Hyori. What if it was Clara, who's hated by everyone? Everyone would be up in arms ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
6. [+174, -81] Fact: all karaokes are allowed to be open and are running temperature checks and name lists. There is no problem with what they did.
7. [+156, -47] Oh man ㅋㅋㅋ netizens are being so hypocritical ㅋㅋㅋ Why did Cha Eunwoo and his friends get all that hate for drinking with friends but Yoona and Lee Hyori are getting a pass when they went out to drinks and karaoke too? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I personally don't think either situation is problematic but if you're going to hate one situation, hate both equally. Lee Hyori shouldn't get a free pass ㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+140, -89] Why is this a problem? ㅋㅋㅋ Do you all not meet up with your friends? ㅋㅋ Everyone around me is seeing their friends... what is so "thoughtless" about this? ㅋㅋㅋ

Article: Lee Hyori, apologizes for 'drunken karaoke live' "In these times... I am deeply reflecting"

1. [+1,412, -247] Karaoke owners across the nation must think this is so ridiculous. The government has already ended social distancing measures and businesses have been granted permission to open as long as they perform sanitary cleanings and temperature checks. Everyone is going to karaokes with no problem. People are just mad..
2. [+1,342, -252] Is this really something to be reflecting over? I'm sure the karaoke they went to are disinfecting everything. Why are restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets okay but not karaokes?
3. [+1,175, -165] Aigoo, I'm a karaoke business owner and this is driving me crazy ㅠㅠ the government allowed us to open so we've invested in disinfecting equipment and expensive temperature checking equipment. We take names down as people come in. We are past the point of social distancing and businesses are opening up so this controversy is just taking things too far.
4. [+102, -32] I know karaokes are allowed to be open but a lot of the people around me are holding back no matter how badly they want to go... which should be the norm considering the times. Considering the influence that the two have, they shouldn't have live streamed the whole thing. Now people are going to think "Oh? we can go out to karaokes?" Are the people saying there's nothing wrong with this really that thoughtless? Even Lee Hyori herself has recognized that it was wrong and is apologizing for it.
5. [+98, -29] Fact: People are defending this only because it's Lee Hyori. Had it been Kahi or Bae Yoon Jung, they would've gotten a ton of hate.
6. [+83, -21] I wouldn't have cared if they kept it private but they live streamed the whole thing which I find to be thoughtless
7. [+65, -8] I'm sure there'd be no problem if they kept it quite but for someone so influential to stream the whole thing live is unnecessary.
8. [+59, -13] The Itaewon idols got hated to dust and were even demanded to be taken off their shows ㅋㅋ so why is it okay for Lee Hyori to live stream this? I'm so tired of the double standards.

1. [+389, -53] I think it's going too far to expect her to write a handwritten apology over going to a karaoke. There aer tons of people in restaurants and cafes without masks, and a lot of businesses like PC bangs and arcade rooms are all open. I don't get what the fuss is. These businesses are all disinfecting and running temperature checks.
2. [+356, -49] This isn't some drunk driving, drug, or sexual assault scandal... is this really something to be writing a handwritten apology over? I think they were both taken aback by the reactions because they're both so soft-hearted. You're both doing fine~ varieties have become fun to watch thanks to you. Yoona-ssi, don't beat yourself up too hard.. People are just very angry these days... We have to hope for this pandemic to pass and that people can start to loosen up a little.
3. [+274, -52] I'm in awe of how pretty she is in the article picture...;;; Anyway, as long as businesses are following prevention orders, anyone should be able to go out
4. [+49, -35] How can people not find this wrong? There are rising cases in the news these days... and everyone should be taking precautions until this is all over. I know you can't refrain from seeing your friends for drinks forever but she should know better as a public figure to be a role model for the people. It's because of your influence that you make the kind of money that you do.
5. [+43, -23] Going to the karaoke was fine, but with the influence that Lee Hyori and Yoona have, they shouldn't have streamed it live. And haters should only be allowed to hate if they haven't stepped out of the house so far.
