After explaining that this was her second experience interviewing the actress after a difficult first meeting, Lee Se Young revealed, "I went in to greet her before the interview but she didn't acknowledge me. When I was about to begin, we noticed she was chewing gum. Another actor said, 'A, you should spit that out since we're in an interview,' and she asked, 'Ah, where should I spit it out?' I was determined to do well on this interview so I put my hand out and said, 'Spit it out here.' There wasn't enough time to ask for tissue and I wanted to make sure the vibe felt good. I held on to the gum in my hand for the entire 15 minutes but she was very good to me in the interview since."

1. [+496, -16] Isn't she the same person who got in trouble for groping male idols?
2. [+384, -8] But you told her to spit it out onto your hand
3. [+168, -4] ㅡㅡ This is not very truthful... You told her to spit it out onto your hand because you wanted to suck up to her.. and now you're calling it abusive?
4. [+82, -5] It feels wrong to call it abusive when you told her to spit it out onto you
5. [+35, -0] Okay but she only did that because you told her to. And what about when you groped the male idols?
6. [+20, -0] It was wrong of her to tell the actress to spit it out onto her hand, it was wrong of the actress to actually do so, and it's wrong of her now to come out with the story and call it abusive..
7. [+26, -9] I think the comments are idiotic. Just because someone tells you to stab them with a knife doesn't mean you actually do it. Even if she told the actress to spit it out onto her hand, the actress still should've asked for a piece of tissue instead. The actress is an adult, she should know basic etiquette.
8. [+19, -4] Guys, pause and think about this for a second. Isn't it weird to just spit out your gum onto someone's hand because they asked you to? Especially when you have your manager around and you can just ask for a piece of tissue instead?
9. [+11, -0] Isn't this the woman who groped B1A4 on 'SNL'? So it's fine for her to publicly grope people but she's kicking up this big of a fuss over some gum?
10. [+6, -0] It's unfortunate that happened to you but you told her to spit it out;;;
11. [+4, -0] Both parties sound stupid. The person asking for the gum to be spat out, and the other person for actually spitting it out like that.
12. [+4, -0] I will admit that our interview culture is way too strict. Everyone has to be so stiff and proper. If you watch American interviews, people are allowed to cross their legs, drink water whenever they want, or act spontaneously. Koreans sit there all stuff and speak like robots. Even when they take a sip of water, the camera pans away like they're drinking poison or something.
13. [+4, -1] It does feel wrong that the actress still spat it out just because someone told her to.. she could've solved this any other way ㅡㅡ
