Han Seung Yeon expressed her frustration with people’s expectations as to how she should feel and act in the wake of a loved one’s passing. January 7 KST, she wrote on her Instagram:

Let me ask one thing. This isn’t directed at netizens.

Does someone who’s lost a loved one have to stay at home and cry? It’s not even the case that I’m unstable, but if you can’t use me because you’re worried I’m going to be, then the least you can do is maintain common courtesy. If you’re going to change your mind as easily as you’d flip your palm, then at least be respectful.

How long is an appropriate time for me to do nothing?

Have you ever lost someone important to you?

You say to celebrities that they shouldn’t concern themselves with malicious comments, but do they concern you?
