'Witch Hunt's Kwak Jung Eun under fire for strange complaints about a taxi driver

Kwak Jung Eun, a permanent guest on 'Witch Hunt' and a sex columnist for Korea's 'Cosmopolitan', has come under fire for some of her tweets.


On the 22nd, she

, "I got in the taxi, and as soon as I got in, the driver asked if I was going somewhere nice for the weekend. When I answered that I was working, he replied, 'How can such a pretty princess like you go work?' I was going to go to the Seoul Station since I got on, but I'm going to get off in the middle and take the subway.

She received a lot of confusion and criticism about how that was bad, especially since it was a common and relatively courteous conversation that taxi drivers make with their guests. She 

, "I am so discouraged because people think that others who think differently are weird, and they think they can write anything they want hidden behind anonymity. But I won't stop Twitter just because of these people, because it's a precious media that has recorded my thoughts and daily life."

This isn't the first time the columnist has come under fire for her actions. Last year in November, she was on SBS' 'Magic Eye' where she said, "When I see Jang Gi Ha, I imagine about how he'd be like in bed," and caused a controversy for her potentially sexually harassing remark toward Jang Gi Ha. When faced with that controversy, she responded by writing, "The show was not live but something recorded over a week ago. The fault lies completely with the staff for not properly judging whether it was proper for broadcast or not."
