    I understand the concerns of people since there have been news about staffs and extra actors getting positive while filming dramas/shows but it is so unneccessary to throw negativity to Cha Eun Woo himself. He didn’t mean any harm when he uploaded the picture. He wanted to thank all the staff and actresses/actors for their hard work, just showing genuine gratitude. It’s HIS instagram as well, he has the right to upload anything he wants even if it will not please every single person. He shouldn’t be the one to hear that he is being careless and irresponsible. The responsibility is on the crew who thought it was okay to all gather close to each other and take a picture without a mask even if they were all tested.

    People really need to release their frustration in a mature way instead of always choosing to attack other humans.. Makes me seriously lose so much faith in humanity..
