Actress Seo Shin Ae opened up following rumors she was bullied by (G)I-DLE's Soojin in school.
After multiple statements by witnesses who say Seo Shin Ae was bullied by a group that Soojin was involved with during their school days, the actress took to Instagram to comment on the matter. She wrote:
"Your brilliant spring was a cold winter and bitter long night for me.
At the end of your summer, which seemed to last forever, I wondered why it was still winter. I tried to melt the snow in my heart and forget the piercing presence. My winter was not made alone, but I always needed a quiet fight alone to overcome it. I met friends and started doing things I had postponed. Though the occasional pale wind cracked, I was grateful just for this much.
Though it may not be easy to think about past seasons, I can't forget scenes from the past seasons. The temperature of the day, the smell of the day, the behavior of the day. I also thought about quietly cheering for your season, burying the memories in tears.
People's hearts are so selfish the melted snow froze and became icy every time.
That's why I even blamed my own ruined season. I thought that I should've tried to overcome a little more and try to act like nothing was wrong a little more. The more I did that, the more I felt jealous of your seasons because human's minds are so sly.
Though this fierce winter is not beautiful, my plum blossoms gave off a clear scene in the cold winter atmosphere. I felt too sorry for myself to fall down like this. I felt sorry for the people who shine the sun in my season. I have no reason to stay in winter anymore. Let's break the ice. If we can't melt it, let's break it down.
Only then did the sun feel lighter after a really long winter night. Looking around, even if the sharp wind blows, the ground, which had been stagnant, starts to harden little by little due to the melted snow. Soon a young spring sprout will sprout.
I want you, who might be still having a painful winter somewhere, that I am also shining a little sunshine for you. Because you're also living a truly glorious life."
What are your thoughts on Seo Shin Ae's post?
My interpretation of it is that she really was bullied by Soojin. She made her feel worthless. But that she is trying to heal even though it’s still painful. And that she is cheering her on. It’s honestly very beautifully written.
