Lee Hyori has become a hot topic because of former AOA member Jimin.
On September 15, news came out that Jimin would cover Lee Hyori's hit song "U-Go-Girl" on JTBC's "Another Universe". The reason for her choice is surprising netizens.
On the same day, a post about Lee Hyori began trending on Instiz's community board under the title, "Lee Hyori by AOA Jimin'S Side… A Story About How She Helped A Hoobae In Her Difficulat Times".
The netizen who wrote the post stated, "According to OSEN, Lee Hyori was the first person to message Jimin when she was going through her hardest time. Even though they didn't know each other before, Lee Hyori was sad for her hoobae and tried to help. Jimin dropped everything and flew to Jeju Island, where she lived with Lee Hyori and got back her strength".
Meanwhile, other netizens quickly responded with positive comments praising Lee Hyori for saving Jimin's life:
Wow… I knew that she didn't have a lot of close friends, but Lee Hyori reaching out to her first was such a sweet thing to do ㅠㅠㅠㅠ.
Wow, Lee Hyori is really cool.
Lee Hyori truly saved someone's life.
I hope that Jimin does well.
Even with Jimin's mistakes, Lee Hyori is by far the better person.
Putting aside the controversy, this action probably saved someone's life ㅎ..
Despite the positive comments, some netizens still have mixed reaction about Jimin receiving sympathy:
But…Why?
She has no reason to help her. Jimin has already become the bad guy in the entertainment business, and everyone knew it, right? Why wouldn't she just try to get in touch with her as someone who has been in a girl group before? If there are problems while promoting, it doesn't mean that one person has to be the aggressor and the other the victim.
Honestly, we could have ki*led someone. People did hurt her, that's true. People ganged up on her because they thought the other side was telling the truth. It's funny to see the general opinion suddenly change.
Huh…? But isn't Jimin the one who did this?
