Can we not be ageist haters, please?

An October 30th post on an online portal entitled 'Lee Young Ae, who is as much like an oxygen as always,' has garnered attention not for the actual post but for all the negative comments it brought in for some reason.  The post showed a picture of a glowing, smiling Lee Young Ae, looking as gorgeous and youthful as ever, but this has somehow brought on hate from netizens.

They made fun of the phrase "like an oxygen," and said mean things that attacked her age (which turned out only to be 44 - you'd think she was over 60 from the way they were going on, and even if she were, who cares) and even attacked her family.  They wrote, "What kind of bullshit is this on a nice morning? This is trash journalism. She looks like sulphuric acid gas," "Isn't it a peculiar preference to like an old person?" "A woman who met a rich man," and more.

Other netizens fired back, stating, "You're free to like or dislike Lee Young Ae, but writing such malicious comments is an insult to character," "Does writing such malicious comments like this make that person happy inside?" and more.  What are your thoughts?
