Earlier, we reported about how actress Kim Min Ji's graduation photos were a hot topic on the internet. It looks like things took a turn for the nasty, as the actress recently lashed out against the hateful comments made by netizens because of her past hairstyles. One style in particular is drawing a lot of attention, because it's characteristically known for being popular amongst 'iljins,' a type of rebellious, gang-like group in schools. On the morning of March 29th, Kim Min Ji wrote the following through her mini-homepage:
"Did I commit such an evil against society by having that hairstyle for my junior high school graduation photo? Did I kill someone? Just because I have that hairstyle, I'm suddenly an 'iljin' now? Because of this simple hairstyle, I've now become some kind of trashy street-gang member that should go die.�Seriously, in just one moment, I've become some kind of disgusting monster. I'm pursuing a career that I love. Is there a law that says I can't have that hair style when taking pictures?�Why do my parents need to be cursed at just because I chose such a hairstyle for my photo?�Did I commit such an evil against everyone?�Really... this, this is so hard. But you know what?�I'm not as tasteless as the people who judge someone without even knowing them, and treat them and their parents like trash over a hairstyle. Even when I had that hairstyle, I never treated someone like trash, nor did I say things that dug at their hearts. It's so easy for you all to kill someone, isn't it?"The post has since been deleted from her Cyworld. Source: Star News via Nate, Daily News via Nate
