A reporter was criticized for comparing the reasons behind Hyeri and Hani's tears.

Recently, Hani was targeted for frequently crying on TV. The idol star showed tears on 'Baek Jong Won's Top 3 Chef' after eating a croquette that reminded her of past days. She also shed tears on 'Star King' after overcoming her fear and completing a hard yoga position. Viewers claimed that her tears are disturbing, and bashed on her for crying too much.

On the contrary, Hyeri, who shed tears on 'Happy Together' while talking about imbalance in popularity among Girl's Day members, was not criticized, but rather shown support by netizens. A reporter then wrote an article comparing the tears of the two idol stars, and asked, "Hyeri and Hani, same tears but why the different perspectives?"

It was written that Hyeri and Hani both waited a long time for their stardom and might still have unknown hardships that struggle them inside. The reason behind their tears are not to make a show, but an uncontrollable expression of sincere emotions. Ultimately, the reporter claimed that Hyeri and Hani's tears are the same, and it is wrong to criticize one while the other is taken with acceptance.

However, netizens fired back with opposing views as they commented, "This is the first time I saw Hyeri cry on shows. Don't see the similarity at all", "Why did Hani cry after yoga? I really really don't get it", "Reporter trying hard to back up Hani. Did she pay you? Why are you doing this? I mean, is it possible to relate to her random tears at all?", "Crying for croquette, and yoga? She has issues" and more.

Netizens still have a very negative view towards Hani's tears. What are your thoughts on the Hyeri and Hani's comparison?
