Shame on all of you who think that Tiffany did this intentionally. Yes, she made a mistake but because she was promoting in Japan for a while, she used that filter and I'm 100% sure that she did not intend to offend Korea/ Koreans in any way. Why would she do that anyway? She got fame, she gets loved and she is well known in Korea, she isn't an attention-whore to try and gain attention or 2mins fame from this. You know what disgusts me the most? She apologizes, yet K-netizens are hunting her down as if she killed billion of people. What about rape in Korea? What about Murder in Korea? What about animal-abuse in korea? What about bullying in Korea? what about blackmailing in Korea? Please fix those things first and do something about that before getting all sensitive and emotional about someone unintentionally having put a filter on snapchat which only lasts like 24 hrs maximum. Grow up K-netz, you really disgust me.

It wasn't a crime that Tiffany deserved all this. It is so unfair. I believed it was because of her unconscious mistake that she eventually realized when netizens started mocking at her. Tiffany had been a very good idol all this while; like how she try to deliver what she talk in all shows the best that she can. Why does Korean demanding her to leave the show?? DO YOU GUYS REALLY HATE HER OR IS IT BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIKE HER FROM THE START THAT YOU GUYS TRY TO FIND ANY POSSIBLE CHANCES TO GET RID OF HER?? I can imagine how hurt Tiffany at this time. She did apologize. What more that you want from her???

The K-Netizen Effect: Tiffany will become much more reserved, even moreso than Taeyeon has.
