  • Choi Yeon-soo, daughter of celebrity chef Choi Hyun-seok and wife of Dickpunx member Kim Tae-hyun, has publicly exposed malicious comments she received.
  • The comments questioned the weight of her newborn baby, suggesting it was born prematurely due to being too small.
  • Choi Yeon-soo shared a screenshot of the message, highlighting the hurtful nature of the online abuse.

It is deeply disheartening to witness the relentless online harassment faced by public figures, and Choi Yeon-soo, the daughter of renowned chef Choi Hyun-seok and wife of Dickpunx's Kim Tae-hyun, is the latest victim. She recently took to her social media to expose a particularly cruel and invasive message from a netizen, which cruelly speculated about the health and birth circumstances of her newborn.

The message, which Choi Yeon-soo felt compelled to share, questioned whether her baby was born weighing only 2kg, implying a premature birth between 32 and 35 weeks. This insensitive inquiry, disguised as a comment, is a stark reminder of the intrusive and often baseless judgments individuals face online, especially after major life events like childbirth. It's a violation of privacy and a display of appalling lack of empathy.

By 'preserving' this malicious comment, Choi Yeon-soo is not only calling out the perpetrator but also shedding light on the toxic environment that can exist online. This act serves as a powerful statement against cyberbullying and the spread of harmful gossip. While international media might focus on the celebrity aspect, for us in Korea, this is a deeply personal issue that highlights the need for greater digital etiquette and respect for individuals' privacy, particularly during vulnerable times. We stand with Choi Yeon-soo and condemn such baseless and hurtful attacks.

Wow, babies these days are born at 2kg. So, they are usually forcibly delivered between 32 and 35 weeks? No wonder.
