Netizens had mixed reactions to Hanni’s travels, especially amid everything going on.
- Seeing her happily traveling in Antarctica, it looked like she had no intention of coming back, but I guess she got anxious after seeing Haerin and Hyein.
- Don’t come back to Korea after Antarctica. Just go back to your own country, please.
- She’s living so carefree, I’m kind of jealous.
- Oh my.
- As expected, lol.
- What the hell.
- Looks like she has zero intention of coming back, lol. She’s traveling, rich, and living a fun life. I’m jealous.
- She really doesn’t look like she wants to come back.
International netizens also shared their thoughts, and some wondered why Hanni had traveled when the group was in the midst of a huge lawsuit.
why would u decide that a trip to fuckass antarctica would be the best course of action during the climax of the legal battle that will literally determine your fate for the next four years. who convinced u that was a smart idea.
