In the videos, Irene was seen playing around with her sun shades, making cute faces, completely in contrast with her “serious leader” public image.

While fans were happy to get glimpses of Irene’s cute side in her post, it unexpectedly ended up attracting hate comments as well. One viral post on Nate Pann in particular criticized her for “pretending to be cute at the age of an auntie.”

At the time of writing, the post has attracted over 88,000 views and hundreds of comments in fierce defense of the idol. Netizens laid it out clearly for the OP (original poster) why their post did not make any sense at all.

  • “But she’s just cute.”
  • “Because she is cute?”
  • “She really does look young for her age. Even when she acts cute, it doesn’t feel cringey at all.”
  • “She was born cute. What about it?”
  • “Whoa… Even at her age, Irene can still pull off acting cute… She’s just so adorable.”

While the OP’s post completely backfired, the absurdity of its ageism also highlighted how being a K-Pop idol can never be for the weak.
