6. [+748, -260] How old is she and why is she being witch hunted like this? If she's a '97er, she's just barely over 20 years old. Please draw the line here. It's normal at that age to be a tryhard, to make big mistakes. It's how you grow and learn. You all are going to kill a kid at this rate. I'm sure she's learned from her mistakes so stop witch hunting her. I'm actually worried about this kid now.

Finally a sensible soul ffs

there are way bigger issues than what she is doing,people are being so cruel to her over scraps

I get being mad (intensity debatable) but isn't this just nitpicking... well duh she isn't natural and I don't think she ever tried to say otherwise, plus why would a korean person be pro china this doesnt make any sense

Edit: I'm double reading it again but he meant as in she doesnt look like her makeup self? Like how weird can you be

cmon, im sure she didn't do the subtitles herself.....

at this point it just ridiculous and im not even a fan of this girl

I wouldn’t call it sensible considering they’re making it seem like Freezia is a child who didn’t know any better. She’s 24 years old, graduated college, and has been a beauty & lifestyle blogger for two years with millions of subscribers and followers. Her posting 200+ photos on social media featuring fake designer outfit was not a mistake. It was a deliberate attempt to fraud viewers and sponsors into thinking she was a legitimate rich socialite.

Also she has a Chinese sponsor that pays her. That’s why people think she thought she wouldn’t get caught wearing fakes since China it’s common and rampant to wear fake designer labels.

Edit: but yeah this chinese vlog issue thing is nitpicking. It’s basically her regular youtube vids having chinese subtitles and uploaded into a chinese website since youtube isn’t allowed in China.

No one will ever understand how knets function.

Also there’s always someone who has done worse.

The hate is amplified here because she didn’t have a solid fanbase to begin with to support her.

Those sites repost most of those videos no? It's how ig take Weibo videos of beauty blogger,one is lucky if they even get credit for it

Wow, k-netz are really trying to bury her?

Like, this is the stupidest thing I have seen come out about this girl.

They are trying to completely cut her off with no room to return by painting her as pro-China. Stop trying to conflate one thing she did into something else.

At this point, I think it was stupid of her agency to send her to Single's Inferno. Maybe she would have been caught eventually, but at least I don't think she would be targeted this badly if her career had stayed on YouTube.

They want this girl's life

And she would still have 600k followers instead of 3,6 mio.

Don’t mess with our kimchi!

Sorry but really?

Is that worth her mental health though?

Her agency has already come out and said she is in shock about all this hate.

Who knows, I may be wrong, but if her career and will to promote are killed off by this, was it worth it?

you would think she murdered or hurt someone with the way shes getting shit on but then again she already had a lot of antis so I'm not shocked to see all of them jumping on this bandwagon. I refuse to believe their are actually people out there genuinely hurt that she wore fake branded items..

as for the subtitles.... it's obvious she didn't type out the Chinese subtitles.

It just need to die down and she need to refocus. People still follow her.

I donno. Don’t care. But the hate man…

This is what happens when you say 'Pao Cai' to a Korean despite the word being the official Google translation for Kimchi:

We'll see.

I hope for her sake. But if she's worse off after than before, than it was not worth the 3 million or so followers she gained.

Maybe she will rebrand. Personally, I do care. I don't want her dreams to die over something ignorant she did at 24.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how much words can hurt - even the strongest.

I hope she us offline and not reading this crap.

7. [+443, -91] You guys are going to kill another kid at this rate... let's stop it here, everyone~

This. It's getting ridiculous now

This situation is getting annoying. Like okay we get it, girl wore fake brends few times but this is like neverending cycle

uhhhh with all due respect the literal translation of kimchi in Chinese is Pao Cai!!!!

that's the chinese word for kimchi!!!!

Is she ethnic Chinese? Song Jia sounds Chinese not Korean.

Quote from ultraaviolet

Well when people are angry they're not gonna research lol. They just want something to be mad about.....

yeah but it's a Chinese vlog in Chinese lol

oh well CJK netizens are always "interesting" they consume each other countries content ravenousnessly and yet will not hesitate to shit on them at the same time

But still different.

We have something like kimchi here but I’d still translate kimchi as kimchi if I was korean.

but the korean word for kimchi is 김치 apparently but it's a Chinese vlog so they have to use chinese words no? lol

I mean even in English you would use the english words "kimchi" and not 김치 right?

this is crazy. As a native mandarin speaker, Kimchi is called pao cai in mandarin and what's wrong with that?

this whole situation has turned into a witch hunt. She's getting treated worse then some actual criminals...

i hoped we might have gotten a distorted image with so many sites translating articles about this, but seems not like it.

girl has been called out enough, it's just hating atp

Lmao we are so close to an international war and they are fighting over the name of a food.

Anyway, most YouTubers don't translate their vlogs, usually, they don't even hire someone. Sometimes they leave a link to a place where fans can translate it and simply use them. Some youtubers simply put the subtitles in google translate and use them, I saw big youtubers who have the worst translations in English (despite the fact that their income comes from English speakers, but that's another story). So this is really not her fault, most probably the company manages the yt account so it's their fault for not investing and paying attention.

The same people that make you rise, make you fall too. Influencer is a risky career in this sense, they suffer more with cancel culture since their fans are into them because of their image, and if something damage their image is like the end of the career.

Jia as someone that wanted to build a fashion brand could have been more thoughtful, brands won't want to work with you if you promoted their fakes online. But that's it, she became a punchbag for something that isn't even that serious, they could just unfollow her and stop watching their content, but sounds too lenient to them. I hope Jia has a strong mentality, because if not... we can be the witness of a tragedy.

you're chinese my friend?

what part of China are you/were you from?

Omg this netizen are crazy, wearing fake clothes isn't the worst things someone can do seriously even if she didn't on purpose it's not that big of deal at this rate they're going to kill her seriously the Korean life is stressful as it self and they keep on putting pressure on each other no wonder the suicide rate is so high

knetz on these online communities are scary

what?

Kimchi translated to Chinese is literally Pao Chai? Like there is no other words for kimchi? If it's korean kimchi, they just add a Korean to the front, it becomes Han Guo Pao Chai (Korean Kimchi). If it's Japanese, then they put Japan at the front. that's it. people are so dumb.

Ok but

Mandarin Speaker here

Kimchi is literally a form of pao cai (泡菜）

There's greens - The cai (菜）

There's the fermentation - The pao(泡) in pao cai refers to fermentation

Pao Cai is a category of dishes, and is used to refer to any number of types of pickled vegetables.

They wanted to hate so much that they literally blew up over a non-issue.

I get Freejia (freezia?) had a proven fraud but like this is going too far.

Edit: if there is a criticism, Freejia could have used 韩国泡菜 to refer to kimchi -- there isn't really a specific way to refer to pickled vegetables other than describing origin, contents, or features. In the case of 韩国泡菜 (Han Guo Pao Cai) (dir.trans.: Korean pickled vegetables) it refers to kimchi by origin and directly translates to kimchi on translate
