I was obviously disappointed to hear about it, it's not an acceptable attitude at all and I felt awful for the stylist. For a long time I refrained from forming my own opinion and just read what everyone else was saying. In hindsight I think while what she did was terrible, she handled it the best way she could: she apologized to both to her fans and to the stylist in person and took a long hiatus.
She gave a more detailed and mature apology earlier this year on bubble.
It’s been snowing a lot and got cold out too, are you all doing well? It’s late but I feel nervous to be greeting to you all through a post.
First, I wanted to say that I’m sorry for causing so much pain and worry to many people because of my imperfections.
I started my life as a trainee in 2009 at the age of 19, and standing in front of all of you as Red Velvet’s Irene up until now has been everything in my life. As I approached an age that could be seen as both young and old, while living in the small society known as the entertainment world, I wanted to do the best when it came to my work and I thought of achieving that as being the most important task I’ve been given. I thought that I was getting along well with the people around me in my own way, so I didn’t know that my methods of communication or my expressions could become a problem, and I just thought that everyone has different ways of communicating.
Because of what happened, I received a lot of concern and reprimands from the people around me too as well as the public, and through this I gained the time to quietly reflect upon myself. Also, I realized that there were people around me who cherish me, even if it was undeserved, including my members, fans, and staff, and I also realized that I had been able to promote without any issues because of how they looked after me.
Just as one can’t turn back the clock, I’m also working hard to not return to the way I used to be. I realized the weight of words and actions, and I will try to become a more mature person. On top of showing a good side of myself as Red Velvet’s leader and a singer, I will also work hard as the person Bae Joo Hyun to not disappoint you.
I hope that there will no longer be anyone who is criticized because of what happened due to my imperfections. Although it’s late, happy new year.
It's clear her career will never go back to what it was before, but the fact that she kept a low profile after the scandal helped her case. It was really ugly back when the news came out and compilations of her "bad attitude" would go viral on Korean YT which I thought was really unfair. These videos were just situations taken out of context where she was "frowning" or with a "rbf on", and just helped spread the narrative that "she's an actual monster" and that "everyone hates her" when really it was an isolated incident.
I mean, yeah, what she did was bad, but I've seen people act like that without having a huge ego from being a celebrity. So it didn't surprise me at all. And I'm sure she isn't the only one to have acted that way. The only difference is she was caught. But I do agree she handled it very well. And honestly, even though in kpop "cancelations" seem to have more effect, in her case, she came out pretty strong.

I honestly have no idea if it actually got closed. I'm not the only one who remembers this thread in specific because I've seen users refer to it here on the new akp. Apparently it was one of the longest threads on old akp.
I know for a fact that it reached over 200 pages and I read them all bc Irene is my female idol ult, so I was monitoring the situation. When she posted the apology message on IG I remember it got like 20 new pages in half an hour, it was crazy.
Since she is your ult, what were your feelings on the whole Irene debacle?
