1. [+1,067, -66] Reporters, what's wrong with you? Please know when and what's appropriate to ask these things.

2. [+876, -61] This is more the issue of the reporter who asked it in the first place

3. [+804, -64] Why would you ask that? To a rookie who's just debuting?

4. [+45, -5] Juri seemed like she liked Korea a lot, and her Korean was pretty fluent on 'Produce 101' too. This is quite the timing for her debut, though;;;

5. [+41, -6] She likes Korea enough to come all the way here to debut, why would you ask her something like that...

6. [+33, -6] What did the reporter even expect as a response when he asked that? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+32, -6] She obviously likes Korea enough to leave her home country and come all the way here, why would you ask her such a sensitive question? Go ask those things to politicians.

8. [+28, -4] She likes Korea enough to come here after graduating from AKB. She's already getting hate from the right-wingers in Japan, why would you ask her this at her own showcase ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. [+20, -4] Juri seems to really like Korea, please don't ask her trashy questions

10. [+20, -3] Did the reporters think they had an easy target because she's a rookie? If you're going to ask something so ridiculous, then round up all the Japanese stars promoting here and ask them all at once.

11. [+16, -3] She's here with the dream of becoming a singer, what does Japanese-Korean relations have anything to do with her? Would you like it if our IZ*ONE members were treated like this in Japan? Reporters need to think twice.

12. [+16, -3] She gave up her career in Japan to debut here because she likes it here so much, why ask her that...

Someone pour some water on the head of that Reporter to wake him/her up.

 

[Astro]

Juri fighting!

 

[moue]

Does she look like a politician? The girl is just trying to debut. Sheesh.

 

[Echo]

Why is everyone expected to be involved in politics... she's a public figure for being a singer, she doesn't have to show any political opinions

 

[Kmiils]

What does she have to do with this situation? Stupid reporter

 

[lisssie]

dumb reporter

 

[doki-doki]

drop the name of that pathetic, pos "reporter"

 

[KaepJang]

ill intentions for sure

 

[Yuki]

 

[fromisEJel]

That reporter is trash for asking such a stupid question

 

[itzy]

Why do they try so hard to involve celebrities in political matters? She just debuted (in Korea) ffs

 

[Dragon of the West]

Man f*ck that reported. I'm glad the MC shut him down before things got more awkward than they already became after that question.

 

[Whisky23]

Closet ilbe reporter. Short on brains, as usual.

 

[fullofjoy]

Wow, he/she was a smart one

 

[DramaDramaDrama]

Japanese idols should be protected by their companies

 

[Saint Rose]

leave this girl alone

 

[rosie]

People really want public figures to hold a political stance, but as soon as you offer a political opinion, they'll hate you for it. Smh you just can't win.

 

[Sergel]

Happy the comments are bashing the reporter.

 

[anh]

not at all the right event to be asking that question
