The Real Reason Why Red Velvet's Irene Is Scared Of Men

I can totally relate to Irene. Being “beautiful” is not easy at all. People will act so weird and creepy around you just to get your attention and even try to be touchy. Last year I moved to another school and had this director that just wouldn’t leave me alone. He would always compliment me, tell me how beautiful I am and I was so uncomfortable. At the end of the school year he told me “You know..when I see these beautiful girls...” and chuckled without continuing his phrase. I literally had my eyes wide open. This man is married, he has kids and really had the guts to tell me such thing. I am so disgusted when I think about it. I literally can’t have a normal day going out because men would always come out of the blue trying to flirt with me or something. It happened to me even when I was at a cafeteria with my mom. I felt so embarrassed towards her. So guys, please, don’t judge Irene for being cautious with men.

I’m a guy who wasn’t a fan, nor a hater, of Irene until I found out she read Cho Nam-Joo’s book “Kim JiYoung Born 1982”. Then I started to like her and give mad props and crazy respect for opening her mind.

[@absolutelynotellen]

Is it bad that i absolutely have no idea who the hell is San-E is though? 😳 i just checked the song that he performed there with Irene and Jackson as the mc's, and goddamnーthe lyrics had a very vulgar meaning.

[@davidwong6682]

San E is a rapper who once appeared in Unpretty Rapstar. He has his fair share of controversies throughout his career and he didn't exactly cover himself in glory when performing in front of Irene and Jackson. He seems like a really creepy guy to me.

[@zoeelizabweth]

He’s a known racist and sexist so I don’t blame Irene for being uncomfortable

Irene doesnt hate boys or men as people think. She's just more wary based of experience on ppl and very nice. Only when uncomfortable she is

[@NganHoang-dy8el]

Her beauty combine with her timid personality, in a country where man disrepect woman, im sure she has trauma and a lot of trouble growing up. She learned to keep a cold face to not getting trouble because she not bold enough to defend herself. And when she reaches her limit, she explodes.

[@ddbangtannim2270]

this is why I love Irene. she's openly honest with her emotions and doesn't need to front for cameras just so people can like her. if she don't like something, she'll let you know; and if you have a problem, go cry about it.

[@markovazz]

I feel bad for female idols :/

[@666monkeynuts]

Same:(((

[@jwibao]

I think that's probably because during her trainee era, Irene was exposed with so many stories about being an female idol which is why she has to be more strict and this is her way to protect herself. Like really idk why people nowadays still seeing a person only from the cover and not trying to get them know better before judging duh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@nataliehernandez1427]

I can relate to Irene and I support her.She is loved!💗💗

[@jaredollo]

She simply sticks up for herself and her boundaries along with sticking up for her members. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, and absolutely nothing wrong with her book choices.

[@neogriff]

Haven't seen her in the web for a while ... worried whether she's okay. Last year, I caught her bday ig live, at night, when I was outside, caught in a rainstorm. It was such a happy occasion. Couldn't stay long and I get back to my errand after posting happy birthday. But this year ... she went silent ....

[@minaryeon9259]

She has been taking a break since the scandal happened, red velvet is coming back in august

[@drshansani9339]

Idols are humans too.. It's really sad that they have to show a smiley face always.. We never know what's going on with their personal life and how much do they going through because of company pressure.. Public always expect them to be perfect.. We can't judge a person without knowing any of this.. We are are no family or close friends.. ❤❤❤ And touching a woman without her permission is not acceptable by any means..

[@milk_bubbletea1312]

I saw a yt shorts and it said proof that Ireane is not human and I immediately got upset why do people think she is not human and all of her friends do not treat her like a human this really makes me feel bad for her…

[@peachperfect1896]

I love irene. But i got a feeling that she is that one classmate that is untouchable and doesn't take jokes well. The one that the pranksters can't relate to. I used to be like that too, always hate jokes that crosses the line.

[@rdvelvets]

Irene is just shy, that's normal

[@gomezgomezian3236]

I don't really think Irene is scared of men. However, like all women, she is right to be cautious around men she does not know. If they show themselves to be reasonable and appropriate in their dealings with her (and other women), then I am sure that she is fine. But, unfortunately, as a woman who has been extremely attractive since she was very young, I fear just what sort of inappropriate encounters she may have had during her formative years. And unpleasant childhood encounters are not something one easily 'grows out of'.

[@owl9704a]

Thank you for such an insightful video. I never heard about these issues but it is wonderful that someone like you has spoken out in support of this beautiful young lady.

[@princessbussy5377]

She is just not letting anyone walk over her She knows her self worth and doesn’t like it when people don’t respect boundaries She has the characteristics of a leader

[@purvibhardwaj9781]

I don't really think Irene is scared of men. After seeing almost a million of videos on her (maybe a little exaggeration but yeah), I can conclude that She is just an introvert who takes time to open up and is really dorky kind. She is really, truly beautiful and has a wonderful personality too. The only thing is that She burdens herself with the thought of being a leader and tries to act like one and She really becomes uncomfortable when people try to come closer to her just because of her beauty. She really is admirable and talented but just isn't completely open and often hesitates a lot. If only She would be a little more outgoing, people would know that She is such a cute little woman who deserves the world.

I used to do this before.. stoic face so creeps keep away. It's like a defence mechanism I agree. Being a pretty female idol is hard as it is plus the hate she got for reading a book on women's hardships. She does what keeps her safe

[@cristina.adsc3589]

irene doesnt hate men, she dislikes men who have no manners, are disprespectful and think they're entitled to do things

[@Nameless_mixes]

I’m pretty sure that it’s safe to say that at least with Heechul, Irene wouldn’t take anything he said as being antagonistic. I’m not saying that this is always the case, but since the artists under SM seem pretty close, I’m sure that Irene knew that he was only trying to joke around. 💗
