우주소녀 - The story of Seola's Courage

WJSN - SEOLA
She doesn't deserve to be treated like this. no idol or trainee for that matter!

[@mutiaraanisha9430]

Just imagine you're afraid of something so much and you're being forced to deep into it. Must feels like hell. She's brave.

[@Dazai.xenpai]

Shoutout to Yeoreum, helped Seola a lot and seemed legitimately worried about her.

[@mayc1007]

They should have told her even before coming to the set. The worst thing is Seola found it at the last min which is even more terrifying for her. But bravo to her, she really is so brave. and i hope the company dont force her to do it again unless she is willing to try it.

[@carlet274]

Wtf, why would you force a girl that is frighten of water to shoot under a freaking pool? It breaks my heart to see her begging the manager to let her skip the shoot and he acts so cold. Anyways, she's brave enough to face her fears and she did it.

[@chunkykitty1807]

It’s because they have a contract by song company the music industry so they have very strict rules

i have a really terrible blood phobia, and even just the smallest bleeding cut makes it difficult for me to breath, I've even a fainted one or two times and it actually really hurts when people laugh at me bcuz they think im being ridiculous.

I have a phobia of escalator and my friends and family would look at me with disbelief .

Only the ones who have to face the phobia understand how it affects psychologically.

[@snehachoudhury5721]

Oh same I have haemophobia too. It's really hard to be a biology student, I really love the subject but my phobia gets into the way of enjoying it

[@Misskpop27]

I cried a lot. A phobia can't be gone by plunging someone right in the middle of it especially at the last minute. It's frustrating because she just CAN'T she knows too that she has to but her body and her mind just won't listen it's a involuntarily thing and has nothing to do with how "courageous" someone is. Someone may be courageous and brave the darkness but if they have a phobia of tight places you can't shove them in an elevator and tell them to "be courageous" phobias are overcome with time, effort and professional leading not by plunging someone into it when they're shaking and crying and begging to not go. That being said she was hella determined and I know it was hard and this was all levels of wrong but she deserves a lot of support after all she had to go through.

what's the problem with starship? they force wonho, who has a height phobia, to bungee jump and also forced the seola who has a water phobia to get into a pool? I hate this company more than anything in this world

[@triniii1524]

I know what you mean, I also have known someone with a water phobia before, during school she'd have a panic attack whenever we had swimming classes and to make things worse she knew no english and was just starting to learn it since she only just left China and we were in grade 4. Except at school your forced to do stuff and she was taken by the teachers to swimming lessons during lunch break. I feel like no one cares when you have a phobia and force you to do what you dont want to anyways which is so unfair.

[@renia1833]

Wow, This isn’t an “I don’t like water” It’s an “I am highly afraid of water and the thought of it is frightening” Did you see how quick she got out of the pool after she did it?

[@airafitri4590]

Exactly!! It's so fucked up what is wrong with the staffs......

[@uwueng]

This is the most sickening thing i've ever seen. How can y'all be so calm about this? A phobia is not a joke, it's a fucking anxiety disorder and he had no right to force her to do something like that. This is just fucking wrong, i got so sick at even just watching her pain. I hope that manager was fired and that he doesn't find a new job anytime soon and i'm not going to take that back. You don't toy with a person's fear like that for your own benefit.

[@charitosuchisa4831]

[@mozorellastick2583]

Jayylaa Chua honestly i know exactly how she feels. I have a phobia if cockroaches and even writing the word makes me feel sick. I could see the girls desperately trying to reassure her but when u have a phobia u cant be calmed down by logic, because my definition its an irrational fear. Im so angry that her company didnt address the concept with her and when they found out they went ahead with it anyway. The fact that she found out last minute is even worse. Imagine if she had a panic attack under water, her phobia would be so much worse at least now she was able to convince herself to do it after such a traumatic experience she probably would have difficulties with even that. Phobias take years to get over with professional help, you cant force someone with a phobia to do something thats so fucking evil. Poor thing forced herself to do it because her team and her career is that important to her but I know exactly how much she was suffering. Im so pissed off it was edited in a way to make it seem like it was a good thing after all because all they did was make her upset and probably worsen her phobia. The absolute last thing do with a person with a phobia is force them to do something, thats just pure evil

However, my major required me to use a lot of tools and machines, loud, heavy and very very dangerous... And I was so afraid, I would ask any other person to use them for me... But one day I had to do it... And it took its time, and I cried and I got very anxious but I got trough it SeolA got trough her phobia, she made it, it's possible

I don't know why people are praising this. Being forced to confront a phobia in an environment that is not dedicated to her psychological safety is not ok. Yeah, she did it, but I highly doubt she's "over it" or healed in any way because of this experience. She didn't want to do it and she's surrounded by people telling her, in gentle and soft tones, that she has no choice. This whole situation is very upsetting.

[@dreamyanon5151]

I think facing your fears can be empowering when you yourself choose to do so on your own time but personally this just felt sad to me. It shows SeolA is strong but her being forced to confront her fear and bearing the pain isn't empowering, it probably could've made the fear even worst afterward. Fears aren't always something you need to "conquer". And the way the subtitles seem to frame it as this encouraging heartwarming story of not giving up (even the shakira music is a little too much) when the poor girl deserved a break and shouldn't be pushed past her boundaries for something so trivial was just wrong. I'm sure she felt proud of herself afterward, as she should, and will always remember that she could do it, but this just wasn't necessary to make her do. Yes, face your fears- when *you* want to or don't want it to have power over you, but it's okay to have a comfort zone! Not everyone will be able to face their fear this way and that's okay. Thankfully she had a lot of support. I don't even know her but seeing her cry made my heart break.

[@chrrybliss4496]

Sadly I can relate to her on how she feels I start to get really anxious when I get inside a pool so I decide to just get out but she is very brave to do this❤
