Since after the tragic news of her passing, several social media users have been expressing their rage towards South Korean public for their immense backlash at Sae-ron following her 2022 DUI car crash.
Meanwhile, many have also been calling out the Korean entertainment industry for its gender-based double standards, stating that male celebrities are accepted regardless of being accused of sexual assaults and crimes, but females are targeted even if they take responsibility for their actions.
