[theqoo] HA YOUNG WHO POSTED AN APOLOGY ON HER CHINESE SNS TOO

August 14, 2026

(Ha Young’s apology)

+ 890: The Chinese people won’t forgive you either! If you were a Chinese actor, your accounts would have been suspended and you would have been banned from every platform by now. I don’t know how South Korea will handle this, but the Chinese don’t need to forgive you on behalf of all South Koreans.

> + 24: We can’t forgive her

+ 359: How could something this terrible happen? It’s only natural that blessings must be passed down to one’s descendants so that disaster doesn’t befall them. We have no choice in when we’re born, so why can’t you just stay quiet?

> + 106: Yeah, I think that’s exactly what she’s being criticized for. If she’d just kept quiet,

her ancestors’ glorious past wouldn’t have been exposed.

+ 563: This is the first time I’ve seen this person, I just learn about her. Could you tell me a little about her?

> + 7K: On the broadcast, she proudly stated that she came from one of the four great medical families, noting that her great-great-grandfather was the first Korean to study medicine in Japan and the first to open a hospital, and that he had served as the personal physician to the emperor during the Joseon Dynasty, facts she took great pride in. However, when netizens later dug deeper, it was revealed that her great-grandfather had been a collaborator during the Japanese colonial era, and her grandfather had participated in human experiments similar to those conducted by Unit 731. In other words, her ancestors had betrayed their homeland to amass a vast fortune, ensuring that four generations could live without financial worries, and she was even proud of that.

original post: here

1. I’m so jealous of China because of this

2. ?? Why is she uploading an apology on her Chinese SNS?? What are they supposed to do??

3. I wish we could kick her out as ruthlessly as China does. I’m jealous.

4. Freaking national embarrassment

5. China would’ve had her retire right away. But in our country, the pro-Japanese collaborators have taken over everythingㅠ

6. Why is she posting this on her Chinese SNS???? What is she thinking?

7. She can’t even whine about it to China anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

8. China has no mercy when it comes to pro-Japanese collaborators, so why is she posting that?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ She really must be dumb

9. I’m genuinely curious… I mean, why…??

If I were Chinese, I think I’d find it absurd and offensive… Not only is this not something a Chinese person deserves an apology for, but it also makes me feel like they’re just using me

10. She’s staying dumb until the very endㅋㅋㅋ Farewell

11. In China, your Weibo account just disappears, and your name vanishes from websites and places like that, so you basically become a non-person

12. China hates pro-Japanese collaborators even more than us. Is this girl really that clueless? If this were China, she’d be kicked out of the entertainment industry immediately, but since it’s South Korea, she’s getting off easy. She has no idea what’s going on

13. But why is she posting an apology to China? Is she even famous over there?

14. China is probably stricter than Korea when it comes to acts of treason related to Japan, so what was she thinking when she posted that?

15. But the more I think about it, the term “pro-Japanese collaborator” seems way too mild. It’s more accurate to call them “traitors to the nation” or “traitors.”
