After the event, video clips of member Jisoo tearing up in the car went viral online.
Not long after, Jisoo left a message for fans, revealing her honest thoughts about the whole 10th debut anniversary fiasco.
“Hello! I think it’s my first time in Beijing since my family trip in middle school. Thanks for greeting me! I think we all couldn’t say things easily yesterday because the boundaries for the things we want to say, the things we can say, and the things we shouldn’t say are difficult.
But, I wanted to say that the four of us love everyone so, so, so much!! I want to let you know we think all of you are precious to us. There seem to be a lot of people who were shocked at me crying yesterday. I guess I was a person, too! I can’t believe I wasn’t a robot.
But I hope that my tears don’t get caught up in various meanings. I just want to clarify that the tears I shed were from a variety of emotions felt on our 10th anniversary.”
— Jisoo
“Does crying in a public place for the first time make me the most sincere? I do not think that at all. Just as it doesn’t mean that I wasn’t touched when I don’t cry during tour!
The sadness and misunderstandings that come from not communicating…althought many of you were probably already frustrated…But I think it was because I didn’t want any more negative speculation and rumors to come from this, at a time when we should be celebrating our 10 years.
I think I’ve talked too much, but even though I’m late, I wanted to say I love you! And happy 10 years! To think I worked for 10 years, wow! And that we supported each other for ten years! I think we are some amazing people! Thank you!”
— Jisoo
K-Netizens agreed she handled the situation in a mature manner.
- “I’ve gotten more interested in JIsoo now…”
- “She is really good with her words…like an adult.”
- “How can you not like her…”
- “She is so cool and honest…she seems like a good person.”
- “I guess they know what’s going on…”
