Lee Dong Wook calls out hateful comments on fan messaging app, sparks netizen buzz
Actor Lee Dong Wook is speaking out about the strange psychology behind hateful comments he receives on paid fan messaging apps. The controversy gained traction after a viral post shared his messages expressing genuine curiosity about why some subscribers send rude messages despite paying for the service.
Lee Dong Wook wrote:
“It’s nice because there is no lag today. Hey, but I’m really curious about something, so could you please answer for me? It’s not because I’m mad; I am just genuinely curious.
Why do they tell me to stop sending messages because it disrupts them at work? I am seriously curious about the psychological aspect of saying something like that.”
He questioned why subscribers don’t just unsubscribe or turn off notifications instead of leaving negative remarks:
“Why are they saying that when they are the ones who subscribe to me? Can’t they just unsubscribe, turn off the alarm, or erase the app? I am honestly not mad at all; I am just genuinely curious as to why they are like that.
I ignore them, but I see those messages every time I come on here. Why are they like that all the time??”
The actor also reflected on the economic side of paid hate comments:
“From an economic perspective, I’m thankful that people pay to subscribe to me, even if it’s to leave comments like that. But I really want to know the psychological thought process behind it. Why are they like that on a paid subscription service…I mean, I’m thankful for it.
I am not hurt or mad by it, considering I’m at a point in my life where things like that don’t hurt me. I am honestly just curious why they are like that. I want to see their face to see what kind of expression they have when writing it.”
Lee Dong Wook ended on a light note, asking fans for dinner recommendations:
“Whether it’s to seek attention, keep at it…it’s a win for me. I guess this mystery will be left as unsolved for eternity. Anyway, recommend something for dinner. I’m always the one recommending things for you guys.”
Netizens echoed his confusion, expressing similar curiosity about the mindset behind paid hateful comments:
- “There are so many twisted people. Honestly, I am also curious as to why they leave comments like that one a paid app.”
- “Lee Dong Wook is always so refreshing.”
- “I’m curious too…it’s even a paid app that they subscribed to..what is their mindset?”
- “How shallow does your life have to be to act like that…”
- “I’m also curious about what they want to get out of that.”
