1. [+208, -205] What do you mean by 'other story'? He wasn't paying the money. Him and his mom were calculating the cash. In fact, Nam Taehyun's mother was the one who paid the man. That is Dispatch's picture and actually even in Dispatch's article, they only wrote about him and his mother going out to eat. At that time, most of the comments were positive and had no problems. I don't get why after a few months, people are talking about this set of pictures out of nowhere, with the order reversed. Don't judge one's entire personality over one malicious picture. Don't you know how much celebrities suffer over rumours that spread like this????
(Correct order, left to right: Taehyun's mom ended up paying)
2. [+182, -77] This is obviously a post made just to hate on Nam Taehyun.
3. [+153, -129] No one knows for sure if that picture is of him paying the valet driver or not. Since we don't know the exact truth, let's not make hasty generalizations to immediately hate on Nam Taehyun...
4. [+96, -13] I honestly don't agree with Nam Taehyun's gesture either. However, how are you basing his entire personality by taking two pictures without knowing what happened before or after? People who are making all kinds of rumours and posting malicious comments... are you one to talk about 'good character'?
5. [+90, -19] Dispatch followed Nam Taehyun around and got nothing so they could only write an article about him and his mom going out to eat ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's hilarious. Why don't you just outright say that you hate Nam Taehyun or something?
6. [+80, -10] What's really funny is why is a picture that was taken a few months ago being brought up now all of a sudden?
7. [+69, -5] They're really making a fuss about everything, eh? He's being hated on for how he's paying? It's not like he threw the money or anything ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+57, -5] To be honest, I also thought that his gesture just by looking at that one photo was wrong. However, if you're going to criticize that then stick to just that. Rumours about him being an iljin has already been proven false but when people bring that up again to spark more hate and write malicious comments about his 'character', that just makes the fans feel wrongly accused. Us fans ourselves aren't just blindly looking at this as if Nam Taehyun didn't do anything wrong either.
9. [+56, -11] Geez, with all the fuss I thought he majorly screwed up and stuck up his middle finger or something ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Seeing as how this has been such a big issue when we don't even know the real circumstances just shows that the public is really interested in Nam Taehyun..
10. [+54, -6] Yes. That's not the right manners towards an elder. It's right for him to be criticized for this even out of context. I'm not going to shield him for it. Sorry.
11. [+46, -2] If you're a fan, then you would just ignore this post and not write any comments at all. Nam Taehyun's image is already in danger but if a reporter stumbles upon this and makes an article about it.. then that's when you're really screwed... It's not even a big deal and it'll pass but if you keep on writing posts like this and commenting, the situation will only get bigger. Rumours about Nam Taehyun will spread like wildfire but no one will care about the clarification posts... I think the public is too much. They throw rocks like nothing and when it's proven that the person is innocent, they have no interest in it at all. They don't care about the truth, it's all about the noise marketing. They don't give a crap about whether it's true or not because the only thing they'll remember is the controversy.
12. [+45, -4] It feels like they're bringing this up out of nowhere because they have nothing else to write about...
13. [+42, -2] This is the exact reason why I hate Pann ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ The first time this Dispatch article was released, everyone's reaction to it was positive. All of a sudden, you're all 'disappointed in him'? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ When people around them compliment someone, they go along and say 'Yeah, yeah, true, he's nice' and when people around them hate on someone, they go 'Yeah, yeah, true, he's a jackass.' People need to stop being so quick to just go along with what people around them say.
14. [+40, -6] Why are they out of nowhere going crazy over a picture from a few months back? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I bet this kind of talk wouldn't pop up if we saw the whole thing in a video ㅋㅋㅋ If you hate him, then just ignore him. Don't go around making up posts like this. If Winner comes on TV, just turn it off then.
15. [+36, 0] Let's just be careful from now on.
