NGL the first tweet is questionable in its intent, but the second tweet is more important. He clearly learned his lesson seeing as he hasn't made any similar comments.

shindong is okay, my friends say worse things than he. i don't hold it against him, you're not so perfect yourself.

[Frees]

nobody cares about his apology if he is still fat , i am being honest here

[Ddeona Oneul Bame]

People will still hate him regardless~ And fatshame him^ despite it being pretty damn hypocritical of what they're constantly dragging him for saying~

[johnny's wifey]

its good he apologized and learnt what he did its wrong

[kxjay]

A hypocrite will stay a hypocrite

Just like how when he got out of the army with 50 more pounds than he did when he went in.

I'm glad you're being honest with yourself.

Actually, he's in the best position in Idols world. While the others busy making pretty face and starving, he's busy eating and enjoy being famous with his brain and talent alone.

 

So haters, just keep hating cos you'll never be like him...

[yeye kim]

he killed everyone's mother, what do you expect? everyone won't let it go

[bemybaymax]

At this point, I honestly think some people here are just jealous because despite being fat and ugly Shindong is more successful than their faves will ever be

Agree, Fighting prejudice with more prejudice it is disgusting. It only proves that none of the people that is hating on him and call him fatphobic but then call him FAT PIG or worse really cares about the problem itself (aka fatphobia).

 

They just want to hate on him no matter what (even more bc 1º he dont fit in your normal idol standard, 2º he is an SJ´s member, according with many kpop fans, the most problematic group on kpop  )

I've said it before...

 

people target him because he's easy. many idols have made similar comments and have not apologized, yet no one holds it against him.

 

and what about those who mock shindong for his weight? well isn't that just the pot calling the kettle black?

 

we're all guilty of saying or doing terrible things or things we regret at one point or another because we're all human at the end of the day. don't act like you're any better.
