Lee Jooyeon shared her thoughts about dealing with malicious online comments.
On the episode of MBC's 'Omniscient Interfering View' that aired on the 23th, Lee Jooyeon and Dayoung appeared as guests.
To mark Family Month, Lee Jooyeon invited her parents to her home, where they shared conversations while eating a meal she personally cooked. Regarding her father, she said, "He used to work as a public servant, but after retiring, he now works part-time at a bank." Her father happily mentioned that many people recognized him since his appearance on the previous episode.
Lee Jooyeon's father talked about Lee Jooyeon's personality growing up, saying, "She was such a messy child that her nickname was 'Dung Fly.' Since her name is Jooyeon, we also called her 'Joopal.' We never had any celebrities in our family, so it felt unfamiliar to us. I actually opposed her becoming a celebrity. She's not unintelligent at all. In her third year of high school, she even won the grand prize in mathematics," speaking proudly about his daughter.
Her father added, "Back then, whenever I read online comments, it truly broke my heart seeing so many terrible things written about her. I'm so glad that these days there are many good comments."
Lee Jooyeon smiled and said, "I personally don’t spend much time online, but my dad reads everything. Even if there are hurtful comments directed at me, I’m okay. What really worried me was my family getting hurt because of them. That broke my heart, even though I could endure it myself." She then added with a laugh, "But now there are so many warm comments that my dad says he feels full even without eating."
