091228 Clarification for the rumor of SNSD bullied
Hankyung
Currently, an article from sohu.com was published saying that the reason for Hangeng’s termination of contract was because he was bullied by the members of SNSD. SNSD’s Baidu Bar has made a post clarifying these rumors.
A rough summary of the Baidu post:
On 23 December, a Chinese fansite released the news that “Hangeng was insulted many times by SNSD, Kim Heechul couldn’t take it”. The source of the news was from an anti SNSD group, and the local media took the Antis’ fabricated news and published it. This is the first time something like this has happened.
One of the rumors was that the SNSD girls were in Super Junior’s waiting room, and saw Hangeng with blonde hair. She accused him of dying his hair blonde to become like a Korean. However, this is UNTRUE as the period where Hangeng had blonde hair was in 2006, while SNSD debuted in August 2007 (At that time, Hangeng had white hair). Since SNSD had yet to debut, why would they be sharing a waiting room?
Another rumor was that Hangeng performed a traditional dance on a variety show, and was insulted and laughed at by the SNSD girls. Hangeng has performed the traditional dance many times on programs, but he has only performed it 3 times in Korea. Out of these 3 times, 2 of them were in 2006. As for the performance in 2007, the female guest was Lee Sooyoung. Antis might have seen it and gotten Lee Sooyoung mixed up with SNSD’s Choi Sooyoung.
The third rumor mentioned was that during a SMtown interview, the MC asked if Hangeng had taught the girls Chinese, and SNSD responded disrespectfully saying that they should be teaching Hangeng Chinese instead, resulting in forced laughter from Hangeng. However, there was no such SMtown interview, it was an exclusive SNSD interview with TOM Entertainment. Tiffany was quoted saying “We don’t meet up with him (Hangeng) often, but when we bump into each other, we would smile and greet each other. When with the (SNSD) members he is closer to, they would ask how each other is doing.” The interview was done in a formal way, just like a regular exchange, and Hangeng was not around during the interview.
The last rumor was that Hangeng was insulted by a SNSD member for coming to Korea. This exchange was said to have made Heechul unhappy, and he had previously mentioned it in his cyworld. However, the truth is, Heechul has never mentioned this incident in his cyworld, it was fabricated by antis.

I'm saying as a SJ fan, not snsd anti fan.
And i quoted a comment in sj-world: SNSD respects their sunbaes and hoobaes..
This above comment is one of the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.
The first, snsd, from the day they debuted, there have been many times they've showed their DISRESPECT for their sunbaes & hoobaes, most of them are sunbaes. snsd fans was always defending that snsd are young so they need time to learn how to act in public, but there are many things everyone dont have to LEARN, they have their own brains & can think properly. No artists in kpop is as famous for saying impolite words to other artists, acting so stupidly & doing many unacceptable things as them. That's why no band in kpop can earns as many antifans as them. Though SJ is their sunbaes, they've acted in an incorrect manners some times. I wonder why they can say that snsd has never bullied Hankyung-hyung before cos he's the first foreign artist who debuted & become famous in Korea and his Korean is not good.
