Veteran singer
#ShimSoobong (71) is facing a fierce backlash regarding her comment on junior singer
#KimDahyun (17). Netizen criticised that the comments she gave was not a warm advice from a senior singer, but rather a rude authoritarian attitude that humiliated a young junior in front of a large audience.
On '10th Jinan Highland Trot Festival' held 20 Sept, Kim performed 2 songs before Shim. Right after Kim finished her performance, Shim, on her ment said, "My head is spinning because of the girl who sang before me. Is her manager here by any chance? It seems that this young lady doesn't know what singing is or what life is. It's difficult for me listening to the song, so I'm telling in front of everyone," and added, "Please don't make her perform before me again. I feel so dizzy righ now that I feel like I'm going to collapse. Singing is not something that can be done carelessly. You need to experience life and endure hardships to create music that comforts those who come to see you. I'm having difficult time so I can't help but confess to you. I'm sorry."
The video went viral through various online communities and many criticised Shim for the rude remarks for her junior and the fact that she said it at a public festival attended by a large audience.
