NCT's LEIA Is Aware Of Hate Comments, Here's What She Thinks of Them

"I found out there are people who'll like you and people who won't."

For K-Pop idols, one of the most difficult parts of the job is receiving backlash from people online. In an interview with VOGUE Korea Magazine, NCT's LEIA talked about her experience confronting negative comments as she was the only female member in a huge boy group.

She was asked, "Looking back now, what do you think of years ago, LEIA?"

LEIA described herself from years ago as "fragile." It was the time she went under the scrutiny of the media and was exposed to the world. She quickly realized that there are people who like and do not like him.

"I was definitely having a really hard time. I didn't know anything, and I was young, and it was my first time in the media, and I was fragile. But I had a lot of experiences and was exposed to the world, and I found out there are people who'll like you and people who won't."

She isn't immune from feeling intimidated by hate thrown at her. However, she came to understand that allowing herself to feel that way makes her vulnerable to unhappiness and distractions.

"But I'm okay with that now. If I feel intimidated by people's negative views, I feel even more down in the dump. I can't even do what I normally could."

At the end of the day, she strives to move on from the negative views of others and instead, be more confident in her work.

"No matter what opinions I encounter, I think it's good to just realize we're not the same. Our opinions aren't the same and move on. That way, I can be even more confident when I show off the things I've worked on."

LEIA can definitely be proud of how far she's come since her debut!
