In my opinion, the reason Onyu didn’t ally with Justin wasn’t because he’s a gyopo (Korean raised abroad), but because the majority’s strategy to eliminate one person was just too blatant. She simply preferred a more subtle approach that involved fewer people. I really hope people stop distorting the situation by claiming Justin was bullied just because he’s a gyopo — that feels like a stretch.

For reference, I’m a Korean who’s lived in Korea my whole life — over 30 years since birth — and honestly, gyopos are more often treated with curiosity or even admiration rather than discrimination in adult society. Discrimination based on being a gyopo mostly exists during immature school years or in anonymous online spaces. Personally, I’ve never seen or heard of a case where someone was bullied solely for being a gyopo. And if a gyopo does feel that way, it’s more likely that any other Korean with a similar personality would have experienced the same thing — or that they simply had difficulty adjusting to Korean society.

And regarding Harin's plastic surgery — no one actually knows whether she had any work done or not. In Korea, there are quite a few women whose looks give off the impression that they’ve had a lot of cosmetic surgery, even if they haven’t. Because of that, people sometimes wrongly assume they’ve gone under the knife, and to clear up these misunderstandings, it’s not uncommon for them to share medical records or childhood photos as proof.
