#MyBambooForestIrene
[bamboo forest means someone you can be vulnerable to, tell secrets, show emotions to, etc.]
Irene who's younger but always was a bamboo forest to me~
I've been and grown with Red Velvet since debut for 6 years now. -
-After I gave birth in 2015, so many things in my life changed as a MUA. It was full of first-time experiences and difficulties. But Irene who's incredibly shy and quiet became a bamboo forest for me who I could reveal my secrets/emotions to.
-
-One day she visited my shop & said she came to say hi as she was passing by. She sat beside me & we talked and left. On the way home, I put my hand in my pocket and there was a card in my jacket pockets. She had given me a card with Irene-like content, in an Irene-like method
-
-Just that one card seemed like Irene herself. She has the warmest heart. I don't know what went wrong and how this situation came to be but I trust that this will also pass and that the truth will win in the end!
-
-Just as she was like a bamboo forest to me and gave me strength when I was going through a hard time, I will be a source of strength for her too. -
- "Irene you remember right? Recently you said you didn't know how to comfort me, and what to say, so you couldn't say anything but I was touched when you said 'thinking about it I think you must be going through a really hard time...
-
- At that time, were you feeling what I'm feeling right now? I don't know what words to say, can't say how you must be feeling... I couldn't even send you a message...

Irene~
We are next to you and we will always be next to you so let's overcome/get through this together!
My bamboo forest Irene~
I wanted to tell you I'm thankful too~
And you are a warmer person than anyone I know I trust! ♥️"
<I've bolded the corrected parts. Thank you to those who've pointed them out, especially @vantebjh for helping me review everything. I apologize.>
The corrected parts:
- 3rd paragraph: the apology immediately after the incident (yes, the incident, not the IG post) was from the company staff and managers recognizing Irene's wrongs, not Irene herself.
(cont.)
- 4th paragraph: the 1st time interaction in the stylist's initial IG post referred to 1) Irene not remembering the GQ shoot and 2) the stylist's 2 other colleagues who met Irene for the first time.
'Warm @renebaebae unnie
Whenever we were together this unnie with a pretty face and pretty heart that would think of her staff first like this [gift picture] and take care of them
-
-
Every concert, vitamins were a given. she'd personally go around stores picking out things one by one saying we worked hard. She was someone who'd even write handwritten letters and care for us. She's someone who knows how to apologize for something she's done wrong.
-
- Warm renebaebae who writes handwritten letters and relays her thoughts, I support you ♥️ "
"I am staff who for 4 years, I've worked closely with Irene like no one else, and because I've spent so much time with unnie, I am so saddened and disheartened.
-
- She was a caring unnie that would take care of all her staffs' birthdays, and even when working onsite she'd take care of her staff first...
Seeing how one person's story has rolled like a snowball and grown, I am scared and I am so saddened thinking how did people end up -
-thinking that way about her when that's not the unnie I've known so my heart hurts...
She is an unnie who is warmer than anyone I know.. As someone who's had a relationship with her beyond just artist-staff, I always cheer you on so have strength unnie! ☺️
"My friends ask often.
How is ___ celebrity? What is their actual personality like?
She's very shy so it's not easy to get close but she is a warm person with a big heart.
That was my answer on Irene.
As I saw how observant/detailed she was that she was taking care of things-
-others may not see, I sometimes think 'Aigoo, she must be so tired' but when I think, if so many people were watching the clothes I wore, the makeup I had on, my hairstyle, my actions, I naturally nod my head.
-
- When I just read the words that are up on the internet, it seems like she was made to be a person that is capable of such unimaginable actions.
If they are true, then it's not just 1-2 years, I wouldn't be able to work with her when I have to see her so often.-
I am hair stylist Yoon Seoha who's worked with RV as a hair staff since 2015.
As I've been with the members for a long time, I don't think was a time we didn't treat each other with sincerity working together. For that long time we've/I've (?) worked with loyalty-
- and thankfulness and thanks to that, I feel that I've grown a lot myself. Irene was someone who gave me a lot of trust as a team leader and made me feel proud to be Red Velvet's hairstylist.-
- The Irene that I've seen for a long time was someone who gives accuracy and trust to people in every work. If I had faced any unfairness working with this person I've worked with for so long that I've seen even more than my own family, I am someone who would've already quit.
