“as i age year by year, there is a saying that i relate to deeply and want to engrain into my heart - ‘minerva’s owl flies at dusk”. a saying that’s a comparison to the goddess of wisdom, minerva, it means things are hard to understand completely when they happen,

and we can only wisely assess the events that transpired once the day ends and dusk finally begins.
courageously speaking of one’s own experience like the incident yestersay, as someone from the same professional field (stylist) i can’t say i completely

understand the situation but i understand it enough so it feels even more unfortunate. the conclusion was finalized with an apology. but people forget that all things have a visible front and a backside we don’t know about. they only see the front and are not even curious

about the unseen behind. they only see what they want to see. until now, irene’s image front side was trustworthy leader, a loyal comrade, and from today she’s taken the title of an idol who unfairly bosses people around.

but i hope someone is curious about and will see the backside as well. it wasn’t long but during the time i spent with irene through album production, concerts, tours, advertisements, magazines, and many other schedules, she was different from all the negative rumors.

the staff and peers who’ve worked with irene not once, but for a long time find this witch hunt situation to be so unfortunate, and unlike what everyone thinks i hope you understand the truth that we dont have the same awful experience (like the hurt stylist did).

however, there is still someone who got hurt so a fault is a fault. this is something that she (irene) has to bear. i hope she works through this well and grows.
