She expressed her unfair feelings and vented:

“I mean, it’s not like something I can do! Although, I can understand that people who loved my younger version could think like that. I think people could think that way.”

Aside from that, Eun Bi also complained about netizens pointing out her weight.

“She is too old.’ ‘She needs to lose some weight.’ I am an average person and want to live a normal life, but they keep saying something about me.”
