Kim Bin-woo calls out malicious DM over Bali relocation

Actress Kim Bin-woo expressed her discomfort by revealing a malicious DM from a netizen ahead of her relocation to Bali, Indonesia.

In the early hours of the 14th, Kim posted a single photo on her SNS with the short caption, “Why are they being like this?” The photo contained the contents of a DM sent to her by a netizen.

The netizen sent a message to Kim saying, “Just go, why are you posting photos? Move away, don't come here.” This was a blatant expression of displeasure regarding Kim's recent announcement that she plans to start a new life with her family in Bali.

Instead of offering a lengthy rebuttal, Kim simply shared the message as it was and questioned, “Why are they being like this?” The move is interpreted as her expressing bewilderment at the aggressive behavior of users who target her SNS activities where she shares her daily life.

Kim personally announced her plan to move to Bali on the 2nd.

“It took a year to contemplate, experience, decide, and prepare,” she stated, adding, “It was not an easy decision, but we want to take on a new challenge before we get any older and while the children are still in our arms.”

She explained that the choice for her family's new life was not an impulsive decision but the result of approximately one year of deliberation and preparation. She also hinted at her desire to let her children gain new experiences in a different environment before they grow up.

Kim's move to Bali is garnering significant interest as it is a decision to relocate her family's entire base of living rather than a simple long-term trip. Accordingly, interest in her daily life shared during the preparation process and her future life in Bali is increasing.

However, on the SNS of celebrities, unfounded criticism and messages that invade private domains often follow alongside interest and support. In this instance, the controversy is escalating as the malicious DM Kim received while preparing for her new life has been made public.

Kim married a non-celebrity man two years her junior in 2015 and has a daughter and a son. Recently, she was embroiled in a noise controversy for dancing or using a microphone during a live broadcast in the early morning hours, and was also criticized for careless behavior while driving.

As she has faced various controversies in the past, this malicious message could potentially lead to a debate regarding the way celebrities' daily lives are consumed online, moving beyond simple personal criticism.

Ultimately, Kim has chosen a new challenge that changes the lives of herself and her family. While there is no need to agree with her decision, the disclosure of this malicious comment draws attention because there is no reason for others to judge how she chooses to live with her family using malicious language.
