#IreneApologize# Seeing this trend, I was not at all surprised. Irene is indeed beautiful, but she’s very rude. (If I spoke on it, it would go over 1000 characters) Whoever has worked with her, will know. I think that locally, only I’ve worked with her. Her face is wasted on her.

Upon further research, netizens uncovered that Belle Shao has worked for multiple celebrities. Specifically, she worked with Red Velvet for the CHIC Magazine September spread back in 2018.

I just want to say that it’s true. Given that they are a foreign group, I only worked with her for a day. But the Korean staff that has to work with her every day, they have it the worst. They all shiver in fear. She completely doesn’t she anyone but herself.
