With Miss A's popularity slipping and Suzy, their most famous member, being thrust even further in the spotlight, the public is growing weary of her and there are fears of overexposure. Netizenbuzz.com takes a look at some recent articles on the proclaimed "Nation's First Love," and her fizzling popularity. Let's take a look!

1. [+437, -138] Really......... I was so frustrated watching the show because of her. She basically acknowledged that all she did during school was sleep and fool around.. and it's not that I hate Suzy for that, but reality. Just because she's pretty, she can get cast as a celebrity and do well like this. I'm not saying that you need to do well in your studies but for her to say that all she did during school was stack chocolate milk cartons and sleep... and now she's a celebrity making money... When there are other kids that study hard and still can't get into good colleges or find jobs. If you're not as pretty as Suzy, you're stuck doing menial jobs like delivery work or part time jobs.. Looks like being pretty really is everything. Suzy's not even that talented as a celebrity...
2. [+199, -40] Yeah ㅋㅋㅋ She really did brag about sleeping in class
3. [+222, -136] I saw her jr high school pics so yeah, she's pretty and I can understand why she was asked out.. but now... She's not as pretty as Ga-In or IU, who look more normal/natural.

1. [+294, -116] Does Suzy have a contract where it's mandatory that articles about her are written every single day? Why the hell is this even worth an article?
2. [+310, -141] They're really overhyping Suzy... I get that her face is important for her career but this is really too much
3. [+382, -215] Suzy has such an empty head, I'm embarrassed for her tsk tsk

1. [+71, -25] Go Hyun Jung's face is really funny ㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+64, -33] Suzy >>>>>> Ga-In >>> IU ... in terms of leg thickness
3. [+59, -31] How is it that there is not one day that goes by without a Suzy article? I get today because she was on a show, but the majority of her articles are about stupid crap. If this was any other star, they'd be kicked out of the industry by netizens with all of this media play, but I guess people are letting it go because it's Suzy.

Article: 'Nation's First Love' Suzy is at risk of losing her innocent image

Another editorial by the same outlet that named her the sole breadwinner for JYP Entertainment now talking about how she basically shot herself in the foot by being dumb during her guesting on the 'Go Show', where she revealed she did not study at all and just slept every day in school.
The article also touches on how the extreme spotlight on her has basically erased the rest of the miss A members from the public, which is probably why their comeback isn't doing so well.
The editorial lists a bunch of examples where she essentially shot herself in the foot with stupid things she's said that is gradually making her lose favor with netizens, such as not knowing basic high school knowledge on 'Running Man', yelling at host Kim Yong Man on '1 Billion Quiz Show', and finally her school career, or lack thereof, on the 'Go Show'.
1. [+1,133, -585] She's fuc*ing stupid... How can she proudly say that she slept from first period all the way until clean up time?? She said that sleeping during class was like a law to her ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
2. [+924, -493] I had a positive image of Suzy until I watched her smile and proudly say that all she did during school was sleep and eat ramen. Does she not have any brains in that head of hers?
3. [+938, -543] Honestly, she was really disrespectful on the 'Go Show'
4. [+236, -38] What's hilarious to me is that... she has all these nicknames like 'Nation's Little Sister' and 'Nation's First Love' but no one has EVER called her that. It was all made up by the media outlets and media play done by her company. Has anyone really ever nicknamed her that? She's being treated like some big star ever since she starred in Introduction to Architecture. Yeah, she's innocent and pretty but don't act like we are the ones calling her all these nicknames. So I just think it's funny how this outlet is saying that she's at risk of losing this image that was basically created by the same media outlets. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hilarious, isn't it?
5. [+231, -84] I'm sick and tired of her... please stop coming out already...
6. [+215, -97] She was acting so cocky sitting in the front row of the Daejong Film Awards.. And in front of so many high seniors, she laughs about not being able to win the rookie award and how she's disappointed about that
7. [+201, -100] Looks like Park Jin Young never taught her how to behave on TV. In just one moment, she went from being the Nation's First Love to a stupid delinquent because of her careless words on the Go Show.
8. [+189, -81] I figured out from Running Man when she didn't know any of the famous quotes that the more she opens her mouth, the more she's losing for herself. Her company knows that she's their last hope so they media played so hard about her being the Nation's First Love.. They should've just kept it at that. Suzy basically brought this upon herself.
9. [+171, -21] I really can't say that she's goddess-like for a celebrity. Some of you guys have never seen a real goddess it seems.
10. [+166, -30] Even when she's performing with miss A, the cameras are all focused on Suzy. Matter of time before discord within the group happens...

really upset by this? guess it means my girl UEE might make a comeback as the national sweetheart tho <3
I think :
- That Suzy doesn"t care about this "Nation's first love" pedo bs, so it's for the best. She should go all uber sexy preying mantis for their next song
- That JYP an AQE are a mess of a management team. It's them who fucked up Miss A's popularity and comeback with a weak song + showing down Suzy on everyone and their mother throats, to the point it has become ridiculous.
- And aren't these shows scripted to the bone ? Or OMG!!!1! maybe Suzy slept in class. Korea is sf hypocritical, I can't. And these scandalized netizen never slacked off in school and joke with people about it after ? Please.
I don't know what I got lastly, but all these idol faux-scandals are pissing me off.
Guess I should concentrate on cute Soshi airport pics.

and there is no scandal involving suzy, but some wish there was because she is friends with iu and jiyeon.
Girls, your reign is over.
Dasom is coming for the throne, tbh.
second; the mediaus article is utterly bullshit, they tend to post things that came out of they asses and they tend to be very anti-jyp as they LOVE to ignore actual facts.
third; suzy does not give a fuck, in fact she would absolutely ADORE to lose an image that she never liked having and that never fit her true self, especially because the title was created based on her character in a movie and not her real personality. suzy for years never wanted to play the cute maknae part and never did so, she always was blunt, 4D and tomboyish and she always said she couldn't wait until she was an adult so she could have a mature and sexy image that she wants to badly. plus miss a said itself, with suzy being an adult in 2013 they'll have a full on sexy concept, that was all that they were waiting.
fourth; the OP remains a tacky thief.
errrrr pretty sure neither have you. I used to take these seriously but now I realize that they're just people on twitter and other social media, cats forbid people take what i say on twitter seriously
"Why the hell is this even worth an article?" This applies to most articles that you'll see on K idols LOL.
btw i'm not saying that netizen's reactions are fair, just saying i can see where some of the backlash is coming from. it's not a coincidence that the batshit crazy guy that was so heavily invested in Tablo's education/Insooni's daughter etc was a Korean. it's an unfortunate side effect of korea's education culture.
koreansAsiansftfy
she's still really popular and i'm sure neither her nor iu give a fuck about this title.
lol, because Suzy is so unnatural and doesn't look normal at all.
cyborg imo.
<consults wiki>
Obviously there might be a huge discrepancy in sales, but peaking at #3 rather than 2 (Touch) or 1 (GBB) doesn't exactly come across as horrific failure to me (though I guess it's telling that the other songs on the mini didn't chart nearly as well as the other songs from Touch or A Class).
and not really, sure, IDNAM didn't sell as much as their previous singles, but it wasn't bad at all, it never dropped top ten, people are overreacting because it didn't win an award, but it was competing against psy, dbsk and gain, plus it often was 2nd/3rd/4th in the ranks to win the award. they are still selling more than most girl groups out there.
ahhh i love suzy, i don't get the hate. :(
also i think miss A lost a lot of their popularity after BGGG though, like after that it was never the same. whats JYP doing? I feel like he's lost that "big 3" spot tbh
Suzy has said in IY2 and others, that she feels burdened by the title that the media gave her because she's not some demure, soft-spoken girl. She's shown time and again how boyish and 4D she can be. tbh, I like that she didn't change herself to fit the 'role' given to her. She kept it real and kept it straight. The people acting like she's all of a sudden acting up didn't gaf about her as a person, just as a character in a movie. Watch her on a show for five seconds and she's far from what they think a 'nation's first love' should be.
Also, the thing about slacking off in school--she used to travel to and from Gwangju and Seoul for training, not to mention the long hours of practice she had to do. And even if she slept in the like, lbr, elementary school/early education doesn't really mean squat, besides, when they have talked about her grades she did relatively well anyways. People are nit-picking at this point. She's an idol and has always wanted fame--is it that bad that she's not super intelligent?
And lbr, the media is the one asking for her as a guest and the company is complying. The issue is that JYPE/AQE isn't trying to get the older girls involved as well and are banking on Suzy alone to make bank + promote for them.
It's really unfair to the older girls and to Suzy for have to run herself ragged only to get her name dragged through the mud. Especially now that IU has joined Jiyeon in "idols that have done something scandalous/sexual" and both happen to be her best friends.
Same goes for Hyuna. Who cares if you're sick of hearing about her? Has she really done anything worth hating? People need to keep in mind that idols are people, and especially when they're as young as they tend to be these days, words can have a horrible impact - especially when people don't fully think about a situation or what they feel about it before saying hurtful things.
