1. [+856, -34] How is it so easy to be parents? You can even go around using your child's name to scam people out of their money since it doesn't affect you, right? It's just your kids who'll end up with the burden~... Why would you ever demand responsibility of a parent's crime from their child? Tiffany came to Korea in 2004 when she was 16 years old and worked on her own to keep herself afloat before debut.
2. [+826, -36] No wonder I didn't see a father at her LA unni's wedding too... I didn't know Tiffany was still paying back his debts... Her father basically threw her away 7 years ago...
3. [+753, -39] I feel bad for her... I wish this whole thing would just stop unless the celebrity themselves actually committed the scam. It's not like these people chose to be born under such parents..
4. [+47, -4] Good job, Tiffany, your responsibility ends here. You have no reason to pay it back legally speaking. The reason previous celebrities have been getting hate over similar scandals is because of how they've been handling it. All the public needs for understanding is a genuine apology. There will be no arrows pointed at you.
5. [+44, -2] Hul, didn't Tiffany lose her mother at a young age too? All she has left is a father and he's no help to her life.. I feel bad for her.. I always felt there was something unstable about her but I now know it's because she never had family to lean on.
6. [+34, -1] Tsk tsk tsk, how dumb of her father. All he had to do was stay quiet and wait for his daughter to become famous as SNSD and he could just spend a comfortable retirement managing her real estate. All for that business greed, though.
7. [+26, -2] It's not just celebrity parents who are like this... there are a lot of parents in general who just aren't deserving of being parents. So many parents who just force themselves to raise kids they were forced to have. To those of you who were raised with love, please be grateful for that.
8. [+18, -3] Enough's enough. No more demanding a parent's debt from the child.
9. [+17, -2] Speechless to think she's already been paying back her father's debt. Please just cut him off for the rest of your life.
10. [+16, -1] I know it takes more than your average person to commit a crime but I guess you need to be ballsy enough to throw away your own family too

1. [+3,397, -28] Why do celebrity parents go around scamming people by using their children's name? Find strength... so many parents with unpaid debt. Celebrity trainees really do need to make sure their families have debts cleared before debuting now;;
2. [+836, -30] I feel bad for her... there's no reason for her to be paying back her father's debt
3. [+535, -30] ㅠㅠ Find strength
4. [+310, -6] Three years before the alleged scam, Tiffany was already living on her own in Korea. Haters keep accusing Tiffany of living off of scammed money but even the victims said they felt apologetic towards Tiffany ㅋㅋ
5. [+280, -2] Ah, I feel really bad for her ㅠㅠ Tiffany's mother passed away and she came to Korea with no support or money so she had to tutor while training. She even said before that she's not in contact with her father.
6. [+189, -3] This breaks my heart. Tiffany always said she's lived alone for most of her life and stayed in Korea for most of the major holidays instead of going back home to America. He left her with so much pain. Find strength.
7. [+184, -6] She suffered so much growing up and yet she always smiled. I feel bad that a sore part of her family history is being exposed like this ㅠㅠ Find strength, Tiffany, and keep promoting looking as bright as you always are!!
8. [+155, -6] I wish Tiffany happiness now.. ㅠㅠ
