[ENG] Another manager for female idols said, "There has never been anything bad said about Red Velvet Seulgi even among managers in the music industry. Even the idols I manage myself, I would tell them, 'You should be like Seulgi'. Of course, as a manager, [the incident] is just the job of a manager." He also said, "Even if I'm a man, if the size fits, I would have also switched shoes or bought her slippers. However, in the case of a public place like the airport, I would have made them wear sneakers that suit their outfit better than ordinary slippers would, if it was the sneakers in the photo which would have made no difference fashion-wise, I would have also made the same choice."

[ENG] A manager working with female idols said, "From the stance of a manager, it's just a typical part of our job. In any situation where female singers have to wear high heels and there are no extra sneakers, [managers] would often exchange shoes. It's the manager's job to make sure they can perform at their best, so I also have an experience where I gave [the idol] my shoes." "Even in the music industry, Seulgi is well known for having a good personality. Seeing this controversy made me think it's a severe case of 'aggression' [from netizens]. I think other managers would have the same stance."

[ENG] Managers from other agencies in the industry express that they feel sorry netizens made the incident an issue. An industry insider who asked not to be named said "As a manager, it seems to be a meticulous and considerate, and even with a professional spirit, so how can one frame this as [redacted]?" They added, "Seulgi is a singer who has been known in the industry to be polite, so I feel even more sorry that they turned this into an issue."
