In the revealed photos, Seo Dong-joo is seen posing in front of a window overlooking the California landscape in the United States.

However, a netizen left a malicious comment on the post saying, "I hope you get the virus for life, especially in California," to which Seo Dong-joo replied, "Oh, why such a curse?" expressing her bewilderment.

Earlier, Seo Dong-joo had shared her feelings about the racial discrimination against Asians while explaining the situation in the United States amid the spread of the novel coronavirus infection.

She said, "I am worried about the coronavirus, but I am more concerned about the increasing racial discrimination," adding, "In the U.S., if an Asian wears a mask, people think they have the coronavirus, so it is easier to face racial discrimination," revealing her difficulties.
