You're right, we don't know for certain what those people feel. I was just stating the fact that it is major news in the mainstream media (as well as other Asain countries), and therefore I can only assume people will have strong feelings about this. And many people are easily influenced by the media and you probably know several examples. I wish that the media would stop making a controversy out of this because they can affect her image, so we can only expect apologies from her team. What she says can be seen as something good or something bad, and the media chose the latter. And they can label things that shouldn't be, like "scandal". To me some "scandals" are just misunderstandings like in this case. Any celebrity then should be aware of what they do in public especially when people like to criticize others for anything they do, even the opposite.
I was only critical of Ayu for her shallowness. Nothing more. No, I'm not saying she should apoloigize for walking down the street. Instead, I wanted her to acknowledge that maybe she had forgotten or didn't realize about the safety issues involved and just pay that fine. If that happened, there's not much to criticize because she was honest and paid the fine like what any good citizen would do. However, her reaction did not display that and the media will pick up on that and turn it into something it should not have been. That was my concern and this is my way to show concern for Ayu, so please do not misinterpret what I said.
