Is there a petition for Disney+ to drop him?

I thought he has top lawyers. If they are advising him on what to say to the press, they suck. Here is an excerpt of the Daily Mail report:
"Gold Medalist has since refuted claims that they pressured Sae-ron to pay her debt, instead insisting that they found a way to resolve the debt legally as she was unable to meet the payments."

If KSH and agency had found a way to resolve the debt legally, why didn't they tell Saeron? Why didn't KSH answer her calls and texts? She was begging him for help regarding the debt she was being pressured to pay. He is not just a pedophile. He's a sadist too. He really drove her to her death. He is a murderer.

I think most, if not all, people who are being groomed are unaware they are being groomed, unless they're a part of a sting operation

Playing the victim... I expected no less from him. Mentally ill people resort to this when backed in a corner. It's their attempt at shirking responsibility. What a manipulative liar. Playing the victim when he has money and his powerful agency behind him. Compare that to Saeron’s situation, with no money and no such powerful backer, harassed by his fans…

Mdl seems pro-ksh. He is among kdrama artists with the most fans on this platform. And his dramas since 2020 are overrated while those of other actors in his generation are thrashed and downrated. I had wondered before whether this platform started off as a publicity site for him.

But it's not on the home page unlike other new articles. One has to select Articles from Home dropdown to get to this. Same as when one searches for Kim Soo Hyun, his name is the last one in the search results. One has to scroll down to find him. It's like there some setting in mdl that tries to make it hard for users to access comment sections about him.

she should be reported. i already did.

Boycott Prada!

Ohh, so that’s why they put his name at the end of the search results, so it will be hard to see him.

I’ve also been wondering why there is no mdl article about such a big issue

So, they started dating when she was 15. Meaning, he started courting or grooming her before that since her aunt said she didn’t like him at first. There’s a photo of them with his right arm around her shoulder and they’re both flashing peace signs. She looks like she was12 in that photo. Might his interest in her have started then? Eww! If so, might that be the reason he kept their relationship hidden, because he knew it was a crime? I wish the truth will be made known eventually, but he hired a top lawyer, meaning they can twist the truth and Saeron’s family around their filthy money.

There's something terribly wrong with him. Aside from pedophilia and his need to control Saeron thus refusing Won Bin's offer to help pay her debt, he and his agency sponsored hate trains against his co-stars in It's Ok To Not Be Ok and Queen of Tears. I won't be surprised if he sponsors/encourages hate trains against other kdrama actors too.

i think the difficulty was in doing something not done before. Maybe it was having to shoot in a space station or maybe simulating a space station.

The author recently met with Dylan to get his inputs for the second season. So, it’s in the works, not just officially announced.

Sang Sang loved him romantically though, so I doubt they’d be as close had he not reciprocated the feeling

When UL aired, Dylan was very hot. It was one of the reasons the drama got heavily censored. Though it’s low budget, his presence turned the drama into a “key project” attracting much attention from the censorship committee. Thus, the drama could have achieved a really high heat index. I don’t know if we’d ever find out how high it went. It really sucks that drama platforms manipulate views and indexes. It makes a joke of popularity and viewership charts.

I like having Ning Que and Sang Sang together. When the world was against them, it was good that they have each other to depend on.

Great point! LBFD team was really proud to achieve a 10k+ heat index that was 2nd highest (at the time) in iQiyi's history. Having a low-budget drama like UL achieving the same level of success would have undermined LBFD's glory. I'm curious now whether UL's real heat index was higher than LBFD's.

Oh yeah, I remember the hate comments directed at CYQ which I couldn't understand as I found her acting really good. She was able to effectively portray a tricky role of a naughty but intelligent princess who is pretending to be silly. Not only her acting but her big eyes got attacked as well, something that struck me as sour grapes since I thought Chinese people generally like big eyes. Then, after ep 20, not only CYQ but the whole drama started getting bad review and the viewership subsequently went down. Now that you mentioned it, it seems like a smear campaign to ensure UL did not exceed LBFD's success. Though I love LBFD, I really wish C-Ent doesn't play dirty games against any actor or drama. It's just making the whole industry so corrupt and not worthy to be taken seriously.

Oh yes, some haters even rate episodes that have not aired yet. This happens in Douban too, which is why I agree with comments here about not believing online scores, including mdl scores. Seems like the more WHD succeeds, the more haters hate him. It’s obviously caused by envy.

Exactly
