At the same time, don't be delusional. We're not all equal and life's not fair. Best way to navigate is acknowledge ourselves in a realistic manner and do our best with what we've got.

Admit you've lost. She's not doing it "just to be seen by them" so your quote is less pertinent too.

Yes, she is better than me in every way I can imagine. I'm nobody, she's IU, there's no contest ☺️

Oh right, I didn't know that - apologies. That also sounds a bit strange! I also got it wrong about her last K-drama, it was Oct 22 so not last year, just over a year ago - so you had been deprived for longer than I thought.

Apparently she did a Chinese drama last year, it happens a lot when Korean celebs fall out of favour - she must be in need of constant cash flows - perhaps that's why she got into trouble in the first place.

It's publicising the charity so perhaps others might follow her lead.

Yes it is

Excellent, thanks for that

Is that how you judge what other people should do with their money, based on your priorities and what they can afford? That's communism isn't it? I'd like to see her do a bit less to reduce the heavy burden she's already bearing so she can rest and do what she wants. She already generates a hefty sum for the Korean economy; regarding her donations, she doesn't owe anyone that money, she's giving it away - much easier to tell other people to give away all their money, isn't it?

It's a serious offence because it funds criminal activity - don't ignore it because you can't see the crime. You're indirectly condoning crimes from theft to drug trafficking and paedophilia.

You make a good point, I like it though, the Korean celebrity conduct rulebook. Consider how the conduct of American celebs like Will Smith has damaged the entire institution, the entire public perception of Hollywood, The Oscars, etc. That's what happens when celebrities lose touch with reality, the hubris required to act out at a huge event is off the scale - suddenly the value of every asset Smith touched turned to dust. Every time a big mouthed American celeb makes their personal life public on sns, be it a personal crusade, vendetta, criticism, they damage that whole institution a little bit more. When they get caught taking drugs, committing crimes, a little more damage. And as a result, Hollywood has no respect today*, because the people that work there show no respect to it, and us. It isn't the case that social media destroyed Hollywood, it's the assumption that the people in the industry could do and say whatever they wanted without recourse. Please give me the South Korean system any day.
* There are a few dignified Hollywood stars left, such as Tom Cruise; as Spielberg said, he saved Hollywood, for now.

She's doing more than all of us put together, it's enough. She has no ulterior motive, every time I read about Korean celebrities' continuous donations and continuous support for good causes, not only with money but with their time, energy and love, I find it inspirational. It can be overwhelmingly burdensome to carry the weight of such responsibility but IU carries it. I think if you saw the total she's given away so far, at her young age, you'd be amazed.

Thanks... I'm a little averse to the term 'healing', when I hear it, it strangely makes me feel unwell, ironically - I tend to avoid anything described as 'healing' as a result. I guess I'm crazy.

Thanks👌

Everyone can be a victim. She's not new to the business, she knew the risks. Besides that, he wasn't really her boyfriend. She's either an idiot or a crook, take your pick. I made a guess based on probability... it could be she's both.

She was on your screen last year? What's your concept of a long time?

Her 'boyfriend' was involved in financial fraud and held accounts in the name of PMY. It looked a lot like she was involved tbh.

Sorry, not sorry. She isn't sorry.

Having multiple winners is just wrong, it's not an award ceremony, just patting themselves on the back. Song Kang? Looks like the My Demon trolling came from within SBS.
