I agree with you, gender definitely plays a part in how these situations are handled, but in his case, there’s also the fact that he was the CEO of Gold Medalist, the label that managed him. That kind of power and influence gives him far more protection than the average actor. The standards for how crimes are treated in the Korean entertainment industry are ridiculous. We’ve seen celebrities take their own lives over scandals like drunk driving or drug use, yet this guy groomed a minor and somehow walks away without consequence🤦♂️
I don’t want it to get cancelled because of KSH’s scandal because I’ll be watching it for Cho Bo Ah .She…
I completely get why you’d want to watch the drama for Jo Bo Ah. I also like her, and I do feel for her. At the same time, I’m a bit concerned about releasing it with KSH involved. The allegations have been around for a while, and some people are starting to forget about them. Giving him the spotlight now might risk him regaining support from those who have already moved on, which is something we have seen happen with other actors in similar situations. They'd take a break for a while, and once everything has died down, they'd come back into the industry like nothing had happened.
Oh super interesting your comment about Lee Seung-i, would you mind to explain why do you find him slightly unpleasant?…
Sorry for the late reply, I was gonna get back to this when I was less busy but ended up forgetting.
I don’t find him just slightly unpleasant but actually very unpleasant. I only felt slightly uncomfortable watching the show in general because I kept having to see him, even when I was trying to skip his parts.
I can seriously rant on for ages on why I find him very unpleasant. Here we go...
So, Lee Seung Gi lost a lot of my respect when he stood by his in-laws despite everything. His father-in-law’s scam was serious, involving tens of billions of won and many people getting hurt. Instead of owning up or distancing himself early, Lee Seung Gi defended them, which really shows where his priorities are. That “wholesome” image he had is basically destroyed because of this.
What makes him look even worse is how late he apologised and said he’d cut ties. He only did that after his father-in-law literally got arrested again and people got angry. It felt like damage control rather than genuine responsibility. If it wasn’t for all the public pressure, I bet he’d still be defending them.
I saw that a lot of people have been calling him out for this from the start. He used to be seen as a good guy who stood up against his agency and gave to charity. But then he married into a family of criminals involved in huge financial crimes and stayed silent for so long. And he still follows some of them on social media, so his “cutting ties” was basically a complete lie, I felt that he’s just trying to look good. It’s disgusting to see someone pretend to be decent only when it suits them, but turn a blind eye the moment things get real.
I feel really bad for the victims of the scam. Imagine people who worked their whole lives, saving every penny to invest, only to lose everything because of this scheme. Some probably had to sell their homes or take out huge loans to try and cover their losses. Others might have lost their retirement funds or their children’s education money, just imagine this...
Sure, Seung Gi might not have been directly involved in the scams. But the problem is he married into that family knowing their shady past, yet stayed quiet and didn’t distance himself from his in-laws when it mattered. Staying silent and not speaking out is still a choice, and it makes you part of the problem. In situations like this. It’s not just about what he did, but also what he didn’t do.
Its been a long time since I've watched a 16ep 1hr+ drama but here i am watched it in 1day. I thought to watch…
If you've finished the drama, were there any kiss scenes? I know it's not romance-focused. I watched it a long time ago when it first came out, so I've forgotten. I'm planning to rewatch it, but I was just wondering if the main couple kissed at the end or anything like that.
That was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! I loved every second and every bit!! The bond that community does is really impactful…
