Love it for him🤗

I think with a drama like this people don't understand nuances. That good people can be bad and that bad people can also be good depending on the situation encountered. I think we as viewers have been conditioned to believe that there is only one way-its either you are a villain or you are a hero/protagonist. This is the usual formula that writers work with and who can blame them.-It sells.

For me- I am not ignoring Ajin's behavior but I am able to see that her background shaped who she became but that does not excuse her behavior because she knew exactlywhat she was doing despite coming from a broken home/background -she chose to break and use those around her as retribution for her pain. She was taught that if she doesn't trample on others then she herself will be trampled on.

All the other characters are all broken and messed up individuals as well and they have all made questionable choices as well. Therefore, who do we blame? Is it society or should we pinpoint towards all of our characters individualities?

For me- I say that all characters were placed in a messed up world and the selfish decisions of others affected the decision that they eventually took. It just that some were worse than others . That is why Ajin has so much pushback (as she should cause she's not a saint) but the others are all complicit to the bad things they also did.

Dear X is not your typical fairytale drama and I think that it is a great drama because of that. I love reading everyone's thought process to what they felt and understood while watching this drama.

💯

Exactly- initially I felt sorry for him due to Ajin's manipulation but as time went by I realized he enjoyed being the one that Ajin would turn to and that in itself is psycho because he didn't want her to get better and be healed but he wanted to be the one she depends on and looks to which is selfish.

The late actor Lee Sun-kyun can absolutely be used as an example in this case. His case as you know involved him being accused of drugs and going to a brothel. Though both cases are different -yet the backlash both experienced are the same. The pull from advertisements, compensation fees due to the scandal and even the immense cyberbullying. The outcome was the same in terms of the backlash- yet they had different scandals

Your thought process tells me that you believe that the late Lee Sun-kyun case was tragic as we all know though he was later confirmed to be innocent of the drug accusation yet the case for KSH is different because he is accused of a delicate issue being the alleged sexual and predatory exploitation of KSR when she was a minor.
Remember this that -despite your belief in him being guilty - he has not been confirmed to be through the official police investigations being carried out. Your presumption of him is that he is guilty before he is even proven to be guilty. This is all I am getting from what you are saying.

On my side what I am saying is that the family has cause to make a false accusation for various reasons I will not spend time retelling and that the man might be a victim of false accusation which is the same thing that happened to the late actor Lee Sun-kyun. He was accused - investigated but the public felt that he was guilty and due to this - he made a terrible decision.

What caused this? Public backlash and cancellation. The same thing happening to KSH.

This is my last thought as we can't keep going back and forth.:
You believe he is guilty- ok.
I believe that he is a victim of false accusation- ok
The ongoing investigation will tell us who is lying and who is telling the truth. However I will repeat that the only reason I stand firmly against what people are doing in this comment section is because of the name-calling and vile words spoken against KSH. These things are detrimental and harmful to all in society regardless of whether you think he is guilty or innocent.

Wrong again. Your reasoning is all speculative.

That is okay. You are free to support whoever you want.

I personally can also never live with myself to know that someone's life's work and years of toil have been wasted away and ruined beyond repair by the possibility of false accusations and rumors.

Ive watched this happen to late actor Lee Sun-kyun who was later found innocent and late actor Song Young kyu who died due to the backlash from his DUI. These were all self-inflicted and could have been prevented if the situation was different but the same happened with KSR.
She faced immense cyberbulling that did not allow her to have an opportunity to work again.
So yeah, I understand why you support and won't claim otherwise.

You know there were alot of things happening in KSR's life that made her so pitiful and I understand why people choose to believe KSH is guilty because there needs to be someone that must be held accountable for what happened to her.She suffered terribly at the hands of the very people that were supposed to protect her.

He called himself a coward due to being afraid of how the rumors of his relationship with KSR would affect QOT which he was currently filming and he decided to deny the allegations and you can absolutely check GM's statement. which states that KSH was currently not dating KSR.

When the rumors exploded-he explained his stance through his press conference. You and I both know that Korean actors deny dating rumors until they can't anymore. Why should KSH be crucified for something like that?

Thank you for this question. This is where the courts come in. After a thorough investigation -the police/judges investigating this scandal will tell us who is lying.... Something I've been saying this whole time.
In my own capacity I've chosen to believe that KSH is telling the truth and you can decide to choose to believe whatever you want as well but something that is absolutely UNFAIR and very wrong to do is to call this man names such as 'pedophile ', 'groomer ', 'murderer' and even go as far calling him a 'rapist' . That is wicked, harsh and defamatory. That is my problem.

Let the investigation results confirm if this man is guilty or innocent.

I didn't know this....Wow😆

I was thinking the same thing because isn't such information illegal to expose of a person if you are not law enforcement?

They are literally and figuratively killing these celebrities. That's S.korea for you. Just a rumor and your career is over.

Wrong, GM initially denied the dating rumors being that they were currently not dating as at that time- and it was true that they were not dating at that time. The solid proof you speak of is false.

Hi there ,
Firstly I want to thank you for your response. You have given your opinion respectfully which I admire.

Also thank you for explaining the situation regarding the mole as I was not aware of it as there's just too much going on with this case. Everyday-there's something new.

The mole is not enough evidence that KSH dated KSR when she was a 'minor' -if you are going to use the mole as a plausible excuse for their dating time period. I say this because;
1. As you mentioned- maybe the mole was regrown - mole removals are not permanent even if you undergo laser removable therapy. Therefore, we don't know as there are no confirmations to this claim.
2. The period of him having or not having his mole does not confirm the period KSH's and KSR's dating period. We need to know what date those pictures were taken and GM confirmed that these pictures specifically the cheek-on-cheek picture were during the period 2019-2020. This is also something that is to be confirmed with metadata to proof GM's claim hence the investigation that is currently happening.
3. Photos also constantly get edited and modified and people also use filters .I am not saying that this is the case for KSH and KSR but that it is a possibility and that possibility leads to where we get people making assumptions instead of finding the facts to the situation.

So I agree with you that due to the intensity and scrutiny of the scandal that there should be an answer to everything and it should be investigated but the mole argument is too weak because it is once again-speculative. By speculative - I mean -one side says that this could have happen that's why its like this and the opposing side says that this could have happened that's why its like this resulting in no definitive conclusion.

With regards to the grooming allegations - because KSR was a child actress that was heavily monitored by the public eye and KSH being the famous celebrity that he was back then all the way from the days of 'Dream High'. I do not believe that there was any way of KSH grooming KSR without the knowledge of the adults around her. A groomer is someone by definition who builds a deceptive relationship to exploit the victim for either sexual, financial or other forms of exploitations and they ensure that the victim is threatened/manipulated by them which keeps the victim in being silent and isolated from their loved-ones. So with that in mind - where did KSH find the time to do all of this and where was KSR's mother when this was happening? This is a very important question.

Lastly- yes there was a maturity and large age-gap of 12 years but that doesn't prove the 'minor' dating allegations being that he abused her and took advantage of her, That is your assumption based on their age-difference and it will be an opinion until there is irrefutable proof of KSH abusing KSR.

I am constantly saying irrefutable proof because this accusation is SERIOUS and if KSH is innocent (which I believe) -then that means he has been lied against and his career with all that he has built has been ruined by LIES.

Therefore, we can't use the 'mole', the pictures they used as those taken in 2016 was confirmed to be taken in 2019 so we can't use their pictures. We can't use their text messages because that's also currently being investigated and even the very metadata presented is questionable because what report gets released on an excel sheet? We can't use the audio recording as it is AI. We can't even trust the time period they speak of as they keep on changing their minds on dates when this relationship occurred. They have no consistent story and that stems from a lie.

So how can you trust that they are telling the truth?

Just an observation I've had on this comment section....The only reason you can't argue with 'them' is because ya'll are fixated on the false claims and are hiding under the word 'pedo' with no factual backing but emotions. Maybe that's why you are unable to argue with 'them'...

Absolutely agree. They were all crazy even Jae oh....🫠

I actually liked the ending as it solidified the stance that everyone including Jun Seo was just PLAIN crazy.... That last scene when Jun Seo told Ajin that he loved her sent chills down my back....Because i was thinking there's no way he's going to do what I think he was going to do and HE DID THAT 😲..... I'm now thinking - who do I blame...

In usual dramas we have our obvious protagonist and antagonist so we get to root for the main lead and completely hate the villian but there was nothing like that in this drama. EVERY single character BE CRAZY 😆 and they twist scenarios to meet their desires.

So please keep that in mind. Honestly human beings are inherently selfish- as every character had an AGENDA even Jae Oh....

Kim Yoo Jung was WOW..She slayed this role and deserves a Baeksang..🙌🏽🙌🏽
Dear X was a good thrilling and thought provoking drama.Loved it 🤗

🤣🤣🤣.... Girl, not me fighting in that comment section🤭.... I've been called a gaslighter and pedo-defender for stating obvious truths BUT the truth shall prevail. My only motive is to correct the narrative. They are so emotionally charged-its crazy😬...

Thank you for this question my dear.
That family has given us so many different dates that is is so hard to keep up. They are not consistent with their accusations.

1. She started dating him when was 15 years old
2. They later gave evidence of the chats from June 2016 when she was 16 years old. That this is also when she started dating him
3. She was 17 years old when they were supposed to meet up from his military leave. They also exchanged letters during this time and this is also when she started dating him.
4. They released the fake AI audio-recording in which KSR says that she started dating KSH when she was actually 13 years old and they had already had sexual relations.
5. The recent unsent letter in the memo was citied to be when she was 15 years old and showing proof that they were dating.

So what is the truth? This is the problem I have Yet the accused has consistently stated and has provided his 'proof'' of their dating period being 2019-2020. That is my problem with the family. If you claim something- stick to it -don't give me variations and stories. That is the problem I have. But because KSH is accused - KSR is dead and the bereaved family has accused him - KSH is now STAMPED as GUILTY.
