Innocent of what exactly? Grooming a minor, dating her, staying with her in her apartment alone, forcing her to leave her agency to join the one he owns so he would have more control over her, forcing her to switch messaging apps to one (Telegram) where the content quickly gets deleted automatically, or lying about it?

It's always so obvious in hindsight! I think we (most anyway) naturally want to think the best of people.

Now that you mention it, I just ate some with my sandwich. I hadn't realized! 🤣😂

Birds of a feather:

Lee Jin ho previously claimed that Kim Sae Ron's relationship with Kim Soo hyun was all a delusion, but it turned out to be a lie. LJH also claimed that KSR didn't work part-time, but it turned out to be a lie.

Kim Soo Hyun also claimed that he and Kim Sae Ron never dated, but it turned out to be a lie. KSH insisted he never visited KSR's apartment, but it turned out to be a lie.

No they are attempting to dirty his accuser to distract from his own culpabilities and sins.

Nothing they do to tarnish KSR diminishes the fact that he did what he did to her. He has already admitted a couple lies (never having dated, never visiting her apartment). He can't take that back. He's just desperately trying to change the narrative away from "he groomed an underage child."

We are saying the same thing

You have a cruel heart

The tragic loss of KSR, I think

Bullshit. You are projecting your own biases instead of researching actual facts. Neither Freewill, empathy, compassion, nor abortion are outlawed in America.

There are plenty of other women and organizations mobilized to support them. They are not hard to find and discretion is provided. No woman anywhere in the USA who wants an abortion is denied her choice by the government. Even in States where the prevailing values would prefer her to choose life, the hurdles are not onerous. This isn't as dire as you suggest.

That is entirely untrue. Abortion is legal (with various restrictions) in every state of the union and all territories.

I totally celebrate this 👏👏, but I've got to say CUCKOO is a terrible name for a company.

Cuckoo birds are insurgents—they invade and take over the nests of other birds. And "Cuckoo" is a derogatory term referring to insanity. We could say, "Those entrepreneurs were cuckoo for naming their brand CUCKOO!"

His whole world is shook. And this extends to the entire celebrity environment. I've no doubt that there are many who are waiting for the chance to speak truths they have long been unable to discuss for fear of reprisals. This scandal needs to be as the giant snowball picking up size and speed…

Currently in the USA there are more female college students than males. Also, more companies have women CEO's. (There are huge tax breaks for women & minority-owned businesses).

The women's rights movement has been going on over a century since the suffragettes won the right to vote. And it seriously kicked off in 1969 with the ERA movement. It's been all over our media for decades and ever since there has been a steady transformation in all aspects of society. I understand there are many pockets of the world where cultural norms have ancient roots. America is a melting pot of immigrants and is much more susceptible to what is broadcast and repeated endlessly on TV.

Which is why I suggest putting the pressure on his business partners instead.

FTFY *He wasn't considered a statutory rapist under the laws at the time. He most definitely was and is vulnerable to accusations of being a groomer.

A statutory rapist is an adult who has sex with a minor. There are laws to punish that. A groomer is someone who uses power and manipulation to behaviorally mold a susceptible target into doing their bidding (including sex). There aren't any laws to punish that. It happens all the time.

My first thought is always compassion for the victim. Quickly followed by rage against the perpetrator.

Reports suggest GoldMedalist is arranging a press conference for KSH. And he is continuing with plans to hold a fan event in Taiwan.

I would like to see activists outside each of these events with signs lamenting his behavior and lies and they should also include Disney, to put pressure on them to cancel the release of Knock Off. Make it so the media can't film outside the venues without capturing the outrage and the message.

"When Soo Hyun rapes a child, D+ is there to hold her down" (OK, that may be a bit much, but something along those lines.)
