It's true that overseas filming boosts local economies via spending on permits, which can range from $50k to $200k a day for crew accommodations, equipment rentals, and tourism promotion. In most cases, it's the latter.
A Shanghai shoot might inject $1-5 million for China for the drama Delusion, but this amount is completely negligible, as China's domestic entertainment industry alone generates an annual revenue of about $330 billion.
In comparison, K-drama exports total around $200 million maybe, according to a 2023 report by Statista and PricewaterhouseCoopers, while South Korea's total cultural content industry generates just $79 billion.
KSH is one the greatest person to ever live. He is on the same level as Kim Jong Nam, Diddy, and R-Kelly. He is…
ππ You're just going to tire yourself out. His parasocials have created over 500 bot accounts to defend him because they have no lives.
He's going through a hard time in his life right now. They sent him champagne and cakes, fruit baskets and snack hampers, which are meant for celebrations. They don't understand these items are automatically considered biohazard and safety risks, and will just end up in the bin according to standard security protocols.
You can't reason with such ignorant and stupid people.
every evidence he provide have contradicted your defamation of him and the family, so no matter what you write,…
"Every evidence" Where? Even his latest was not an evidence. It's a film schedule? Are you not aware that film schedules are simply pre-shooting plans? Why won't he back it up with the actual Daily Production Report? The report would've confirmed when filming actually began, when breaks were taken, and when filming actually ended.
And even then, both the film schedule and DPR are flimsy counter-evidence. Saying that "he couldn't have travelled to meet her bc he didn't have 2 hours to spare" is ridiculous. Who said he had to travel all of those 2 hours? They could have met somewhere in between locations. She could have gone to him.
This movie even changed directors towards the end of the shoot, the director was none other than his own cousin, Lee Sa Rang! The Korean film industry is known universally as highly hierarchical where nepotism is also rampant. Kim Soo Hyun at that point was already an A-lister, the most babied diva on set. Would his own cousin not give him, the main lead actor some leeway or needed off-times if he had requested it? There are so many variables in this equation and you're all so simple-minded to brush it all with, "oh yeah look at this schedule he couldn't have had met her at all" just give me a bloody break.
When I say you guys have no common sense and unable to critically think, I mean it and I will say it over and over again.
couldn't even get past the first few episodes. seo yea ji is lovely, but her character is unlikeable. that other dude is fine, but his character is so contrived. he's always choosing roles like this. "i'm a victim, i'm so pitiable" meh his parasocials have blurred the lines between reality and fiction and now they think he's truly a victim as well
Is this worth watching? The first 3 eps are so boring
it sucks. i don't even know why it's so hyped. this is just another one of those rich boy-poor girl, rich boy trauma-illness stories but gender-reversed.
his fans are pathetic. spreading fake news saying the evidence was fabricated now? they weren't fabricated. if they were, his lawyers wouldn't be having such a hard time trying to close the case and restore his reputation. the police wouldn't be taking such a long time to investigate. i don't expect parasocials to have critical thinking, but it seems they don't have common sense either.
Instead of addressing the 30-year-old man who wrote 'I miss you' and 'let's go to school together' to a minor, you're arguing about who's uglier. π₯± I don't care if you think he's handsome. Plenty of us are still entitled to our opinions about his looks. He's a public figure. He was brand ambassador for cosmetic companies. You're telling everyone else to seek help for criticizing a groomer, while you're spending your day defending one. Absolute moral bankruptcy.
Parasocials' principle: Their 'difference of opinion' must be respected, while everyone else's is treated as a personal attack on their favourite idol.
His acting is just mid anyway, and not even that handsome. I couldn't finish any of his dramas. His face was forgettable before this scandal even though most people around me used to talk about him. I can remember his face now, though. Especially the crying ones on Getty Images. ππ Thank goodness everyone I know have dropped him for good and moved on.
Doesn't he come from a powerful family? Suspicious. Anyway I've never liked him. So whatever.
may he retire permanently and *** ***

The one losing money is South Korea, not China.
