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.

I love her.

Thanks 👍

Thanks 🙏

Is anyone watching Samdalri? I couldn't get motivated to go past first episode... lmk, no spoilers. I think it's fatigue from the 2 leads, but their characters' personalities both rubbed me up the wrong way too... come to think of it, the trio of ladies was like King The Land, the setting was like cha-cha-cha, maybe I'll pick it up again in 6 months.

Can we ban Happy Birthday comments? They only make sense on one day of the year, yet they stick around forever. She isn't going to read this page either.

I see what you mean, by international you mean an American-based multinational platform. Maybe Netflix will add it later, do a deal with Viki if Viki got the exclusive, as it appears to have. I'm through with Viki now, fed up with the disrespectful attitude, I'll just miss dramas not on my favourite platforms.

Thanks, I understand how you feel.

It looked like almost all of the guests wore mainly black, I assume in memory of Lee Sun-kyun.

It's not about me, I don't need to qualify my comments. Can you imagine a world where all but a few opinions were disqualified? That's a good topic for a dystopian drama.

Wow, that's deep. You mean 'in stark contrast'.
