This isn't a Korean website, it's based in the US.
Aside from being rude, it is your reading comprehension that is at fault here. I repeat, this is a US based website; they know exactly what the word 'scandal' means in English, still they choose to use it for clickbait without any consideration toward the actor/actress receiving it. There is no justification for this. Lastly, making assumptions about my knowledge of Korean culture without knowing me at all makes you the dumb one, not me. Don't assume you know better than anybody else and learn some basic manners with which to address other posters.
That seems to be a South Korean thing. Cho Byeong Kyu isn't the only one whose life was ruined by bullying allegations.…
"I'm pretty sure CBK isn't all innocent in this situation,...". And there you are, casting aspersion on the victim of unproved allegations. So it's not just a Korean thing, is it.
