I take your point, and largely don't disagree with your observations. I think the kicker, for Koreans (and rightly so), is that Japan STILL hasn't acted honorably, by apologizing; something even most rich a**holes have figured out how to do, at least for the sake of decency. By stubbornly refusing to apologize, and not reflecting upon their actions it says, to Koreans, 'FU - we don't care what we did. And you can't make us own up.' THAT makes it very hard for Korea, as a nation, to come to terms with it, and firmly put it into the past - because Japan is, essentially ,STILL disrespecting them today. 🙁
I just blocked the disgusting "netizen"/liar/rumor-monger/vicious piece of garbage, user "xGinax." Please do the…
After reading all the hate and petty moralziing here, I have decided to take your advice and block the troll. You, however, etoks21, I plan to follow, and send a friend request to. Thank you for spending your valuable time standing up for hard working actors who have to walk a real dangerous tight rope, just for the privilege of entertaining us.
Of course you don't. You are a self-righteous Korean, netizen-type psycho who sees herself as being in a position…
I firmly believe that what two consenting adults do behind closed doors is none of my damned business. I am not the Moral Police, nor do I want to be. If the Entertainment Industry itself wanted to sanction certain actors for a reasonable. specified, period of time, I could accept that - but ruining someone's entire life's work and career ... and universally degrading them for life ... no. that's just evil. Nobody's perfect. We all grow and change. and get better after making mistakes. People who have lives of their own are not wasting time ruining other people's lives. You get ZERO points for spitting on others.
Although I understand your thoughts and feelings, one thing about your post bothers me, and that is, that there…
Thank you for your perspective. On your advice, I discovered that the official Nazi Party leadership itself did not take John Rabe's views onboard. Certainly John Rabe (a Nazi party member) was horrified, so much so that he brought it to the attention of Nazi leadership, who were made aware of it. Since they were allied with the Japanese at the time, it seems understandable they did not choose to take it further. Japanese cruelty and brutality at the time, however, given Korean history alone, is well documented.
John Rabe: A Key Figure John Rabe documented the horrors he witnessed in his diaries, describing scenes of mass rape, executions, and extreme cruelty by Japanese soldiers. In a diary entry from December 13, 1937, he wrote:
"You hear nothing but rape. If husbands or brothers intervene, they're shot. What you hear and see on all sides is the brutality and bestiality of the Japanese soldiers."
Rabe used his Nazi Party credentials to protest to Japanese authorities, temporarily slowing some atrocities. After returning to Germany in 1938, he gave lectures and showed films of Japanese war crimes, and even wrote to Adolf Hitler, urging him to intervene diplomatically.
His actions led to Gestapo interrogation, and he was banned from speaking or writing about the massacre. This suppression indicates that while Rabe was personally horrified, the Nazi regime did not share or support his outrage

I have no reason to think The United States, as a whole, feels guilty about anything. I grew up there, because of my dad's job. They're currently exploding random small boats in the ocean, and bombing Nigeria. They have not even come to terms with their own civil war, which is still raging under Donald Trump - whom they elected TWICE - in their profound ignorance.
This is a tough one. I deeply condemn, and empathize with Korean sentiment regarding the horrific, inexcusable, vile, and downright shocking abuses perpetrated by occupying Japanese forces upon Koreans. I also fully agree that the sentiments being expressed by K-Netz are 100% valid, and come from from a very deep well of national, cultural - and even genetic - outrage. We pass trauma down through our very genes; even animals do - that’s how each generation safeguards the next one. (Hereditary genetics is part of my job).
The outrage is not only real, but visceral; inescapable. I’m from a country with a very similar history - so my heart is right there with Korean viewers. My country's occupiers are still here - and still making us second class citizens, with no real voice, in our own f… ing country. The only reason we’re still a country at all is because of our beloved mountains. The bast..ds didn’t know how to fight in the hills & mountains. They tried to kill our language, but we fought like hell for it. My anger for what happened to us is everlasting - and extends (instinctively) to include such outrage on behalf of all Koreans.
I feel guilty expressing this next thought (which clashes strongly with my feelings), but I think it may be a helpful one. I can’t help but wonder whether it’s this very deeply visceral, powerful 'never forget’ instinct, to forever be on guard against such trauma in the future … that causes us to be quite unforgiving, even against our own people.
I detest those of my own people that suck up to our occupiers, or worse, try to be like them, thinking it raises them above the rest of us. I cannot forgive it, or unsee it.
But is it healthy for our cultures to turn those very instincts inward against our own? Non Koreans are always ragging on K-Netz for being unforgiving, but they don’t realize it could just be part of a national trauma response.
It bothers me a bit how this Japanese kid grew up in a culture which, at one time, shocked (some of) the Nazis with its capacity for raw, inhuman brutality. The Japanese have now become the 'harmonious' Asians, presumably in atonement for their history. Germans also have grappled honestly with their history, and made changes (unlike the United States). This person didn’t do anything cruel himself, and only knew what he was taught. That interview was 20 years ago, when he was quite young.
My other concern is that Netflix - which plays a tremendous and helpful role in making Korean content international - might just get sick of spending huge money on Netflix Originals for Korea, only to lose its investment when Koreans ultimately reject that content for one reason or another. I sincerely hope my thoughts have not offended anyone. I just hope K-Netz are not, ultimately, precisely poised to shoot themselves in the face.
If in every trial it's said 'picture or it didnt happen', no abuser would have never been judged. So basic thought.
Soo ... do you think sex abusers get legally punished because of whoever shouts their unfounded OPINIONs the loudest? What I'm describing is "hard evidence" a photo, a recording, contemporaneous notes, etc. The chance of them proving anything against him at this point is very low, and they know it ... otherwise they would not have resorted to FRAUD, to get his money, as their first move. INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY ... that's the law.
All the veteran actors will be retired or dead, I guess they're making space for the "idol actors" to…
Jang Hyuk? Kim Nam Gil? I did not hear anything about them ... ??? I'm not suggesting you splash anything on here - but if you want to DM me, I'd like to know if something is really going on with them?
Sexual assault - and whether you believe it is that bad for him to retire lies in your morals
Just for an accusation, which he denies? Is there any actual PROOF of wrongdoing? By this standard anyone can report anyone else for anything, and we can just get rid of the courts and investigation services.
As long as we have people who report this kind of crap, the outcasting will continue. Media is seriously diabolical.…
If I were in Korea, I'd quite like the idea of making it my life's work to dig up dirt on people who spend their lives digging up dirt. Poetic justice. I like it. Might make an interesting client for Taxi Driver 4 😆
Dispatch🤣🤣🤣a tabloid hell bent on destroying lives. Making sure from the cradle to the grave not a single…
My sentiments precisely. So sick of hateful people and 'media' getting their thrills by ruining the lives of successful people. People can, and DO, change throughout the course of their lives. Nobody should have to relive their past in the public eye, once they have grown, and improved. Sick, sick, sick to death of this crap. Ju Jin Mo; Kim Su Hyeon; the pile of good careers that have been ruined over nothing ... is starting to stink.
