I think it’s going to be a mix of outright denial, deflecting blame, and making vague statements like “I only dated her after she turned 18.” The no Q&A approach seems like a deliberate move to avoid getting cornered when people bring up evidence—or possibly even Sulli’s case.

Yeah, I still remember how easily they dismissed Jiwon, acting like she was the one getting unnecessary attention—when in reality, she carried the show and absolutely owned her role.

Exactly. Any fan who remains unfazed after so many revelations is just delusional. And honestly, I remember saying even back then that anyone who resorted to s-shaming Sae Ron was downright vile. There’s no justifying that kind of behavior. Plus, there was absolutely no reason for a cheek-to-cheek picture to exist unless they were undeniably close.

I genuinely believe most people have forgotten how divided the audience was back then. There were those who loved *QoT*, those who didn’t, the shippers, and then KSH’s toxic fans who couldn’t stop attacking Jiwon—claiming he gave her fame. When in reality, his three most iconic dramas—*My Love from the Star*, *It’s Okay to Not Be Okay*, and *QoT*—are still remembered for their legendary female leads.

Exactly. I get that some celebrity friendships are genuine, while others might just be colleagues who seem close but aren’t truly friends. But if fans constantly push the "best friends" narrative, then when one of them is exposed, you either hold them accountable and separate the friendship from the issue or admit that they knew all along and chose to stay silent. Can't have it both ways.

I agree. The double standards are unreal. When it was all about flaunting friendships and associations, no one had a problem. But now that he's being exposed, suddenly it’s “don’t drag others into this.” If they were complicit in covering for him, they should be held accountable too.

I believe their current strategy is to stay silent until the criticism fades. GM initially planned to hold a conference featuring people who knew Sae Ron, but that fell apart when people called them out for trying to deflect the allegations against KSH by smearing her character—accusing her of two-timing her husband, having an abortion, and more. I’m not sure if any of it is true, but even if it were, none of it justifies KSH’s actions or serves as his defense.

Finally, someone said it! I mentioned this a few days ago, and I’ll say it again—if something bad happens, stop victim-shaming the victim’s family. If you think families are to blame for a crime, then hold the perpetrator’s family accountable too. And if you don’t believe in that, then don’t blame either side. Simple as that.

Script for KSH's next melo kdrama

Almost a year since this show aired, and I’m still not over it.

After seeing those text messages, all I can say is shame on anyone who tries to defend this 🤮. A man in his late 20s had absolutely no business discussing such intimate things with a minor. And for those claiming the chats are fake because the profile picture is from 2020—I'm not sure how KakaoTalk works exactly, but like most messaging apps, if a user changes their profile pic at any point, it updates across all past conversations. As for KSH defenders, there’s no point arguing with them—their narrative shifts every second. First, they demand evidence, then they want it proven in court. The truth is, they just refuse to accept that their *oppa* is a pedo.

I can't help but quote Olivia Rodrigo's *Vampire*: *"Went for me, and not her / 'Cause girls your age know better."*

"Did you groom a minor?"
Answer: Well, well... you said groom—that was her husband.

The husband has given a statement: https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kim-saeron-husband-full-statement-assault-blackmail/?cb=9kttpw

Guys, check out this article: https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kim-saeron-husband-full-statement-assault-blackmail/?cb=9kttpw. It confirms that Sae Ron was indeed married, but the marriage was annulled. However, the claims about abortion and abuse are said to be false by the husband himself.

Ikr, he was so cute especially in the ep where they were trying out clothes 🤌🏻

The team members were so cute. Loved them shipping the leads in ep 11.

Ok, got it.

However, I must say the plot could have been better. I am also tired of watching chaebols who have been through personal traumas and have family issues.

Adults should be allowed to love whatever they want, especially more so considering many kids don't get to do what they love as a kid. Live and let others live the way they want
