I rewatched the drama before watching this movie because of how nostalgic I felt. Damn, I'm glad I was able to grow up with Onizuka. Either the manga, anime or drama. He really raised me 🥲
The movie was so good because we were able to see the cast once again. I didn't care much about the story (though Onizuka is much needed in today's world), it's clearly fan service. I wish we had more though, like a full season.
Unless they actually looked into every single participant and had solid evidence that they were participating…
Oh I see, it makes sense. Thanks! It's always disappointing to see the wrong people getting attention. I guess that's what some people feel about P. Diddy right now too.
Anyway, thanks for the exchange and for being respectful all along 😊 Hope you have a great day/evening!

Oh yes, got you. I actually agree, it’s on me for phrasing it that way. What I was trying to get across at the time was more like, "You should be cautious of everyone" especially since people often seem "shocked" when celebrities get caught up in scandals like this. Even for the Burning Sun Scandal, only the idols were convicted, while higher-ups like Kim, politicians, and wealthy figures involved faced no real consequences. Idols are usually the first to be "sacrificed" in these situations because, in the grand scheme, they’re not as "important."
My main point was to call attention to the influential people behind the scenes, as this is a problem we see in every country, and I was disappointed that it wasn’t really highlighted in the documentary.
Btw, why did the Taeil incident shook the industry? How is that different from any other idol scandals like Himchan or Kris? I mean, it's not really something new in the k-pop industry.

I didn't mean to name names, as I already said in a previous comment. In South Korea, it’s common practice to avoid revealing the names of criminals to "protect" them, while often disclosing the names of victims. They actually have plenty of names- they admitted this themselves in official statements at the time- but they chose not to reveal or punish them. And yes, the chat rooms are still active. In fact, there’s a new case emerging from there: the deepfakes case. It's men sharing pictures of their sisters, mothers, daughters, school friends, etc., and creating deepfake pornographic videos of them.
I’m not sure who Taeil is or what’s trending on TikTok, but they did give an estimate of the number of "buyers" they could identify, and it’s a lot, especially for a small country. So yes, it could be anyone. To give an example, there’s a case in France right now where a woman was "offered" by her husband and assaulted by over 90 men, all within a 25 km radius. Probably more because the husband admitted it was happening at least twice a week for 10 years! These aren’t strangers- they’re people with everyday, important roles: firefighters, journalists, students, prison guards, nurses, even local councillors. Despite having tapes of ALL the assaults, only 51 men have been identified so far. This mirrors the situation: influential people are protected.
I understand what you mean, and I think it's noble, but simply based on facts and stats, it's better to not blindly trust people. That said, everyone here has free will at the end of the day.
Surely everyone understands that this is a different culture and a show made for a local audience...right? Foreigners like the ones below should stop behaving as if the world revolves around them.
It's so cringe and the age gap is... (yes i saw the tag but i didn't know the youngest would THIS young), i don't know if I can continue honestly 😭 Can someone spoil me please to see if i can overcome the age gap? Thanks!
