This week has been a SQUALL of headlines: rumors of Kim Soo-hyun facing an overseas lawsuit, Kim Sae-ron’s final film premiering, and Disney+ hosting its Open House event. Today, Disney+'s CEO officially confirmed that the release of Knock Off has been postponed following an internal review.
What stands out isn’t just the news itself, but the timing. Every time there's major buzz around Kim Soo-hyun or Kim Sae-ron, an “exclusive” story suddenly drops, and that shifts public attention. I see a pattern, like someone is working hard to bury one headline by inflating the other. And weirdly, the same reporters are always involved.
Having followed some other celebrity controversies before, I’ve noticed that this tactic usually comes from the side most afraid of losing public support. It’s a diversion, and mostly effective.
For those who weren’t following Kim Sae-ron’s situation before she passed, reporter Kang Kyung-yoon had published an exclusive that heavily swayed public opinion against her. That’s why her family mentioned the name when this case first started.
Started watching after reading your review... This is one of the most beautiful and honest reflections I’ve read. It's like you didn’t just watch the show, but felt it. The way you described the pain of each major character hit me hard. Thank you for putting into words what so many of us carry silently. Can’t wait to read the full review. 🥹
