This. The "family is always best" thing we get so much of is SO not true.
A great deal of the worst trauma people ever experience involves family members. This is nothing new either.

Two things about Hori Natsuki:

I can't be sure from his bio pic, but they appear to have plucked the hell out of his eyebrows for this role, perhaps to emphasize the wonderful things he does with his eyes and face as Mashiro. However, the brows are so clearly plucked that I find it distracting. I keep thinking, "why would Mashiro pluck his eyebrows? He doesn't seem like the type." Thoughts?

Also, I'm looking forward to hunting down any videos of him with his Jpop dance troupe on YT. Any one have links?

I find Hori Natsuki especially endearing. He's cute but has that tiny overbite. He has a tall, rockin' bod, but often seems like a tall, rockin' little kid. :)

The actors are great casting.

If you're talking about Sungri, who most people who don't know what they're talking about, consider the "main perp," he did 18 months in jail, paid huge fines lost all his endorsements, was fired by his agency, exiled from Big Bang, and is a pariah in South Korea. I'd say he was punished sufficiently according to law.

Sungri was never charged, tried, or convicted for any form of sexual assault/rape, despite the Knetz liars endlessly claiming otherwise. Nor did he share any of the sexual assault videos on the chat group. Most Burning Sun hysterics are allergic to facts, because facts make the story so much more boring than it is.

The actual "main perp," whose name I don't recall, did or is doing four or five years in jail plus all I listed above related to Seungri. What do you want, execution?

I often wonder, if prostitution is illegal, why aren't the prostitutes charged and tried?

Good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for letting me know. :)

What drugs are you abusing?

The ones that are well-written, and there are many who aren't, make for awesome drama and angst.

Episode 6:

Holy s**t. This is seriously too f**king excellent to believe.

I watch with a maniacal Joker grin stretched across my face, but my squinted eyes are misty with feels at the same time. These guys make me laugh like a donkey and squeal like an emotional bitch all at the same time. I love them.

I suspect Kanade's senior is a LOT more interested in Boys Love than he's letting on right now.

Me too! I am a huge fan of Yoo. I've been worried for his life ever since the police, media, and courts began torturing him nearly two years ago. He seems to be doing well but it is not possible to know what is going on inside someone else's heart and soul, especially from half a world away.

I did not make it all the way through "Hi Five;" it's just not my kind of flick. But I watched about half of it and smiled like an idiot the whole time at the sight of Yoo doing what he does so well. There is NO part he can not play. He is a phenomenal actor.

I pray for him too.

Thank you. :(
I found an MDL page for all but Jung Chae Yull. If you know they are here under a slightly different name or something please let me know.

I know far more than I wish I did about Jonghyun's passing. He was already near the top of my list but I guess you missed him. I discovered him by accident about five years ago when I was first becoming interested in Korean music and movies. That voice. I watched SHINee videos like crazy for a couple weeks, going crazy over their music and performances, but especially focused on the handsome one with the killer voice and stage presence, Jonghyun. After two weeks, I was reading through some comments and quickly realized he had been dead already two years. I wept like a child, such was the hold he had taken on me.

Jonghyun's heartbreaking story is what opened me up to the horror of Korea's suicide problem, especially among its celebrities. I had no idea until then. I became a big Korean cinema fan at the same time, and little by little I came to understand how massive this Korean suicide nightmare is, and how little is done to this day to openly address it.

Korea is awash in talent, beauty, shame, guilt, self-righteous judgmentalism, and booze, a bad combo all-round. We have all those things and worse in the US but for some reason don't kill ourselves at near the rate Koreans do.

Thank you for the names.

Only a suicide-enabler would look at a list of 31 young, beautiful, Korean entertainers who have killed themselves and think, "I need to tell whoever compiled this list to STFU." Those who live in denial regarding SK's massive suicide problem, such as yourself, are a big part of the problem. Telling sensible people to shut up about it feeds the cycle and makes things worse.

Moonbin killed himself. Anyone who isn't delusional knows it. His family is full of it. I'm guessing their delusions are made easier to bear by the loads of cash Fantagio no doubt slipped to them under the door.

I don't tolerate being told what to say or post, so I'll thank you to buzz off. Being called "rude" by someone like you is a compliment. I think I'll move Moonbin up near the top of my list. It's what he would want as a cautionary warning to his former fans, don't you think? oops! Was that rude?

On edit: Check it out! Moonbin is #3 now. Thanks for the inspiration.

Indeed, it is.

And here comes the first "STFU" shieked from deep in the hole in which you're hiding your head. He killed himself. Deal with it.

This could be written to most adults in Korea.
Highest rate of alcoholism and abuse in the developed world.
Also the highest rate of suicide. By far.

This.

I'd leave a reply calling you the vile names you deserve, but since that would feed your sickness, I won't.

YES. Absolutely and completely true. It is madness.

Well said, but those who need to hear it most will ignore your words.
Knetz are sadists. They LOVE the pain they inflict.

I haven't read through comments below yet, but to those who trashed this fine actor leading up to his death or are gloating afterward, you are scum.

Oh, and get a clue, MDL! Song Young Kyu did NOT "pass away," he died by suicide after the usual ritualistic Korean soul-murder campaign led by the Knetz. Please stop glossing over suicides here. You're not helping.

Chalk up another win for the Korean Celebrity Torture/Suicide Machine!
Way to go, SK! You should be proud!
Also, be proud of having learned NOTHING over 25 years of this appallingly high suicide rate, not only among celebs, but among the Korean public too. Highest in the developed world!

Production companies and sponsors are complicit in this too, massively so. They grant power to a teeny minority of loudmouth Knetz far, far out of proportion to their numbers. Of course, the media is garbage too...blood suckers and murderers.

When an actor gets a DUI, and no one was killed or injured or murdered or raped, why is the judicial system's dealing with it not enough for these vampires? By what exceedingly Puritanical and immature logic is it necessary to cut them out of dramas/movies/kpop groups, pretending they don't exist, as if the mere sight of them onscreen will destroy the nation's moral fiber? It is stupid af.

And to all Knetz everywhere, I wish I could face you and smack the living s**t out of you, one by one. You are vile, unworthy of being wiped from my shoe after I've walked through a pig sty. Seriously, convulse and die already.

It has been 20 months since Lee Sun Kyun died alone in a parked car, just as did this poor man. And yet here we are again. In between, several lesser lights of the Korean entertainment industry took their own lives. It never stops. It is insane.

With sadness, I will add Song Young Kyu's name to my ever-growing list of Korean entertainers dead by suicide. I know it is lacking names that should be there. If you view it and know of someone, please let me know and I will add them to the grim tally.
