To me this makes no sense. For one south Korea is not a very forgiven place for celebrities scandals. If you are…
"If you are going to do business hire a good CPA make sure everything is right and have your own audit team you have the money do why not do it right. With his new drama that did well this has now tarnished it what if they ask for compensation for losses."
Do you really, actually not see what you are doing here? You are furthering the idea, the fantasy really, that he did NOT "do it right!" And based on what, exactly? An unfounded, unsourced, fucking rumor reprinted by Lily Malice.
Your lazy refusal to think before you comment helps drive k-celebs to suicide. Please consider that before lecturing others about "mental wellness checks" for performers.
@Teresa Lume, @NeoB, @etoks21, @MailynThere are several different conversations happening here, and they are being…
"If people can feel the weight of what you’re saying and still see how the system enables it, maybe this time it won’t end the same way."
I wish that were true, but I'm afraid we're a long way from the time when people who need to feel the weight and change their behavior surrounding this issue, do so. The Suicide Machine has been churning away for at least 25 years now, and I've seen no meaningful changes in Korean society that will slow it down.
I want to say again how impressed I am, not only with what you write, but how you write it.
Ugh. This show is painfully bad. Gun doing his usual Gun thing. Off has matured, but not enough. Plot is hilariously lame, geared toward Thai BL, teen fangirls.
After having fast-forwarded through most of the last four episodes, I can't bear another minute, even at warp speed.
Now people are lying to themsleves in that comment section first i hate how the series is managed bcs in the novel…
1. This is one of the most self-important, yet near-incoherent posts I've read on this site, and that's saying a lot. Next time, try ChatGPT. 2. Punctuation/capitalization is a thing. ChatGPT will fix that for you too. 3. This is not the novel, this is what is called an "adaptation." Adaptations almost always differ significantly from their source material. It's true!
Interesting. The first time I watched this, during its airing, I liked it a lot and rated it 8.5/10. On second watch, I'm having to force myself to keep going. It seems slow, dreary, but not in ways I find intriguing. Lots of plot holes, too.

Some things are worth being emotional about. Driving people to suicide via character-assassination is one of those things.
Even though I'm not the one who originated the phrase, "murder by proxy" in this discussion, I stand by it as an excellent label for what has happened over and over, and will happen again, to Korean celebrities.
If a mob, convinced of an innocent person's guilt, chases that person to the edge of a cliff with the intent to burn them at the stake, and the person chooses to jump rather than wait to see what happens next, is the mob not a collection of "murderers by proxy?"
Some moral issues ARE absolute.
I am grateful there are people like you around to calmly and clearly lay out the reasoning behind the view that the Korean Celebrity Suicide Machine is an abomination. While you're doing that, I'll be cutting to the chase and expressing my outrage at the machine and its human cogs, many of whom slither around MDL, as emotionally as the issue warrants. Emotion does not necessarily negate reason.

Based on WHAT, Knetz?
Please forward your comment to MDL management!
The Machine never rests...
That's what all my sex partners tell me.
This is a system that has been warned, again and again, by the dead."
Sigh...
And I agree with every beautiful word you wrote.

I didn't say you "must" do anything, "dear."
But I do suggest that you get back on schedule with your meds.

Clearly, my tastes/perspectives have changed.
Dropping.
Will adjust my rating to 6/10
