USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.
Replying to Cyril-H Feb 1, 2026
What is happening to Cha Eun Woo right now is not “accountability.”It is a public trial without a verdict,…
Bravo.
And thank you!!! for saying so clearly and distinctly what I haven't the patience to say in such a coherent manner, myself.

Korean entertainers dead by suicide, one of my custom lists:
https://kisskh.at/list/1drDvBV3

It was the suicide of Kim Jonghyun, of kpop group SHINee eight years ago that opened my eyes to the horrific history of the Korean Celebrity Suicide Machine. As I looked into it, at first I could not believe what I was reading. Now I believe it all too well.

I'm well aware you quoted the previous commenter - to DEFEND the quote as a qualification that excuses the insinuations in her post. That's why I included it again in replying to you.

No, I did not "misunderstand" your "proxy" defense. Whether or not you and your imaginary friend become "proxies" depends on the content of your comments. And you jumped in to defend your right to be outraged if a celeb gets away with not paying taxes, when no one said you can't be outraged all you want in such a case. The problem is that your right-to-be-outraged schtick once again insinuates that CEW is one of the rich, famous people you have a right to be outraged at. You're not posting that comment in some random Reddit thread about general tax evasion. You're posting it under an article about CEW and his ongoing crucifixion. If you deny that is an important distinction, it's further evidence that you have a standard knetz mindset.

And if you have the mindset, you're a knetz, whether you claim the label or not. Your "I have a right to be outraged" pose is a central theme among knetz who feed on celebrities at the slightest provocation.

"Do you realise that what you are saying is that we should never find people guilty of crimes in case they kill themselves."
This is too stupid to waste time responding to, so I won't.

I didn't side-step anything. I didn't focus on the "crime" aspect because I'm not obsessed with labeling celebrities as criminals. People who evade taxes, deliberately or inadvertently, have not committed violent assault or murder. It's not crucial to me that I lump them in with others who have.
Generally, in such cases, if they owe back taxes they pay them, often on a payment plan over time, plus a penalty, and that's the end of it. It happens all the time to working-class people, too.

Celebs in that position don't need to be hammered into oblivion because they happen to be famous. One of the few things I'm proud of as an American is that character assassination linked to non-violent crimes is not a national pastime here. If you f**k up otherwise, you get second, third, and tenth chances, and people cheer if you get it together and succeed down the road.

That is impossible to imagine in Korea, where self-righteous celeb-killing is considered an honorable side gig.

I'm in the US. Netflix here includes "lgbtq+" in its key words, so that's pretty darn clear, too. You were right. So, does Netflix where you are not list "lgbtq+"?

Some commenters below indicated that was not among the tags they saw on NF in their countries.

Netflix US lists "LGBTQ+" in its description of this show.
IMDB lists keywords gay, romance, lgbtq+, and love

I submitted to add "gay romance" and "lgbtq" to this MDL page with both links, so we'll see if it takes...

To add to the bromance vs romance discourse, I think there will be romance between the two main characters, but…
How does a sad ending make the story of a romance into NOT a romance?
And why are you expecting that?

No, I DON'T know all the details, but unlike you, whatever they are, I will never help harass and humiliate a celebrity, nor help destroy their career because of fucking back taxes or anything else. If he owes, he pays, and it's done. Koreans, and you, are psycho about this stuff.

You just implied that you do NOT know the details of this case, and then implied that he evaded paying taxes. Which is it? Do you know or don't you know?

It's not an "illegal act" that drives celebrities to suicide, it is the peripheral, aforementioned harassment, humiliation, media stalking and abuse, law enforcement obsession with prosecuting celebs for PR and career advancement, loss of endorsements, loss of gigs, and the destruction of careers (and all this before FACTS are established-all we have here is what the government has ALLEGED), that leads them to despair, which leads them to fire up the charcoal.

And YES, if you take part in any of that, as you are doing here, and the result is a dead celeb, you are definitely a "murderer by proxy." You are a cog in the Korean Celebrity Suicide Machine. And you are psycho.

"If proven guilty, of course...," my ass.
Knetz don't care about proof or guilt or proportion; they care about the hunt. Lee Sun Kyun, one of Korea's best actors, dead barely two years, was never charged with anything, and look at the media and knetz hysteria that drove him to take his life. His life, everything he had built, would never be reclaimed. He knew the routine well, so he checked out to save his wife and sons "face," as you knetz put it. Only by dying could he guarantee his wife and kids would be left in peace. It was a public blood sacrifice, and he never had a chance. There are a hundred other cases like his.

As for the rest of your reply, go lecture someone else on commenting etiquette.

They sure aren't "close friends" anymore.
I think Ohm had his fill of Nanon after BB, and is keeping his distance, wisely so. Going forward, being closely associated with the charisma-free Nanon would be a career killer.

This.
Nanon is a terrible actor, in general.
He was funny and well-cast in "My Dear Loser," but once they tried to make him a romantic lead, forget it.
Ugh.
