Yeah, I'll get right on that, as soon as you start working on reining in your participation in the Korean celebrity "scandal" and suicide cult.

You forgot this part of my last reply: "So what? 20 years!"

Accuse me of whatever you want. At least it's clear I'm not rehashing lame BS from 20 years ago in an effort to...what? What is it you're trying to accomplish with all these replies?

Your behavior here is a classic of the Korean suicide culture: Using an accusation from an anonymous source as an excuse to dig up and disseminate all sorts of ancient history.

You don't get it: I am not interested in hunting around the Internet in an effort to find out everything I can about this woman, like you're doing. I don't do this regarding ANY celebrity. I pretty much stick to news about their profession and upcoming work. The reason I don't do this is that I DO NOT CARE. High school bullying or whatever, it was 20 years ago, she's 20 years older, hasn't killed anyone that I know of, and isn't likely to. Why are you spending your time investigating this so-called "scandal?" What's in that for you?

You keep claiming you're not someone who cares about actors as PEOPLE, but as performers regarding the quality and various aspects of their performances, right? And yet you're doing a deep dive into all this high school bullying silliness based on an unsubstantiated accusation from an anonymous source. WHY?

I think you are VERY interested in her private life, based on your statements and actions related to this thread. What you are doing perpetuates the cycle of psycho-Korean celeb/fan culture, whether you do it from Korea or the U.S. Good for you.

Why the hell did Kang let that female sniper, "2 seconds," walk away when he could have killed her. I don't buy that he was so shocked it was the girl by the creek that he froze. As a result of his choice, at least one main and one supporting character were killed. Also, he knew exactly who she was and how many SOK soldiers she had killed, and would kill in the future if he let her go. And then he let her go.

I have seen this movie twice and this still feels like a false note to me.

A great war movie that is thoroughly anti-war.
Gets a tad too preachy a few times, and that brought down my rating.
Acting performances are exceptional across the board.
There are several hard-to-swallow coincidences and character overlaps I don't buy.
Battle scenes are tremendous, and I appreciate the unflinching inclusion of plenty of body gore, as war is a meat grinder and not to be sugar-coated.
Lee Je Hoon turns in his usual outstanding performance and looks fine af with no clothes on.

8/10

I have a question regarding a pivotal plot point, which I will place behind a spoiler tag below. If anyone cares to check out the question and respond, I'd appreciate it.

It's easy to insult people like you who provide so much ammunition. Your attempt to draw an analogy here is beyond stupid.

Is my rudeness taking you to the breaking point?

Wow. You are blind as a bat.

"Don't hurt others" is an appropriate summation of everything I wrote above.

Oh dear, aren't you a snowflake.

I'm glad you're disturbed by my words regarding celebrity suicide in Korea. You SHOULD be disturbed. I WANT you to be disturbed. Celebrity suicides in Korea are disturbing!

It says a lot about you that in a comment thread about SUICIDE, people actually being hounded to their deaths, your biggest concern is that no one be disturbed by a commenter's tone.

Lord.

Pretty sure I already told you I don't care what you think of my manners.

I love theatre, movies, drama, music, sports and many other things. Thus, I become aware of which actors, singers, football players, whatever, appeal to me the most. I do not join fan clubs or stalk them online, but I do casually follow their careers.

I'm a fan of Korean movies, BLs, and a bit of music. As I've learned more and more about the Korean entertainment industry, I've become appalled at how entertainers are treated by the Korean press and public, and horrified by how many of them have died by suicide.

I do not apologize for being passionate about this gigantic problem in Korea. My passion is why I'm in this comment thread. I have zero concern about being respectful and polite to members who are feeding the Korean suicide machine and helping drive actors and other artists to their eaths. Such people deserve no respect.

Maybe start a manners and etiquette vlog, and give your advice there. I don't need it. I'm very polite and respectful to those who earn it by their words.

You know what you can do with your lecturing BS on comment section etiquette. I don't care what you think of my manners.

People who hold vile opinions deserve what they get in comment sections.

BTW, YOU are now part of the problem. "Remain neutral?" If you had any sense of compassion and decency you would assume the best of people rather than the worst.

"we don't know..." is part of how Korean suicide culture works. Once an accusation is made, it's 'out there" and people like you assume there is something to be "neutral" about. How about assuming crap like this is false until it's proven to be fact? Did that even occur to you?

An anonymous person is accusing her of bullying HIM 20 years ago in high school. He claims she "slapped me for an hour and a half." lol He won't reveal who he is, and he has refused to meet with her agency reps to provide details, as they asked. They have already confirmed she and he never knew each other.

So, basically, it's yet another absurdly hyped and impossible-to-verify Korean celeb "scandal" witch hunt, which will end with the actor's career in tatters and possibly, death by suicide. But apparently, Koreans have learned nothing from the dozens of Korean celeb suicides over the last 25 years, and this is really sad but likely true, they just don't care. The pseudo-scandals are just too juicy for them to live without, and what do a few more suicides matter anyway, seeing as how Korea has the highest rate by far, of any other developed country in the world; TWICE the rate of suicides in the U.S.

I love Korean movies and some dramas, but Korea's celeb/fan culture is way fucked up. The society is Puritanical in some ways, but K-Pop idols churn out hyper-sexualized performances. Korea has the toughest marijuana laws in the world, but getting shit-faced on booze with coworkers every other night is considered just part of doing business.

I'm worried about Yoo Ah In, who the Korean suicide machine has been grinding away at since early last year. He's a great actor and I fear he may check out like Lee Sun Kyun. Now it's gearing up to decimate the young lady at the center of this trash article.

BTW, if your FB feed is full of chatter about this non-story, I suggest you clean out your "friends" list and block some bloodthirsty morons.

Oh yes I have, sister. lol I love that you think stomping your foot and saying "you have NOT refuted my arguments in any way! Because I say so!" means that is automatically the case, which it's not.

Where are your details as to the ALLEGED incident that led to her transfer? What do we know about that? Maybe SHE was the one bullied. Who fucking cares? 20 years!

Oh you poor thing; attacked with ad hominems while attacking an actress over 20-year-old high school bullying accusations, made by an anonymous (of course) person, which are impossible to prove one way or the other. And if they're true, so what? 20 years!

You know, here in the U.S. (I now suspect you currently live in Korea and have soaked up the toxic af celeb/fan culture), there used to be rock band called "Dead Celebrities." I'm sure you can find them on the Intertrons. As a pro-celeb suicide activist, there's no doubt you'd love their music.

Here's one of their songs about suicide, just for you:

I recall the confession, if that's what it was, and also their referring to each other to the sister as "lovers," but it's been, like a day, right? And they're going "let's break up..." as if it's been a year.

Serious question: Are you Korean?

I ask because Korea is where the psychotic, toxic af celeb/fan culture has driven dozens of entertainers to take their own lives. To you, this is normal. IT IS NOT NORMAL.

You are suggesting that turning 20-year-old bullying accusations (btw, why did this guy stand still and let a girl slap him for 90 minutes?) into a celebrity witch-hunt now will prevent bullying. You are of limited intellectual capacity.

When this actress kills herself, like LSK just did three months ago, will you have any feelings about that? What will they be? Other than self-righteous satisfaction, I mean.

Not "people," YOU.

Suicide enabler, first class. That's you.

"Korean is trash and hate Koreans..." NO and NO. But of course, I never said either of those things. You're the desperate liar I diagnosed you as.

Kiss my a*s, psycho.

Just your average, 10/10 short film from Strongberry.

I advise you to be aware that I do not care who you think you are and what you think you do. I was wrong: You are not a moron, but a disgusting and, judging from the sound of this bizarre rant, mentally unbalanced person.

I don't care how many companies you pretend to own, who you imagine yourself to know or if you are the current president of SM Entertainment (in which case it's odd you'd have time to be commenting at such length here on MDL but whatever...), you can take the above, psychotic rant, print it out and thrust it where the sun does not shine.

You are a suicide enabler, nothing less. That's why my last reply to you above touched such a raw nerve. That happens to all of us when people say negative things that are nonetheless true. At least it indicates somewhere under your sickness lies a conscience. Please seek therapy and listen to the voice in which it speaks to you on occasion.

Now...sue me. Put your entire legal team on the case. I look forward to hearing from you.

I don't read trash, especially in Korean, which I don't read or speak. So why don't you print out that trash article you linked me to, wad it up and shove it where it might do some good?

"Simping," my ass. I knew nothing of this actress until today.

I wonder what sickness it is in you and other Koreans, not ALL Koreans of course, but many of them, as it takes a lot of readers and watchers to gobble up all the celebrity "scandal" BS and keep the media humming along, that makes you so obsessed with celebrity lives and so desperate to tear them down to the point of suicide, with no apparent feeling of guilt when it happens, as it has already happened dozens and dozens of times over the last 25 years.

You are a sad, weak person, Korean or not, unhappy with yourself, and one way of making yourself feel powerful and better is to degrade and tear down accomplished people in the public eye. You don't give a shit about anyone who was or was not bullied 20 years ago. You just want to see a better person than you go down in flames.

I would pity you if you and millions of others weren't so dangerous. Do you get a sense of satisfaction when another celeb kills themselves? Does it please you? Make you feel justified? Better-than? How long does the feeling last until you need to feel it again?
