Are you ignoring the previous comment I left you? It wasn't just him as a teen. He is also accused of doing it…
I am not dismissing your concerns. But unless I misread the article, the only accusations against Ji Soo as an adult consist of Adult Ji Soo frequented clubs with his friends. Adult Ji Soo asking a girl (who was posing as an adult) at a club to go home with him despite having a girlfriend, Adult Ji Soo being considered a pimp and womanizer by someone. Adult Ji Soo engaging in consensual skinship/ sexual activity with women he just met. These behaviors may be against some people's personal morals, but they are not in any way criminal offenses. They are not even considered that socially unacceptable for the most part.
Sexual assault accusations are a serious matter and must be dealt by police/ and in court (as per laws of SK)…
I apologize for any misunderstandings that my post has caused. I am not defending this man. Part of making amends would be for Ji Soo to take legal responsibility in criminal or civil court and accepting the consequences.
However, what I am saying is that nothing will change if we just focus on punishing the individual adults for what they did as children.
For real change to occur we have to look at the culture of hierarchy that creates these situations. And for real justice to occur our outrage should be directed at the school and the permissive administration and faculty who allowed this to happen. They should be held legally accountable for failing to do their job. They are the biggest criminals in this.
The behavior that Ji Soo and his clique exhibited is very much like some incidents of hazing done for generations in the military, fraternities, athletic teams, and even marching bands as the people in power just looked the other way because "boys will be boys". These hazing rituals also involved male-on-male sexual assault as well as mental and physical abuse. Some of these hazing rituals even resulted in death. It is only recently that changes are taking place and only because the institutions and people in power were finally held accountable - not just the individuals involved.

The behavior that Ji Soo and his clique exhibited is very much like the hazing done for generations by adult males in the military, fraternities, athletic teams and even marching bands as the people in power just looked the other way because "boys will be boys". These hazing rituals regularly involved male-on-male sexual assault, sodomy, and torture, not as the exception but as the rule. Some of these hazing rituals even result in death.

The statements from the victims of Ji Soo's bullying were truly painful and legitimately cause for speaking out against the trauma committed by the Ji Soo as a child as a step toward healing.
This statement by a coworker is just a petty comment that contributes nothing to this very serious situation that will forever impact the lives of the victims of Ji Soo's bullying and the life of Ji soo.
Please know that I am not criticizing MDL for keeping us updated. I am criticizing those who are accepting this comment as anything more than gossip.
This situation should be treated as an opportunity for all people personally involved in this childhood trauma to heal.
It should also be used as an opportunity to learn and to prevent this from happening in the future by bringing attention to the environment and the adults who failed to supervise, protect and guide the child victims and the child Ji Soo during this critical period of child/human development.
This should not be reduced to a scandal and a vicious attack from netizens on the adult Ji Soo who appears to have worked hard to create a life beyond the horrific things he did as a child and teen.
The actor Ji Soo was a child when he started bullying and a teen when he became a delinquent. The adults in his life should have protected the other children from becoming victims, BUT they should have also protected the child/teen Ji Soo from becoming a bully and a delinquent.
What Ji Soo chose to do as a child /teen is repulsive and sadistic and it can never be undone. The victims should be able to speak out publically so that they can begin healing and Ji Soo should listen to them and do whatever he can for the rest of his life to make amends.
But I feel that it is unfair and somewhat sadistic to destroy an adult who has worked hard to become a productive law-abiding citizen. I cannot imagine what purpose that would serve.

Did you get to finish the drama? How was it? I really like Harumi and Maiko. It was a sweet start to their relationship.…
I finally finished the Drama. The series maintains a slice of life feel, the couple continues to be likable, and there are some sweet moments. Unfortunately, the story's focus is almost entirely on how the couple deals with the ex-wife, old friend, and cousin. I found this to be random and boring instead of interesting, so I am very disappointed with the drama overall. But you might still find it enjoyable,
"Better Days" is truly a beautiful and moving experience.
In hopes that more people will come to know this film, I encourage everyone to share it with others by rating it here, on IMDB, Metacritic, and Google, and to show your support for it through other social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
It has been shortlisted for the International Film Award for the Oscars. I hope that it receives the recognition that it deserves.
I would also add "Legend of the Blue Sea " The story of Mermaid Shim Chung (Jun Ji Hyun) chasing Heo Joon Jae (Lee Min Ho) has many hilarious and surprisingly touching moments.
I think that this couple is cute and I like their relationship.
Unfortunately, the couple's work and personal life are filled with an ex-wife, an old friend, and a cousin. An intrusive ex, friend, or relative is such a tedious and annoying trope even in small doses and entire episodes of this drama are dedicated to it leaving very little time for an actual story.
I like the main actors and the personalities of their characters, so I am hoping that this gets better...

The characters and story were so moving that tears came to my eyes as soon as I read it.
