can't find proper sources since its been a while since it happened but basically dude partook in underage prostitution. here's what i got from a quick google search.
- "9. Lee Kyung Young Crime: Underage prostitution Penalty: 10 months sentence, 2 years or probation, 160 hours of volunteer"
Lee Kyung-young was arrested on 2002 on charges of having sex with a teenager. He was being arrested on suspicion engaging in teenage prostitution with a teenage girl.
Lee Geug-young was suspected of tempting a movie actor, Lee Myung-yang (17), to “make her an actor” by having sex with her for which he then would provide 30,000 to 100,000 won in return for the service. Lee Geung-young argued that “I did not know that she was underage”
Filmmaker Jay Well Entertainment was embarrassed by the incident when the movie Forgive Me Once Again Despite Hatred which had starred Lee Geug-young would be released soon. The company said, “I tried to postpone the release, but I decided to do it as planned.”
From the morning when the incident was reported, the movie board posted “more than 100 criticisms of netizens such as” I can not forgive him until I die “. Another viewer said, “Even though he did not know she was a teenager, it was still shocking that he still threw bait to someone who wanted to be an actress.”
The media accused him of “forgetting moral responsibility that society gives for being an entertainer and having such wealth.”"
Seriously, the female lead could take her expressions down a notch. It’s not exactly misplaced, just a bit superfluous.…
both the leads are kinda overboard with their expressions at times and subdued and nuanced when it needs to be. i actually don't mind the exaggerated expressions all that much.
CANNOT AGREE MORE ABOUT ALL BOYS HIGH! it was hilarious! i didn't know much about the group other than their title tracks (which were great! and the mvs as hilarious as the boys) but this webseries made me fall down the n.flying hole and i found the light. the members are seriously funny and their music is so refreshing.
