while I agree that its sad he is no longer around, in the end it was his choice to end his life, that is truth
honestly its incredible how quickly “the law” becomes a comfort blanket when empathy gets inconvenient for yall.
yes, prostitution is illegal in SK, but that still doesnt magically justify months of media feeding frenzy, invasive policing, public humiliation, and treating a human being like a spectacle until he broke.
reducing his death to a legal technicality, “well, something illegal happened” isnt consistency, its moral laziness. its hiding behind statutes to avoid grappling with proportionality, cruelty, and basic human rights.
if your only takeaway from this is still “but technically he wasnt innocent,” then youre not discussing justice, but youre rehearsing exactly the mindset that makes this cycle possible in the first place.
I still cannot watch any of the dramas or films Lee Sun Kyun made: his death hit me harder than I thought. So…
ah, of course. suicide is just a “personal choice,” systemic pressure is imaginary, and women organizing in response to real social conditions are “overblown.”
you do seem remarkably consistent. fascinating worldview, honestly. every collective response is “overblown,” and any discussion of systems is apparently just emotional excess.
impressively weird how you have no empathy required, no self reflection necessary, no discomfort ever allowed.
you dont come across as tough minded or rational here. just oddly detached from how humans actually function.

wowwwww. saying that about someone who died after being publicly dragged, investigated, humiliated, and stripped of dignity is… certainly a choice.
yes, suicide involves an individual act but pretending it happens in a vacuum, completely untouched by relentless pressure, public shaming, and institutional cruelty, is an astonishingly cold way to look at a fellow human being.
if THATS the level of empathy we re working with, then its no wonder nothing ever changes and we are doomed lmao.
He says that something should have been done since Lee Sun Kyun's suicide, but why doesn't he specifically say…
this feels like expecting one actor to single handedly dismantle an entire media, political cultural system during an interview about his work.
he acknowledged LSK, admitted shame that nothing has changed, and spoke about social responsibility, which is already more than most public figures dare to do in a society that absolutely devours celebrities for stepping one toe out of line.
demanding that he publicly name politicians, journalists, and industry figures “BY NAME” is not bravery, its asking him to volunteer as the next sacrifice.
and yes, “not disappointing the public” may be part of the problem systemically, but on an individual level, it simply means he wants to act with integrity and do his job well, be a good person. turning that into a philosophical gotcha feels wildly out of proportion and insane.
maybe instead of scolding the few actors who even acknowledge the issue, we should ask why the system makes any honest statement this risky in the first place.
First episode was really good, an actually funny episode. Can anyone tell me if the Lawyer Guy is good or bad?
not a classic villain lol. rival rather, 2ML who causes tension, but not someone purely "bad". his actions are rather tied to past relationships and internal conflicts, not out‑and‑out evil intent.
So what's FL story?What about the dream in the beginning? Something like, she dated someone, that guy was married,…
dont think she dated him. i think he bothered her on his own as it showed him blowing up her phone in the flashback of ep 2, and the wife couldve read messages and thought that it was an affair when it wasnt. probably just a case of her trying to be nice to the parent and him getting the wrong idea and acting on it.
wanted to try this out but how are you guys getting past at how plastic the ML's face looks?? I can't seem to…
um he didnt have any, hes just mixed aka half japanese and half venezuelan. he has been an idol since 15 and a trainee since 11. u can literally see his features evolve and him lose baby fat in his face. not to mention that hes a model as well, thats all it is.
