There he is. Bowing.

Does anybody have a link where someone is translating a play-by-play in English? (Can someone do that here?)

That's not his punishment, per se. His punishment—if any—will occur at the end of the trial.

This is just an interim order while the court proceeds with the family's defamation lawsuit against him. The court also added an additional defamation charge to the criminal complaint, which would increase his penalty if found guilty.

Yes, his left arm was cut off (so to speak.) Also here:

Like the time that agency informed the world their client never dated that underage actress and we all believed them until a naked photo of their client in her apartment surfaced. That was embarrassing! And to think we may never know who it was that forced him into that situation in the first place!

Kim Soo Hyun Triggers Fury With Past Behavior Towards Kim Yoo Jung When She Was A Minor

Disney Corporate sees the TMZ report, calls Disney+ Korea, who in turn calls Gold Medalist:

"Do something! Put an end to this. NOW!"

I am reminded of the adage, "The only way to hurt someone who has lost everything is to give her back something broken." 😭

Brilliant! This captures their cognitive dissonance perfectly & humorously.

Kim Soo Hyun’s Comments On 15-Year-Old Nam Ji Hyun Resurface Amid Controversy

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kim-soo-hyun-comments-15-year-old-nam-ji-hyun-resurface/

What troubling times are these for anyone in a position of celebrity &/or power who are attracted to the young, vulnerable, and easily-manipulated. Even their supporters cannot make excuses sufficient to sway the mob!

Surmised culpability reinforced by evasive behaviors & serial lies

Very well put, thank you! 👏🏼

Fast-talking career gal is a trope. But thank you for clarifying because I do agree with you to some extent. I have previously commented that the 'drawn-out misunderstandings' trope is entirely tired and worn-out. No doubt there are others.

Dahlia Hawtorne has a retinue of butterflies. Now I expect KSH will be surrounded by (tiny-drone) fireflies!

It has a good take on a "fast-talking career gal" full of spunk & passion, IMO. The humor has really grown on me.

Kim Mi Gyeong will eventually demonstrate to all how she truly is indispensable. I previously speculated that her personal potato plant will somehow become important. (Could it be the one which survived the May snow freeze? Is it one of the Maroo? Maybe both?)

Maybe all the other plants will be destroyed, and the company will need to pay her a huge sum to purchase or license it? Or for some other reason. Mi Gyeong is a "diamond in the rough" so its fitting that her ascendance be paralleled with that of the starchy variety.

Underrated show, literally! There is so much to enjoy.

Agreed. Some dramas have begun to defy this trend. I think writers are really smart & courageous when they can avoid this trope, resolve misunderstandings quickly and add more plot instead of dragging out angst & dread!
