'Dr. Romantic' season 3 finale

Article: 'Final episode' Dr. Romantic, happy ending... expectations for season 4 is up at the familiar back scene

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+444] Seeing Seo Hyun Jin-nim's backside silhouette makes me think the scriptwriter has been planning another season in the works... We really need to keep it going, especially with Seo Hyun Jin

[+186] It's true that the viewer ratings are lower than they used to be but if we're able to get the Doldamgers of seasons 1-3 combined, then the viewer ratings have a chance of going back up. I'm sure the director had plans of a fourth season by their decision to include Yoon Seo Jung as a special appearance. 

[+109] Why I think we need a fourth season: Kim Sa Boo says that he has a new dream, and when Soo ssaem asks what it is, he says it wouldn't be fun to spoiler it. Since we don't know what that dream is, I'm thinking it's going to be a successful 'rough stone' system that can keep going without Kim Sa Boo. Currently, Kim Sa Boo is still around, and the team is still unable without his lead. In order to change that, Yoon Seo Jung is brought in as head of Doldam hospital along with Kang Dong Joo in the trauma center to create a new system that can exist without Kim Sa Boo. That will be the achievement of his dream. In order to achieve that, we're going to need a fourth season. 

[+80] Hmm... the viewer ratings weren't as high as I thought so I don't know if the series can keep going

[+71] I like Eunjae and Woojin but prefer the name Euntak more

[+19] I was hoping it would never end because it's so fun ㅜ so upset that it's over now...

[+12] To all of the people complaining about the viewer ratings, I'd like to ask you to go look at the Nielsen's weekly ratings. It's very rare for a drama to hit 10% these days. So many households don't have TVs at all, and many start watching new series on Netflix and other platforms. I bet you that the majority of the people you ask "where do you watch your dramas?" are going to name an OTT platform. 

[+13] We definitely need a fourth season

[+6] If season 4 is going to be about Yoon Seo Jung, Kang Dong Joo, Cha Eun Jae, and Seo Woo Jin getting together as four, it'd be interesting to watch, but I'll be honest... season 3 was so boring and confusing, though I will admit that I didn't catch all the episodes as they came out. Season 4 might be better if the OG members all get back together.

New AI 'photo studio filter' is all the rage

Article: "Looks like quality out of a photo studio"... new AI filter that creates 'Jang Won Young profile' in 20 minutes

Source: Han via Naver

[+1,193, -13] Can we just get rid of profile pictures in job applications? These pictures are all filtered to fraud levels anyway, no? Just wait until the interview to see what someone looks like?

[+559, -15] I think what's sadder is that some people really think that this is what they look like. We're going to see more people preferring to live life through the camera lens instead of their mirror.

[+152, -6] Some of the pictures do look similar but there's always something off about them!!

[+113, -10] Most of these filters end up looking like a completely different person with maybe 0.00002% of the essence of the original person... ㅎㅎ but it is fun to try~

[+38, -0] I'm an ajumma in my forties. I paid 6,600 won out of curiosity and ended up not being able to use any of them because they came out so weird ㅋㅋ it made me look like I was in my early twenties;;

[+24, -2] What's funny is that everyone I know has this as their new profile picture but they all look completely different from the filter ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

[+23, -1] I see so many women using this filter as their profile right now and it's actually scary because they all look alike;;

[+19, -0] You're better off just going to a photo studio and letting them photoshop you. This filter turns you into a complete stranger.

[+8, -1] I saw my friend use it and the end results... don't have her face at all. Even my friend admitted it looked like way too much photoshop... I don't think anyone would recognize you if you actually used this in your applications...

[+311, -12] So amazing of both BTS and their fans for not only completing a gathering of 500,000 people safely and without accidents, but also for enjoying the event and leaving the place without a trace of trash

[+218, -12] I kept hearing lights and fireworks at home so I was wondering what all of it was, and it looks like it was this! ㅎㅎ Namsan was also covered in ourple lights, which I thought was very cool. I'm not an Army who knows every member's name but this whole event was very cool! I support all of you!

[+13, -1] Honestly, seeing fans so well behaved makes me view BTS in the same positive light

Im Siwan possibly cast in 'Squid Game 2'

Article: Im Siwan cast in 'Squid Game 2' as a lead alongside Lee Jung Jae and Lee Byung Hun

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+51] When I first heard the casting news... I thought, "Ah! Siwan got it!"... He's become an actor whose name you look forward to because his works are so acknowledged! He takes great care with his acting so fighting!! 👏👏

[+29] I found him to be spectacular in the movie 'The Attorney' and the drama 'Hell Is Other People,' now it seems he's about to hit peak with 'Squid Game 2'

[+26] Daebak... for some reason, I feel like he's going to be goose bump-inducingly good ㅠㅠㅠ this is going to be so good ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

[+14] I've always held a bias towards idol actors but I always knew he was going to make it big when I saw him on 'Misaeng'... He's always shown improvement in his talent with every new work he's taken on since.

[+15] I feel like he needs to ease up on the actor disease, though. He's become so completely different compared to his ZE:A days, like he's purposely putting on a serious guy act to prove himself as an actor;;

[+3] He's a great actor so... I'm looking forward to it 🙂

[+3] Im Siwan is a must watch

[+2] I can't wait ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[+-] Will he be playing another psycho role?

Choiza to marry non-celebrity girlfriend of 3 years next month

Article: 'Dynamic Duo' Choiza is getting married July 9th to girlfriend of 3 years

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+867] I wouldn't blame the whole thing on Choiza but it can't be helped considering that it was a situation of a famous female idol dating a rapper who was known for his nickname of "big d*ck"... I can't forget the amount of s*xual harassment comments she got over it before she eventually took her own life. If he ever cared about her at all, he needed to have kept the relationship quiet like he chose to do with the woman he's marrying now, but instead he was so open and explicit about it that the end is all as we know it... He's probably tortured over it all but it can't be helped that he's getting hate over it now. 

[+717] I've never cared for his dating history, but I've always felt it was so inconsiderate and immature of him to put out a song like 'Eat Pray Love' while in a relationship with a famous figure... and now he's getting married

[+597] Just get married quietly, this isn't any special wedding that needs to be in the news for

[+438] You guys are the ones that wrote the hate comments that killed her but look at you all framing it as if it's Choiza's fault now

[+340] Choiza was the saddest of them all. Haters are so cruel. 

[+201] I suppose it's thick, shameless skin like this that keeps you alive in the industry...

[+194] We must help the living continue living... hate commenters need to stop committing murders with their fingers

[+176] This is how it always goes down for women who date men with nasty rumors about them. It's always the women who lose in the end. While the man gets praised for "pulling an idol," the woman goes from being perceived as an innocent idol to a dirty woman. She loses her life while he goes on to marry someone new... eat, pray, love, right?... I wish he never dated an idol in the first place, just stuck with non-celebrities like the one he's marrying now...

[+175] What do people expect him to do, though? Live single for the rest of his life? Never get married?

[+148] So shameless....

[+140] Before you all sit here wishing him happiness, please go read the lyrics of 'Eat Pray Love' before commenting..

[+123] Choiza hyung, we wish you happiness 👏👏

[+103] He will live in the memory of 'Eat Pray Love' for the rest of his life ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+82] The people hating on Choiza now are the same people who were hating on Sulli before~~

[+65] Poor Sulli ㅠㅠ

[+28] He's 💩

[+18] Sulli did not die because of Choiza. She died because of haters and the media.

Song Joong Ki gets some flak for saying married men get less roles in the industry

Article: Becoming a father will mean less jobs in the entertainment industry? Song Joong Ki's statement is under controversy

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

When asked by a reporter in China about how he plans to juggle life as both a father and actor, he said, "In the entertainment industry, becoming a father/husband also means that you will get less job opportunities. Having a baby and getting married means less and less work for me. But I'm not afraid. I won't pay mind to it. My family will always be more important than work."

-

[+128] I think it's because his image has always been that of a heartthrob so getting married and becoming a father will probably limit his roles, is what he meant to say

[+107] The audacity of a male actor to say this, not even a female actress ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+63] He could've just said he was going to focus on his family and left it at that. People who blab on too much always end up in hot waters like this.

[+58] I feel like he's not even all that compared to his peers but he's always acting like some hot shot 😮 he seems four-dimensional to me

[+40] So many haters... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's obvious that he meant this to say that he's always taken on heartthrob, romance lead roles, and becoming a married man and a father on top of that will limit him from those roles from now on, no? He's not allowed to say that? But people are quick to pick on the fact that he's a "man" saying this, and how dare he ㅋㅋㅋ but what he said applies to women as well. You think a married woman with kids is going to get romance lead roles still?; Enough with the gender wars and look at it from their job perspective, though I'm sure Song Joong Ki will make enough money taking on father or ajusshi roles from now on ㅋㅋㅋ

[+30] No one can understand the risks of his career better than himself. No point in us arguing about it...

[+27] Well, there are a lot of actors who only entered the spotlight many, many years after they got married, so...

[+23] He's getting weirder and weirder

[+21] I get that he's super in love right now and has lost his mind to it, but he needs to wake up before he really starts losing job opportunities

[+8] I'd understand a female actress saying this.... but a male actor? Eh

[+8] He's right, though... not like any of you would know since you're not even actors

-

Source: Issue King TV via YouTube

[+218] I don't get what all this hate is for when he's not even impacting anyone with his words... jeez

[+181] He did exaggerate his words a bit but I don't think it's anything controversial

[+108] A bit exaggerated but I can see why he'd feel concern over it

[+88] An actor's job is never stable since they go from contract to contract, so I can see why he'd feel concerned after getting married. It's true that the diversity of his roles is now more limited, which is probably sad for someone who might've wanted to try more roles throughout his career.

[+22] Well, his fame was built off of his heartthrob image so he wouldn't be wrong

[+45] I can see his concern since he has only ever been in melodramas but I think this is a great opportunity for his career to pivot into more diverse roles like Choi Min Shik.

[+95] Don't know why people would take such issue with him wanting to foucs on his family more..

[+19] He's not wrong, though.. to be a famous person in Korea requires way too much caring about what others think

[+185] And thank you to the Chinese Armies who continue to support them despite it all

[+156] Feels refreshing for him to address it :)💜

[+151] Just praying for the day that Xi Jin Ping gets kinder 😢

[+138] Find strength, Chinese Army-nims

[+157] Just Suga being Suga ^^ And the Armies who endure this all despite the pressure placed on them are true Armies

[+146] BTS and Armies don't deserve this... all because of the Hallyu ban ㅠㅠ find strength, Chinese Armies~

[+54] Chinese Armies are true fans... it's so upsetting that their government keeps blocking them and distorting the truth~

[+119] Yoongi said that he would like to perform in China, it's just that they can't

[+101] Suga doesn't hold back!! ㅋㅋㅋ Chinese Armies will always be in our thoughts!! They're such loyal fans.. It's sad that this is happening..

[+8] Find strength, Chinese Armies

[+34] Why wouldn't BTS want to perform where there are Armies? Suga is not wrong to say that they can't because of the Hallyu ban... he shouldn't be blamed when you wouldn't dare take it up with Xi Jin Ping yourself...

Netizens shocked at Ningning's example of "the camera adds 10 lbs"


Article: Aespa Ninging's real life pictures show why girl groups diet so hard

Source: Insight + Insight via Instagram

[+169] She's already lost so much weight and yet she still looks thicker compared to Karina and Winter... ㅠㅠ
- [+2] I think she's lost even more recently. She shouldn't look thicker next to Karina and Winter anymore.

[+55] She just seems to have lost more weight, the camera doesn't really add that drastic of an amount on you...
- [+35] These pictures are actually three days apart

[+44] Seems deadly

[+41] I know that idols will go out of their way to lose more weight... but their lifestyles are just natural diets. They barely eat anything and work out all day, it's hard to keep weight on with a schedule like that..

[+27] She's lost so much recently

[+7] Wow, she's really skinny. It does seem like she's lost more weight but she looks really good. Kind of has a Jennie vibe.

[+3] I thought this was Jennie for a second

[+3] Ningning-ah 😢🤍

[+3] I saw IVE's Liz at Galleria today and I remembered all the hate she got for being chubby but she's actually super gorgeous, adorable, and skinny in real life. I was like "where is the chubby, damm*t~" she's just super pretty;; I became an instant fan

Kang Min Kyung learns from feedback and offers more employee benefits in new job listings

 Article: 'Employee pay scandal' Kang Min Kyung promises outstanding employee benefits in new job listing

Source: Asia Economy via Naver

Benefits: welcome kit of the company's best selling items, 50% employee discount, stipend for learning and exercise classes, stipend for educational books, one month's paid vacation for three-year employees, birthday coupons, half days on birthdays, vacation day on company founding day, extra days off in the summer, free snacks as requested monthly, bonuses for holidays, parental benefits and stipends

-

[+1,276, -15] The best employee benefit you can give any staff is a high salary

[+803, -22] At least she's willing to learn and change

[+162, -36] Eh, it's not that extraordinary

[+40, -3] The benefits aren't that extraordinary ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ "leisurely lunch break" ㅋㅋㅋ A better benefit would've been lunch that's provided or paid for, or just a higher salary

[+24, -2] This is good. She's willing to change and keep promises.

[+19, -2] The benefits are alright for a company of her size... The benefits in real world companies aren't as great as the media wants you to believe. That's why all the big guys like Kakao eventually end up cutting back on benefits and forcing employees back to the office...

[+11, -1] Sad that people will still find a reason to hate her instead of acknowledge that she's willing to learn and change

[+11, -3] I don't find anything about her benefits extraordinary

[+8, -1] Do you guys really believe people are capable of change? Especially someone who has a history of lying about her YouTube sponsorships, who listed 25 million a year for a staff salary, who begs for companies to sponsor her company furniture? People don't change, that's the fact.

[+6, -2] Either way, she's shown a willingness to change... and sometimes that's all that matters ㅎ too bad it's hard to change an image once it's been cemented.

[+4, -0] Her benefits are pretty decent for a small company like hers. Some of you act like you work for huge companies with big benefits.

-

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

[+866] So let's stop with the hate now... She's a perfect example of someone who's listening to the feedback and making changes, no? I remember when she gifted AirPod Maxes to her staff, people were still hating on her saying she should've just given it to them in cash...

[+412] People make mistakes. What matters is how they make sure it doesn't happen again.

[+203] At least she's proving she has entrepreneur chops through her progress ㅎ problem -> solution -> overcome. Fighting ㅎ 

[+95] She's doing a good job~ it's benefits like this that gather good talent to your company and produce better results~ I wish your company daebak!

[+84] I really like seeing that she's acknowledged her mistakes and made the appropriate changes

[+46] The benefits of her company were never under controversy, it was the salary, no? 

[+31] I'm actually jealous of those benefits... Most shopping malls offer crap benefits, I wish I could get even half of that list...

[+623, -218] I wish him happiness. His new marriage looks 100 times happier.

[+309, -87] He seems to like women with quite the life stories, even though he never seems ready for it.

[+339, -202] He looks happier after escaping from Hye Gyo~ ^^

[+140, -15] Joong Ki-ya, I wish you happiness~

[+111, -41] He's got his 10 billion won home in Korea, a son in Rome~ he's got all his wishes now so please live quietly in Rome!! Because I personally can't stand you anymore!!

[+75, -12] Since he was born in Rome, please just raise him there

[+64, -4] Joong Ki's a fool... and Seung Ki's an idiot....

[+60, -4] He lives such an exhausting life

[+46, -5] I just can't warm up to him...

[+39, -2] Congratulations on your new baby. I'm sure getting to call yourself a mom or dad will fill you with so much joy. Every moment with your new baby will be so special.

[+89, -53] Seems obvious that they don't intend tor aise this kid as Korean so is there a reason we have to know?

[+33, -3] I still think he's kind of a fool ㅋ

[+30, -1] I hope he grows healthy and strong... congratulations ot the family ^^

[+41, -13] Joong Ki's parents ㅎㅎㅎ I'm sure they're upset that they don't get to hold their power over their new daughter-in-law like they want to

[+22, -2] It's great if they're happy and all but... it doesn't feel stable to me...

[+32, -13] They were living in their Korean home not too long ago but it looks like they went all the way to Rome to make sure they don't have to send their son to the army ㅡㅡ

[+19, -4] Oh, I bet he's just adorable! Congratulations.

[+18, -3] I think marrying a foreigner is the best case scenario for Song Joong Ki. Because she doesn't speak his language or share his culture, his relatives can't butt in their business or treat her like a typical daughter-in-law. She's free to live overseas as she wishes. I'm sure Song Joong Ki's family is just itching to get their nagging in.

[+147] It'd be so unfair if they ended it the way they did and then didn't give us a third season...

[+101] We must get a third season!! We haven't finished the story of the first Mountain God ㅠ

[+93] Wait, so a third season hasn't even been confirmed yet but they chose to end the second season that way...?? Please make the third season about the Mountain Gods and leave out the love line! And keep Kim So Yeon-nim!!!! As someone who's finished both seasons, Kim So Yeon was the best decision the series has made!!

[+74] We saw the Mountain God watch over Lee Hyun going home... you have to show us what happens next 🥲

[+49] Loved this season because of Kim So Yeon. Probably one of my most recent favorites 💕

[+37] Story-wise, we definitely need to keep Lee Dong Wook, Kim Bum, Hwang Hee, and Jo Bo Ah. Lee Dong Wook alone can't fight the villain, the first Mountain God, so I'm curious to see who his assistant will be. I don't think we'll be seeing more of Ryu Kyung Soo or Kim So Yeon... I personally would love to see Lee Kyu Hyung play the South Mountain God...

[+29] I thought it was assured that we were getting a third season. We still haven't finished the story of the first Mountain God, and how embarrassing would the last episode be if there wasn't a third ㅎㅎ

[+26] It'd be so daebak if we got Shin Min Ah

[+23] I want to see all four Mountain Gods... and of course we need to keep our baby Gumiho 🦊 and the Jiri mountain fox 🦊 ㅎㅎ

[+21] The actors were all so perfect for their roles. I crave more seasons, especially with Kim So Yeon-nim~~~ She was the star this season!!! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[+17] This drama's just so good..

[+6] We must get another season!!!!! ㅠㅠ

[+2] If this is how it ends, you can't call it an open ending 🥹

[+2] I remember reading before the second season was out that the series was signed for a third season as well

[+3] We need Kim So Yeon in the third ㅋㅋㅋ the second season was so much better than the first

[+897] She's already dealing with the grief of losing her own son... but having to read about complete strangers debating over how he died must rip her heart to shreds.. 

[+363] Depression is scary. So when a celebrity opens up about their depression, please don't accuse them of being weak or being soft... Just believe them.

[+214] Please just let him rest peacefully in heaven~~~ ㅜㅜㅜㅜ

[+90] It'd be odd for people not to gossip about it considering how heavily the media's been speculating about it as well ㅜㅜ

[+80] Enough's enough, people.. Just let him rest peacefully. Behaving like this is probably upsetting him in the after life still...

[+41] May he rest in peace.

[+24] Just let him rest 🔥🔥

[+18] If you're a human being, please don't cross the line

[+14] Still, it seems the rumors are lesser than what they were when Sulli or Jonghyun passed... Perhaps our society has matured in between these years. 

[+10] Why would you ever want to say such things about someone who's passed..

[+9] .. Such a shame. I don't know how people can have the heart to speculate about such a thing. Didn't your parents teach you better?...

[+7] There are some lines that shouldn't be crossed, and it must be heartbreaking for complete strangers to cross that line repeatedly. Does it make them feel good to make up lies and have people react to it? Do they feel better about it because it doesn't actually affect them at the end of the day? I hope karma gets them all.

International 'Business Proposal' fans cobble together dating hints between Kim Sejung and Ahn Hyo Seob



Article: International fans of 'Business Proposal' find Lovestagram hints between Ahn Hyo Seob and Kim Sejung

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+250] Whether they're dating or not, just leave them be......

[+226] They're a great match. They're young and at an age where there's nothing wrong with dating if they're into each other. Life is short and we should all enjoy it with the people we love. 

[+156] As long as they're not having an affair or anything, leave them be...

[+66] Isn't Ahn Hyo Seob dating someone else..?
- [+5] Their relationship was never confirmed but that's what the rumors were... and a lot of time has passed, so I suppose they broke up as well ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+52] Just date 👏 Just date 👏

[+33] 🌟Everyone🌟 Kim Sejung had a live stream yesterday where she asked why rumors of her in Japan with oppa came about and said that she went with her close best friend and older brother, and that she wouldn't react further to such rumors again :)

[+27] I actually don't think they match at well. He shined brighter with Lee Sung Kyung. 

[+20] It's crazy how international fans are always making up these things all the time. I see SEA fans chasing around stars filming hidden cameras around here, I see international fans leaving comments making up stories about how married actors and actresses are dating cast members from their favorite dramas ㅡㅡ I have never seen such delusion in my life. They don't care who it is, they just want to hook everyone up with each other. 

[+18] They look great together 😍

[+15] It did seem pretty obvious with how much Kim Se Jung seemed to be consciously avoiding looking at Ahn Hyo Seob at the year-end ceremonies. I figured they either had something going on or they had a bad relationship. 

[+11] International fans are too deluded

[+10] Kim Sejung talked about it on her live yesterday and asked why she would ever go to Japan with Ahn Hyo Seob ㅋㅋ so I suppose it's not true... And it isn't the first time that the delusional international fans have made up evidence like this to support their own delusions tsk tsk
- [+1] No for real, why are international fans so delusional...

[+9] Didn't he have a girlfriend?

[+4] They match well ㅋㅋ I do wish they'd date

Unmanned convenience stores are on the rise, but what's the theft situation actually like?

Article: New unmanned stores opening at five times the rate in three years... "Theft? Still cheaper than paying employees"

Source: Joongang Ilbo via Nate

[+494, -18] I think these stores should still invest in vending machines and force people to pay before getting access to the product

[+428, -16] Or allow entry to the stores only to people who swipe their cards first. Even if someone runs away with more than they paid for, you still have their card on record.

[+396, -9] It takes a long time but the thieves all eventually get caught. I remember my town had a guy go in with a mask, hat, and glasses to steal and he was caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Got his picture hung up by the store along with step-by-step updates of his criminal case ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I still go to that store often and I see all of the customers look at his picture and laugh ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+28, -1] Nothing like employee expenses to scare a business owner 

[+24, -2] These businesses need to do more to combat theft. They can't just expect police to be waiting around at their beck and call. There needs to be a minimum level of effort in preventing theft on their end first. These unmanned stores expect too much.

[+24, -8] Well, people are just going to steal more if these businesses are saying they're still coming out ahead by saving on employee costs

[+13, -1] Most of the unmanned stores in my town are closing down~ They've all competed each other in prices to the ground. Actual convenience stores end up being cheaper for the same product~

[+6, -0] It would probably cost these stores about 6 million won a month to keep an employee on site, and I doubt they're suffering more than 6 million won in losses anyway

[+5, -2] These stores need to forfeit their right to report theft, then. They may get away with a net profit by not having to keep an employee on site but they're just creating more busy work for our police in the end.

Mysterious ghost figure atop highway tunnel spooks drivers, turns out to be curious middle schooler


Article: "I wanted to see the pretty sky" female middle schooler climbs atop highway soundproof tunnel 10-some meters high

Source: Yonhap News via Nate

[+1,596, -45] You have got to be kidding me. You can see the sky from the rooftop of your own home; you know that, right? 

[+1,234, -39] She better not have done this to post about on SNS

[+994, -32] What a show

[+101, -0] She may just be saying that as an excuse. Maybe she was thinking other things. I think her school and her parents should keep an eye on her.

[+73, -2] Perhaps she climbed up there to commit s*icide but couldn't do it and is giving an excuse now? Because to climb something that high, all alone... especially at an age where you make spontaneous decisions like this more easily... She's just a child so let's please cool it with the hate comments. It's not like you've all never committed a mistake before...

[+54, -6] Perhaps she should be tested for drugs? Because I've never seen a middle schooler do something like this without being under the influence of something.

[+38, -4] She might be going through something... Sure, maybe she really did go up there to "see the sky"... but why would you want to see the sky unless you were feeling something mentally or emotionally difficult to process? Someone needs to take a look into what her life has been like...

[+24, -2] That's insane behavior

[+22, -0] Aigoo, you immature brat. You almost put so many lives at danger with this. Thank goodness she got down safely.

[+21, -3] She almost got sent to the sky just by attempting to see it

[+14, -2] Her excuse may sound believable but I think she went up there to commit s*icide and then got scared

Transgender model Choi Han Bit is getting married

Article: Transgender model Choi Han Bit of Korea's Next Top Model and Dancing with the Stars 9 fame is getting married

Source: Wikitree via Instagram

[+255] A lot of negative comments... What is so problematic about finding someone who loves you down to your wounds and getting married to them..? Trans or not, we're all human in the end... 😢

[+200] I saw her in real life at Apgujeong a long time ago and she was so pretty, both face and body..

[+119] I remember grabbing drinks with her before she became famous. She's such a kind person. I had my own biases at the time so I wasn't able to get closer with her but I know that she's a great person (and I'd love to apologize to her if I could go back in time). She's a beautiful person inside and out, so please don't leave hate comments. Congratulations on the marriage.

[+61] Genuine question, is their marriage legal?
- [+188] Transgenders get their IDs changed to reflect that they're legally a woman now. Legally, their marriage will be that of between a man and a woman, so there's no issue.
- [+13] She was able to change her legal gender to a female so it's possible~
- [+29] You can file for a gender correction application, and once it's accepted, your marriage is considered man and woman

[+52] I remember when she was on the talk show 'Misuda' and said that men should always pay for the dates..

[+22] Wow, I haven't heard from her in a while

[+1] I wish her happiness~

[+1] I wish them a happy life~ ^^

[+953] Now journalists will inundate her article titles with "Late Moonbin's little sister Moon Sua smiles brightly on stage," "Late Moobin's little sister Moon Sua this or that"....

[+315] I am not a Billie fan but I wish her strength. She has my support. 

[+151] "I wish I got more piggyback rides"... It will always make me sad to read this. 

[+141] Moon Sua, find strength. Strength.

[+82] Aigoo, she can take more time if she needs it... Sua, I know this is hard for you, but please hold on. I wish you happiness 🫶🏻

[+43] Keep going and make your brother proud! Rather than find strength, ah-geon-bab-haeng 🫶 don't be sick, stay healthy

[+7] Please stop ordering her to rest more if she doesn't need it. Sometimes it's easier for people to process these things when they get back to a normal routine after a week or two.. ㅠㅠ

[+3] Sua-ya, find strength!!!!!

[+2] I just hope that "the late Moonbin's little sister" doesn't follow her around forever with everything she does...

Actress Jin Ye Sol arrested for drunk driving


Article: 'Drunk driver' actress turns out to be Jin Ye Sol "I will reflect and take hiatus" handwritten apology

Source: Financial News via Naver

[+727, -8] Don't care, don't even know who you are

[+343, -3] Don't bother coming back. Just keep your hiatus going. Someone innocent could've died because of you. You really couldn't spare the extra money to call a taxi instead?

[+302, -5] Cause an accident -> run away -> agency shields you -> public outcry -> handwritten apology -> apology video in black outfit -> close comments on all SNS content -> return to TV after 6 months -> claim you have been undergoing mental health treatments -> promise to work harder for your fans. The current trend of scandals!

[+196, -5] Celebrities are considered public figures for a reason. Because you are expected to lead by example. Please do not call people like this public figures.

[+188, -5] People will never consider drunk driving a crime to forgive. It will always be considered attempted murder.

[+84, -0] I don't even know who you are

[+48, -3] Why do celebrities always think a handwritten apology will fix anything after they've committed something terrible like drunk driving? Just voluntarily quit your celebrity career and live the rest of your life out quietly.

[+32, -1] No need for a hiatus. Just don't ever come back. What you've committed is attempted murder.

[+23, -0] Your career's over, there's no hiatus here ㅋ

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+303] I had to look her up to figure out who she is and she was on some TV show claiming that she only drinks warm teas over coffee and refuses to eat anything with flour in it because of how strict she is with taking care of herself... seems like she had no problem scarfing down that alcohol, though ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ what a comedy

[+447] There's no forgiving drunk driving, ever. Anyone who grabs hold of the steering wheel after driving is pretty much declaring that they're going to kill someone. Don't ever come back; 

[+157] An actress who made it big off of her drunk driving scandal and not for her acting ㅋㅋㅋ

[+32] Please don't drink if you don't have enough money to spare for a taxi

[+14] Hiatus nono, retirement yesyes

[+8] Was trading your life in to save a few bucks on a taxi worth it?

Aespa's Ningning opens her own Weibo account

Article: "Aespa fans in shock" Chinese member Ningning is the only one to open Chinese SNS Weibo

Source: Insight via Instagram

[+290] She's Chinese to the bone, what do you expect... Not only is she only here to make money, she's potentially tainting Aespa's image as well... so just let her take her money and go.
- [+6] Let her go where? She never said she's leaving. Instagram is banned in China so she opened a Weibo to communicate with her Chinese fans, what's the big deal.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+170] No one's shocked over this, you fools. Chinese members in other idol groups all have their own Weibos, and tons of Korean idols have actually opened their own as well. She's been suffering for years in our country just to be treated like she's going to run back to China, and I'll make note of you all! Leave Ningning alone~~!!

[+150] I don't get why our country makes such a big deal out of this. It's not like we send our artists overseas and expect them to change ethnicities to wherever they're working in? Ningning has always been Chinese, and she's only here to work here, not become a Korean citizen. Stop treating her like trash and assuming the worst of her...

[+130] I never know what the true motives behind the decisions Chinese idols make are. I heard that once Chinese idols gain enough experience here, they get a ton of offers and pressure from Chinese investors. 

[+109] It can't be helped. There's already a set precedent of Chinese idols who gain enough experience and fame going back to China. Just look at SM's history. They may no longer be promoting in our country but they're all active back home.
- [+21] But what else do you expect them to do? Even our own Korean idols have to find other career paths once their idol careers fizzle out, and you can't expect the foreign members to launch acting careers here? And companies stop giving you comebacks after their focus shifts to their new rookie group...
- NCT has the biggest ratio of Chinese members and they're all still here, so what's your problem again? 

[+45] No one's shocked

[+44] What? ㅋㅋ All of the Chinese members in NCT have Weibos... and did any of them run away?... ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+33] No one in Aespa's fanbase is shocked ㅋㅋㅋ All this nonsense over creating an SNS account in her own country. I feel like anyone who's assuming the worst of her are just egging her on to live up to their assumptions...

[+21] Oh, shut up. There are a ton of other groups who have Weibo accounts but of course people are the worst to Ningning about it. 

[+10] All of SM's Chinese artists have Weibos. Why would you expect her not to have one? 

[+6] What are people going on about. She's never said she was going back to China. She made a Weibo because China has a VPN ban on SNS and there's no other way for her to communicate with her Chinese fans. This is the same as if we were hating on a Korean star in China for creating a Korean SNS account. I don't get why people are so mean to a kid who came here because she loves our country and has actually undergone the longest training period out of Aespa... With all this hate, I wouldn't blame her if she wanted to leave at all. I know that a lot of Chinese idols have moved to China, not just in SM, but there are still a lot of hard-working Chinese idols left here, and it's unfair to jump to assumptions and hate about them before they've even done anything.

[+2] This type of hate helps no one. It's like hating on a Korean star who's working in another country for opening a Naver blog account. Unbelievable to hate on a Chinese star for opening an SNS account from her own country ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You all expect way too much from idols who only have so many years in their career anyway.

Ulsan Hyundai FC issues apology for racist comments made by their players


Article: Ulsan Hyundai players under controversy for racist remarks on darker skin color of teammate

Source: Insight + Wikitree via Instagram [English article here]

[+201] Just a reminder that you can always keep your ignorance hidden by choosing to keep your fingers and mouth closed 😢

[+151] The funny thing about our country is that we may seem like a national power and a first world country on the outside but our people are far from it in our way of mind. So much of the world is moving forward in an attempt to leave racism behind and accept globalization (aside from the elderly) but... our country is still so very racist, on an extreme level. What makes us think we're so much better than SEA countries? If it's because our country is richer, then does that give richer countries than us like China, Japan, and other Western countries the right to look down on us, too? We are too fixated on lookism and wealth... but what's even funnier is that even with all that obsession, our self-esteem still remains so low. When are we going to grow as a society?

[+139] What a way to splash cold water over all the talent and achievements your team has accomplished... 

[+126] While the team's captain is running campaigns to fight racism, his players are committing racism, the f*ck ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ=

[+92] I can honestly see friends talking like this in private conversations but why would they speak about it so openly on a public platform;;

[+90] Turning their accounts private and deleting the offensive posts is not really an apology, is it? 

[+75] Initially, I thought that people were overreacting to something that isn't that big of a deal... but then I tried to think, what if a European player made fun of a teammate with hooded eyes by calling them Asian? And yeah, that pisses me off. 

[+53] The media needs to stop calling it "inappropriate remarks" and call it for what it is: racism

[+28] Please think of your own seniors who have suffered countless acts of racism on foerign fields before you. You're a public figure, you know to behave better than this. 

[+12] It makes you wonder how normalized such racist remarks have been between them that they didn't even realize how wrong it is to post something like that in public

[+9] Issues like racism will never personally affect them because they're not talented enough to make it out of the country in the first place ㅋㅋㅋ Embarrassing, tsk tsk

[+8] And it's because of fools like you that there's the stereotype of athletes being dumb, please just kick them all off the team

[+4] Such smooth brains because all they've ever known to do is kick a ball around all their lives

[+3] They need to come out and admit that they were wrong and upload a proper apology in both Thai and English. As a fan, I also support further punishment of kicking them off the team. 

[+3] Karma will get them... When they get on European fields, the racism will come back to them, though I doubt any of them are skilled enough to make it that far.

Netizens ridicule woman in her twenties caught acting like an iljin to middle schoolers

[+685] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Still playing iljin while in your twenties, that's hilarious

[+414] Wait, you're 26 years old and acting like this?? How are you not embarrassed.... ㅋㅋ

[+158] Tsk tsk, they're worried about roleplaying iljins when they should be worried about their retirement savings

[+154] Their IQ should be tested, they seem way slower than the average..

[+142] Man, their classmates should've let them roleplay as iljins back in school... Isn't it obvious that they're trying to be iljins now because they couldn't before?

[+41] 26 years old ㅋㅋㅋ what do you even want to be greeted by a middle/high schooler for... I initially thought this news was about fellow teens

[+54] At 26, I was already raising my own children... and yet some people are going around acting so childishly like this. 

[+41] Seems like they haven't been able to adjust to the real world and are trying to relive their glory days by roleplaying iljins

[+16] 26 years old... which would make them 96er/97ers... How do you sleep at night without feeling embarrassed of your life? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+2] Unnis with no education, no achievements... nothing but the glory days of their iljin pasts to fall back on

[+70, -2] Is there a typo? Did you mean 16 year old? Not 26? Because I refuse to believe that someone's life is this sh*tty that they are taking their anger out on middle/high schoolers... tsk tsk.

[+44, -0] People like this have no respect for human beings at all. They want respect but have not earned it so they demand it just for the fact that they're older.

[+2, -0] 26 years old? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ah, sorry... ㅎㅎㅎ just too funny;;; unless the journalist-nim made a typo and meant 16 years old?;;;;

[+1, -0] No, but really, if you're in your twenties and still behaving like this, the first commenter is right... why do you bother living and wasting our rice? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+63] They don't have a lot of members so having one missing does leave quite an impact ㅠ She must be really sick if she wasn't even able to make it to rehearsals..

[+59] I hope they're taking care of their stamina.. The members seem to be getting sick in turn with one another. They have so many other schedules on top of their tour, and it's taking a toll on their staminas. They're only four members, too, so having one missing leaves a huge impact... What happens if a member's missing at these tours? Do you get a refund? 

[+57] There were reports that she was vomiting. This is the first time that she's been sick to the point where she couldn't even finish her stage.. So can we please stop with the hate comments? With her new drama, there have been an influx of hate comments of people saying things that I wouldn't ever dare say with my own mouth. Even the media and the journalists have been fanning the fire. I will always remember their names, like 10asia's Kim Seo Yeoon reporter ㅡㅡ She was putting out articles with titles like "The fall of Human Chanel Jennie," just being a complete hater, and featuring it on the main page of Naver. Let's please stop acting like animals before we lose another person. 

[+48] Taking breaks when you're sick needs to be normalized for everyone

[+40] They've been on their world tour for months now on top of flying in and out for individual schedules, it'd be bizarre if she wasn't sick from it all.. ㅠㅠ

[+40] Black Pink's recent schedule has been way too intense. Especially with Jennie attending Cannes on top of it all, I'm sure it's been hard for her...

[+34] Jendeukie, take a break if you're sick.. Blinks may enjoy ourselves when you're having fun with us at these concerts but our priority will always be your health. Take a hiatus if you need to and treat it like a deep break to get back to health. 

[+25] Black Pink's been really busy, no..? Jisoo was sick yesterday, and now it's Jennie ㅠ Jennie especially has a really intense personal schedule on top of the tour; I feel like I've seen her at airports all year long ㅠ I wish YG would cut back on her schedule a bit

[+19] Be healthy, Jennie ㅠㅠㅠ

[+7] Protect Black Pink at all costs ㅜㅜ

[+27] You have got to be kidding me. There are so many talented actors who probably fit this role way better and are more desperate for it... It's sick that she lands these opportunities so easily just because she's famous. I personally love Marvel but stuff like this turns me off from them.

[+176] Yoo Yeon Suk's diction when he's going through medical terms in his lines is perfect. His gaze, his chemistry, nothing but awe for this man... 👏🏻👏🏻

[+91] He's a real actor when he's getting bounced around by Kim Sa Boo... and then he goes back to hanging out with his crew at Yoolje Hospital 😂😂😂😂😂

[+78] Two years ago, he was handling all this on top of 'Hospital Playlist' and 'Narco-Saints'... This time, he's filming 'Dr. Romantic' on top of a serial killer role ㅋㅋㅋ He's amazing. He has the best face for swapping into any character you need. 

[+52] 0.2% more and we'll get to see him keep his promise 🥹

[+29] Today will be important!!! With 'Doctor Cha' over, it will matter whether those viewers naturally come over to this drama or not. We'll see with next week's viewer ratings.

[+18] I feel like the scriptwriter has written more plot points than she can handle right now, though

[+8] All we need is Yoon Seo Jung (Seo Hyun Jin) back and we'll hit 20% viewer ratings easy
