It's hard to articulate but I do get what Danny's saying about not excessively dogpiling on Actor K. The thing is if we assume the rest of the backstory is true, then actually him going to the funeral would be just as criticized because "look at him shamelessly pretending to show sympathy and protect his image when secretly he's a scumbag" and if he wasn't going to any events it would just be "he's hiding because he's guilty and hopes it'll just blow over if he lays low". Once you've decided someone is guilty of something it's easy to paint everything they do in a negative light and assign intentions to their actions based on what you believe. Until we're all 100% no doubt hard evidence that all of this happened, it's very dangerous to circulate rumors that will turn into "truth" in the public eye and yes, could very well lead to someone taking their life, especially if they're innocent but feel like it's gone too far and no one will ever believe them again. It's important to stop and wait for evidence before passing judgement, and definitely before acting as if the judgement is true. It doesn't hurt anyone to wait for evidence, we can always go full hate train on Actor K later if he deserves it. But if it turns out later he doesn't deserve it and we've already gone full hate train, now we've added one more person to the list of people who have gotten hurt. And it's important to differentiate between whether behavior is evil/criminal vs maybe just insensitive/cold. Whether or not he dated a minor is something that can be eventually proven and would be unforgivable regardless of intent. But what was going through his head when he didn't go to her funeral or went to GD's party is something no one will ever know for sure, and doesn't make sense to try and guess. Like sure we can say we think it shows he's cold and callous, but again he would be criticized for doing the exact opposite too, because what's rubbing people the wrong way isn't those specific things he did, it's that they already believe he's guilty of the one thing and so they're looking for more reasons to say he must ALSO be fully evil and terrible in all other aspects too. People should of course be punished for whatever bad things they've done, but that doesn't mean we should make up other reasons to punish them. Doing one bad thing, no matter how terrible, isn't proof that someone has done other bad things or has other bad thoughts and intentions. It's almost like they're intentionally trying to create reasons to hate him more, even when something he's being accused of and will eventually be provable is already deserving of hate. It's less about whether or not you think Actor K deserves to be defended, and more about why does it feel like people are so ready and excited to hate on someone to that extent, as if they aren't just reacting to what has actually happened but have been waiting for any excuse to tear them down? Whether someone deserves to be torn down or not, it's a very scary mindset for a society to have.

2025-03-15 00:48:19 +0000 UTCThe dating age gap is obviously wrong ( legally wrong too - but also these days with the French president age 47 dating Bridget macron 71 you never know) but anything personal like attending GD's party or whether he wants to attend the funeral or not is up to him really. People can judge if they want but at the end of the day its his decision and even if its not what others choose to do its what he chose to do and theres nothing illegal about. As a celebrity he is subject to opinions because he has public attention on him but he's still just a person and in regards to whether he wants to attend a funeral or not or a party it is up to him. The choice of whether or not to attend an exes funeral depends on the nature of the relationship and no one really knows the details of that. We also don't know the nature of the 700K or why the aunt is speaking up (who is this aunt? and why did they go through that youtube channel?) We are seeing a very limited amount of text receipts (if they are true) and the news so far is one-sided. I personally think there isn't enough information yet. They just released a statement saying they dated when she wasn't a minor and the aunt wasn't really the aunt so now so I do not know what to think of that. Someone is lying for sure (and its batshit crazy in my opinion if actor K decides to lie AGAIN with all this attention on him - he would be done for sure).

2025-03-14 06:20:47 +0000 UTCbc it doesn’t matter. he would still be a pedo. that’s the thing. maybe people did interfere and she didn’t listen. even after breaking up, she told her aunt he was a good guy and she was an adult back then. the grooming was well done and besides when someone comes out of a bad relationsip, they don’t want to acknowledge the bad bc then you would have to accept that you are a victim and everything that come ls with it

2025-03-14 00:27:29 +0000 UTCI always see people seeing K-Pop and K-Drama industry in a really negative light after a bad incident. Never got it until now. I don’t know if he was in a relationship with her but if he was, it changes my whole perspective on the Drama industry. The man only features in the best of things. The best, most powerful actors, producers and directors who have the power to say no to working with him works with him. They all condone a disgusting act. I don’t think anyone could have intervened and saved Saeron so that’s not the point. The point is people ultimately had no problem with him and worked with him. The relationship was an open secret after all and how could it not be. Cancel all his male friends bc they knew for a fact. Also, Saeron was in an alleged pedophillic relationship from age 15 to 22 and then the man left her and turned on her. If she was crashing out during or after the relationship, its more than understandable. There can be a huge discussion on how people, especially women, are reacting to the allegation of him dating a minor and the ramifications of it on the minor/adult.

2025-03-14 00:05:49 +0000 UTCEven if he wasn’t in a relationship with her, the pictures on him kissing her proves that he is a pedo bc why do you have such relations with someone so much younger? His comment about being 41 and marrying someone 21 was lecherous. A lot of people’s issue with him now is that he is a pedo, not how his actions after the breakup led to her death. I also don’t think the relationship was any good either given the power imbalance and just the the lewd nature of the man.

2025-03-13 23:47:38 +0000 UTCAs it was stated, facts don't have feelings, and if she owed a dead, they had every legal right to collect it. However, it makes no sense for them to pursue the repayment so aggressively. Considering they know she didn't have the money and it would have made more sense to compromise with her and set up a repayment plan. So they could actually collect money from her and relieve some of the stress and burden off of her at the same time.

2025-03-13 18:24:37 +0000 UTCThere is no premise to justify why an ex-lover should attend the funeral of his ex as the evidence shows they were not on good terms after the relationship ended. Can you see yourself being welcomed by family members at your ex-lover’s funeral if you’re possibly deem the culprit for their suicidal death? Pls walk in his shoe on this funeral issue.

2025-03-13 18:15:07 +0000 UTCIf he’s a pedo, her parents and all the adults in her circle are sex traffickers

2025-03-13 18:09:03 +0000 UTCWhy isn’t anyone questioning the family who consented the relationship????? If this relationship was illegal from the start, why didn’t they report it or stopped it from HAPPENING??? Everyone who knew about it in her circle should be ashamed and be seen as TRAFFICKERS!!!

2025-03-13 18:03:24 +0000 UTCWhy is Danny trying so hard to defend KSH?? Even if he wasn’t a pedo the facts that suing her for $700K immediately shows that he tortured her by ghosting her. I think it’s very telling that she unalived herself on his birthday. They had a 6 year relationship and he couldn’t give her a grace period to pay him back? I feel for KSR she was desperate until she thought the only course of action was death. At the very least KSH is a disgusting piece of shit human being 🤮

2025-03-13 18:02:44 +0000 UTCBang shi yuk not acknowledging his subordinates is not a one off occurrence. V of BTS said Bang PD did not know who he was during their trainee year! So Hanni needs to get over herself.

2025-03-13 15:52:30 +0000 UTCI feel bad that the NJ girls have been manipulated by MHJ. The more that comes out just appears to be spoiled mentality that was fed to them. Yes, they are talented but what has been presented is simply naïveté on their part. Boo hoo someone don’t say hi to you. And it’s true, facts don’t give a shit about your feelings. Boo hoo a designer didn’t give you an ambassadorship. Sorry, not sorry. Welcome to the real world little girls. I think they expected the world and more because of MHJ.
