    [+1,005, -44] Han Hyo Joo, you should be more focused on finding out the truth behind what your brother did in the army. I can still hear the cries of the father of the dead soldier.


    [+551, -66] What a joke. So these celebrities are now trying to say it's a crime to even report on their crimes? What is so wrong about reporting the truth? The media did what they had to do by reporting the facts of the case, and the recorded conversation was leaked by the blackmailers... why would you expect the reporters not to release that? Do you celebrities think you're untouchable or something? You think you can make up these images for yourself while keeping your private lies hidden away? You guys do realize that the US, Japan, and Europe are way worse with media exposure than what you deal with here? If you don't like your dirt being exposed to the media, then don't be celebrities.


    [+403, -17] Han Hyo Joo's brother bullied a junior to death in the military. Lee Sun Gyun, a married man, was doing drugs with pr*stitutes before committing s*icide mid-investigation. Who is really at fault here?


    [+301, -15] Han Hyo Joo-ssi, pipe down


    [+230, -17] So why were you all quiet the entire time he was getting investigated and are only speaking up now?


    [+85, -1] People are constantly led to believe that s*cide is a solution to their problems because people like everyone at this press conference constantly absolve you of your crimes if you k*ll yourself


    [+62, -1] Let me just remind all of you that you guys kept your mouth shut when he was actually alive and suffering. Not one of you stood up and stood by his side. Why all this fuss now that he's dead?


    [+48, -1] Are they truly doing this for the dead or for themselves?


    [+45, -2] Why do celebrities act like they're above the law??


    [+42, -1] This is so rich coming from celebrities who make millions off of the public's support and still choose to do immoral things


    [+35, -1] So what do these celebrities want? They want the wealth and fame that comes with their job but none of the societal responsibilities?


    [+23, -0] Your mouths were sure shut tight when he was under investigation, now look at you acting like you're fighting for justice only now


    [+20, -2] So what is it that they really want in the end? That celebrities should be able to do drugs in private and get away with it? That the police shouldn't be able to touch them? He both did drugs and cheated on his wife, why should that have not been investigated? Did they want the police to go "easy" on him with the questions?


    [+19, -1] He had the choice of just being faithful to his family, and he chose not to. Why wouldn't the media report it? An A-list actor getting caught cheating on his family with a p*ristute in her twenties is front-page news, why would you ever expect the media to not report that?


    [+16, -1] Am I the only one that finds it hypocritical that all of them kept their mouths shut and ties closed when he was alive and are only now speaking up?

    I read the Naver article and from what I understand, it's asking for tighter security to prevent leaks of unrelated info. This is because of the recent suicide of Lee Sun-gyun in which a private conversation that had little to do with the ongoing drug charges was leaked and used as fodder for gossip. Just before his death, he apparently said he had felt wronged by this and requested a lie detector test, but ultimately took his own life.

    Second comment doesn't really understand the US/UK/etc. A scandal here might have more media exposure but it also rarely ruins your career or reputation for life. Usually not even for more than like a few years max. lol Nobody cares as long as you didn't murder or r*pe someone and we have really short memories (and attention spans).

    And they only have themselves to blame? Like in the US, Elites protect Elites. All SK would have to do, is become more corrupt. They are already a money first society/ultra capitalist society.

    Jada Pinkett Smith LITERALLY cheated on her husband, with her son's friend And she still getting invited to shit.

    Its weird they are trying to get the government to change policy, when they can just control in themselves like in the US. The media in the US report on alot of shit, uncover shit. R. Kelly had a video of him peeing on girls and he still was in public life.


    LIKE. Im not condoning the US system, but its amazing how SK choose to have such a strong societal firing squad and so much shame, instead of realizing people & life is messy and being a celebrity doesnt change that.

    Yeah, Korea confuses me with this because clearly the harsh social consequences don't actually change anything. People just try harder to not get caught or they kill themselves but it doesn't actually stop the behavior from occurring in general. If it did, they wouldn't continue to have the same kinds of scandals over and over again. Something about this approach is clearly not working.
