• Wow, news now a days in Korean entertainment sure leaves a nasty taste.

• All the scandals that got out make me become more suspicious, are they covering up something bigger? You know.. just like in political korean dramas..lol..

  • I was thinking the exact thing! Use celebrities as scrap goat for something craizier/bigger

    • Me tooo! Conspiracy theories ??

• "The messy failure of a marriage is such a personal thing that commentary is rather besides the point for outside observers."
  This, can't put it better.

• I can only feel for the wife and children...it's a sad mess I'm sure.

  • And she still won't leave him. I say, have some self-respect. Get divorced and let him pay for child support for the rest of his life. That'll teach him something. The cheating scumbag.

    • He just refused to pay for his daughter's University fees. You think divorce won't be messy? They have been married 30 years.

    • "Korea still has no law that provides for alimony or child support in divorce; divorce settlements generally provide for this assistance, IF they are agreed upon"

    • @Ck1Oz: "he just refused to pay for his daughter's university fees"

      What is this shit now?!

      Such an irony that they got together over the project "Right now, Wrong then". Affairs are always wrong then, wrong now!

  • @ Peeps:

    He stopped paying for daughter's uni fees bec job offers started drying up for Kim Min-hee after the news of her being 3rd party was known in the industry.

    So now he supposedly needs to support KMH financially to tide her over 'rough time', as doting bf and provider.

    • What a terrible person?

    • What the actual f@$#?!

      Die. He can just go die. I don't care what people do with their lives but if they mess with their kids, they're dead to me.

      I know many people work for their own uni fees but that's when they know that they have to. To suddenly be dropped such a bomb and then the reason... gosh, his poor kid.

    • He is probably trying to get his wife to divorce him by stopping payment for the university fees.
      It's sad that the daughter and wife ended up as victims for these two jokers. How cruel can he be? What is so good about kim min hee that she can get all the hunky BFs and now an old man to leave everything for her?

  • @Ck1Oz
    I don't understand why a father wouldn't want to pay for his daughter's education. It's quite sad that.

• Wow, S. Korean tabloid reporters must have been very happy recently, so much to write about and so productive.

• How come she is an adultress and he is not? They both cheated. She is not the one who is married. Also we never know what have been discussed between those two. He probably told her that he will leave his wife etc. etc.

  The weird thing is that this is like one of his films. Or maybe not so weird.

  His wife is the hardest to understand here. Their child is an adult now and can handle a divorce. Obviously this man doesn't want to spend rest of his life with her and I don't see why she should hang on to the cheating bastard.

  • Maybe because granting him divorce will make it easier for him to maneuver his adulterous relationship to a more decent status like marrying his mistress. The wife probably doesn't want to grant him that freedom.

    • Good Point. Actually know of a situation (told by my mother) whereby spurned wife refused divorce to prevent husband from marrying his lover. Husband quit job and moved to Costa Rica with lover. Stayed there for years; had another set of children. Wife remained home and lived in "quiet desperation".....she was miserable. There is a time and a place whereby one has to learn to just let go and move on with your life.

• Even though she could take some blame ,lets all think realistically and forget about this thing called morals because the world doesn't have any but realistically speaking Kim didn't make any type of loyal commitment to this guy's wife ,he did so I don't understand how people are putting so much of the blame on her like HE didn't choose to leave his family ,I wish people would stop acting like men can't think for themselves and just follow were they can get some new pussy, for goodness sake, this guy is in his late 50s but she "stole " him for his family ? Did she tie him up and put him in her car and force him to do this ? You guys need to stop living in your utopia and get with reality and stop thinking someone owes someone else something because they're women lol just my thoughts

  • Adultery is taboo...it affects people in all walks of life...people's opinion about it is never pleasant. "Married" women and "married" men play an "equal" role for this deplorable act to come about.

• Jo In Sung announced his breakup with Kim Min Hee in September 2014 and just a month later said they actually broke up 4 months ago.

  She's at fault for getting involved with a married man but she didn't cheat on her own bf to do it.

  But why is this coming out only now though? Apparently it was quite well known that she's been living with him for a year now. Either way, she's still over.

  • Poor Jo In Sung

    • Why poor him though? They were broken up for several months when she first hooked up with the director.

    • Lol always put the girl into the fire.

    • Teacakes and sky
      Stop defending her. You are very poor at math and try to stop being clever.

  • To put time into perspective - so if they broke up 4 months ago then it means that when JIS and GHY was filming IOIL, they have broken up?

    Don't think much of this girl. JIS and his IOIL gang seems genuinely nice.

    • JJ Elle
      If only Teacakes and sky can reason like you.
      Thanks for the smart deductions and fair remarks.

• Just read this article i didn't know, is they having realationship after the director moving out from his house or since he still living with his wife, we never know the thruth so i won't blame anyone, may be they have relationship after the marriage have problem n her wife didn't want to diforce, if ii'm hrr wife i will not insist to live with a man whose doesn't love me anymore

  • It doesn't really matter whether the affair was when he moved out or not. I think what matter is that he was a married man and I think that was all the fusses are about.

• Korean entertainment values honesty, innocence and "being nice" but the Yoochun news brought me the sad thought that the actors might not be as lovable as their characters. I feel like I can never re-watch Girl Who Sees Smells and never finish Sungkyunkwan Scandal. :(

  • That's just a whole bug lie there if people really think that the entertainment industry in general is nice and people are honest and innocent. In fact, it is the opposite as it is well known to be really dirty industry.

    • I agree.

  • I am not a fan, think Micky's acting has improved since SKKS ... but if having sex in bathrooms with sex workers floats his boats = so be it. And I enjoy DBSK's Mirotic, and think it was a shame they broke up as a group.

    The industry is dirty, and competitive (beyond looks and talent or lack of), and some pple do need to sleep their way up for favours/to get connections. Ditto for HK (how many were kept mistresses, made gd these days).

    These folk aren't lily-white, just like us plebians on the street. They fart, maybe j@ck off in private ... whatever. That's just reality. It's just WHO gets found out doing what, and gets exposied.

    • The issue isn't that Yoochun had sex with prostitutes in bathrooms, it's that he's accused of raping women in bathrooms. That's by far a bigger issue. Only two of the reported victims have known connections in the "pleasure" industry, and all of the women have said that he barred the bathroom doors, not letting them out. Yes, it's still under investigation so we don't know the truth... but it's not a "whatever floats your boat" situation when someone is accused of rape.

    • I think for international netizens, the issue is more that he's being accused of sexual assault by 4 women, not just him having sex with sex workers in the bathroom.

  • For me, I don't really care about their personal life. All I care about is whether the drama draw me in or not.
