• After Lee Sung-kyung, it's hard for me to read about celebrity scandals.
  I don't know if she was an accomplice or not, and I don't want to figure it out for myself.
  I hope the police will conduct a decent investigation.
  And seeing that she weighs 37 kilo, I just don't want to see her in an even worse condition.

  • Wait, what was Lee Sung-kyung's controversy? Or did you mean to refer to Lee Sun-kyun?

• I wish koala would stop doing this to further her blog. In soopmpi it was reported that PMY was questioned by the prosecution early in Feb 2023 and she was cleared of charges. This type of blogs is harmful. She is already at 37 kilos, do people want her to disappear from earth? What is this witch hunting.

  • 37 kilos?!!!? That is absolutely crazy. Let the police do the investigation and let this woman live.

    • The 37 kilos thing was her choice - she lost the weight as 'method acting' for her role as a dying cancer patient

    • @Vicki, you have got it wrong, she lost weight due to stress and illness... she was invited to film this drama after much presuasion as she lost confidence in herself. She has lost so much weight in 1 year, the PD used that to film her pre-rebirth scene.

      You need not like her but dont undermine her very bad year... her weight loss was not done due to this drama... it happened even before the drama.

    • As the person saying below it’s her choice. But she has stated that her health is so bad she has received treatment from all the stress. If she has been cleared by police I don’t know why she is being hounded. People should go and hound the police instead of 1) letting go of people if they are guilty 2) bullying innocent people to death

  • This is today's news from Dispatch and reported everywhere, not just Koala. I agree though that after LSK, Dispatch should stick to romantic "scandals" and live people alone.

  • Agreed. SM, non professional journalist-trained bloggers (Koala included), and tabloids should leave celebrities alone for this kind of unverified "scandals." These casual media sources should have bottom line when reporting celebrity news and they shouldn't cross the boundary.

    I'm visiting Koala's site to get updated information about Asian drama such as production, casting, and drama reviews etc., but not to pry into celebrities' private life. I only care about actors' professional works and performances. But this site is becoming rumor fodders of celeb's privacy. Just look at the contents on C-ent section, 90% about gossips and Cdrama fans seem to enjoy fighting about gossips LOL. Don't do that on K-ent blogs! If K-ent section becomes similar to C-ent contents, I'd not visit this blog site again. Koala used to write her own reviews in depth about dramas but not much anymore. I miss those days.

    • I agree with you. I’ve been reading Koala’s blog back when she still made quality reviews, year end lists of good kdramas etc. Now it’s just fodder for click-baits and celeb gossip—just like any rag tabloids looking to make a quick buck. You’d think since this is her blog she would at least raise it to a certain standard but no. Ah well, she’s the one making all these money from people’s misery. Must be fun.

• They were dating!!! He gave her some spending money... it is between this couple. This is just nasty... Media wants to hound her for dating the wrong guy!! This is just Sh*t. Dispatch likely did not get silencing money from her thus they do her in...

  • Agreed. She might have not known exactly what the guy was doing and thought he was an average rich man. After all, rich businessmen all more or less had utilised some sort of scheme to make their fortunes, that's how they became rich.

    I've started watching her drama upon your recommendation and I really like it so far.

    • @Lilth, I even enjoy the 'bad' exBF and Gf characters alot...They are mean but yet funny.

  • @HL, I agree with you this time. LOL

    Too much attention on celebrities' private life. It's getting boring and disgusting.

    • Yes...it is. And we dont have to agree with each other on many things. That is what makes the world interesting...

  • Yeah it’s disgusting how they hound her like this.

• I cannot believe we are back to the same old witch-hunt even after Lee Sung Kyung. This just shows me that international platforms are as much to blame as knetizens. Park Min Young and her agency have already given their statements, but Koala chooses not to report it. If PMY does another LSK, pretty sure we will see a post on Koala blaming knetz and shedding crocodile tears. True hypocrisy!

• She isn’t found guilty by law but her moral is shady as hell

  • facts!!!!!

  • Why are her morals shady? She was dating him and he gave her money. If she didn't know how are her morals shady?

• I don't think she was innocent. She clearly knew a part of the story, her sister worked for him. Fortunately for her, he ex scammed and didn't do drugs.

  But now, it's in the past, if Dispatch talks about it, they should have new informations not just release what the Police said it was ok.

  • Your baseless thoughts don’t matter. It’s the evidence that matters. Your thoughts can lead to another suicide

    • I don't create anything. She dated a guy who already had issues with the justice before for the same things. She didn't just date him some days, it was a relationship important enough for her sister to work in his compagny. She got money on her account from him. Even if she didn't use it, it's weird.

      Now, like I said, the police didn't think it was important enough to get her prosecuted. So I don't think dispatch should release it now if they don't have anything new.

    • Well, she clearly didn't date him for his looks so it's all about the money. If he didn't lavish her with stolen money, she would not have been so easy to get. Of course, she probably didn't know he was a scammer as she would have wanted to date a real rich person and not a fake one.

  • @Sayaris, how do you know "she clearly knew a part of the story?" Proof? Can't you keep your baseless speculation to yourself? As imperfect human beings, we all have our own thoughts and moments of judgment that do not necessarily reflect the reality. It's fine to just keep that inner thinking to ourselves and do no harm to other human beings. But once you unzip your untrained mouth, whatever comes out of it may cause unexpected harm to another human being.

    At a workplace, we definitely avoid hiring employees who can't control their mouths to gossip ppl's private life. This type of personality is unwelcome at workplace.

    • I always liked PMY because she was smart.

      Her boyfriend already had issues with justice for the same doings. Her sister was working in one of his compagny.

      So, yeah, I think she knew a part.

      But I don't think she should be cancelled for it. She dated a bad guy, it was a mistake, let's move on.

• Her current drama is doing better than her project before the "scandal" . That's what matters ! Not every actor, after a scandal ,has a project and even more a successfull one . she couldn't ask for more .

• Ah, so all the suicides weren't enough.

  At what point will the death toll be before media say uh, maybe we shouldn't? Oh I know. There is no such limit.

• The accusatory side have to show proof

  • Koala you're being just as gross as the knetz that hound celebs to děath

  • But the accusatory side did show proof (you can see the proof on the original article from dispatch).
    PMY’s side has released an official statement in which her side has also admitted to receiving the money but that she has not used it for any personal related things.
    So by law, it is actually PMY’s timing to counter this proof and back her claims.
    1/ She could release the bank statements after the money was deposited and prove that none of the transactions that happened post-deposit are not related to personal spendings.
    2/ Release a statement that she truly did not know her ex partner was a scammer and truthfully return the amount deposited back as it was scammed money and there are victims out there (this would definitely prove her genuineness in this case, however it would contradicts with her initial statement last year that there was no money received, but i feel that it would be okay, since dispatch has released the proof that indeed there was money deposited just now; so we know there was a contradiction in last year statement by now anyway)

    Seeing how she posted on ig that “truth will prevail”, perhaps she is preparing the materials to counter all of these.
    It would be sad for kdrama fans to not see have another PMY rom-coms, she always picks these fun projects and grace our screen.
    She overcame last year bad press with a hit drama right now, so I really don’t think she would be cancelled.

• This is crazy. She is an actress. Her personal life is her decision.There seem to be people who like to throw stones.Is your life so clean? Have you never got involved with a jerk? Has every person you've ever dated been perfect? Have you never received gifts or money from the person you were dating? She broke up with him. She probably trusted her sister. I bet her sister never told her what she and the boyfriend were up to. Quit throwing stones. She has been investigated by the police. Why does she need to be judged by you? Go ahead and not like her and judge her all you want but remember what goes around comes around. You just go ahead and be as perfect as you think you are. I choose to enjoy PMY's dramas. I pray she can stay strong and doesn't let all these stones destroy her.

  • Your points are so well made. It's very unpleasant to read so much gossip/rumor about actors' private life and see netizens/readers comment like judges or the jury.

  • This! People are so quick to jump on hating bandwagon
