There’s a two pronged aspect to the huge legal investigation currently enveloping singer-actor Park Yoochun. The material issue is that he is accused of raping four different women, and the sidebar issue is the tittering salacious detail that each allegation took place in a bathroom so Yoochun may have a bathroom fetish.

I love Three Meals a Day, its a reality show that conceptually shouldn’t work because it sounds so boring, yet with the right cast, guest stars, and deft directing the entire endeavor comes off as a warm soothing meal for the jaded soul.
