When it was announced early last year that C-ent was remaking the critically acclaimed K-drama My Ahjusshi (My Mister) I was one of the many who asked “why?” since the OG was still relatively recent and also pretty much perfect. But what a difference context and situation changing makes, with the death of My Ahjusshi male lead Lee Seon Kyun … Continue reading →
I’ll seen this movie before and it certainly feels like major ass covering. The Anti-corruption division of a major Seoul police department has done a raid and search of the offices of tabloid Dispatch as well as the drug division of another police department, the one that was in charge of the original drug use and blackmail investigation into now … Continue reading →
So I don’t think these folks are virtue signaling or trying to look good but I do think the end result will still never feel satisfactory or get justice for the wronged. South Korea top director Bong Joon Ho of Parasite and many more award winning movie fame held a press conference accompanied by other industry veterans in the acting, … Continue reading →
So this story if true sounds so plausible and probably happens often to rich and powerful men who have something he wants to keep from becoming public. K-ent is reporting on the alleged blackmail that resulted in Lee Seon Kyun‘s alleged drug use coming to light in early October and subsequently the text messages between him and the bar Madam. … Continue reading →
As news swirls and the shock starts to wear off with the passing of top Korean actor Lee Seon Kyun, hopefully the family can grieve in peace and start to make sense of this senseless event.

K-ent is still digesting the news of award winning K-actor Lee Seon Kyun‘s suicide death a day ago on December 28th and I cannot even fathom what his family and close friends are experiencing in pain.

I audibly gasped and am absolutely in total shock hearing this news. This morning December 27th in Seoul K-actor Lee Seon Kyun was found by police unresponsive in his car. Early news reports just said he was unconscious when found but shortly thereafter police confirmed he had passed away. He was 48 years old and leaves behind his wife actress … Continue reading →
I still find it jarring to see K-actor Lee Seon Kyun with K-pop star G-Dragon in the same frame and in the same news articles. The two have been under investigation for illegal drug use for the last two months since news broke of Lee Seon Kyun being blackmailed for illegal drug use leading to a police investigation. The latest … Continue reading →
I wish people would really think about the consequences before doing something, in South Korea doing drugs remains not just illegal but morally unacceptable to the majority of the populace.
