Can C-ent calm the f*&k down with all these scandals and reveals and whatnot.

A day after Li Yi Feng‘s arrest and news about solicitation another C-actor is caught up in rumors … Continue reading →
The fallout from the Li Yi Feng solicitation of prostitution arrest is still reverberating in C-ent. Overnight he lost all 13 of his endorsement deals and the next day workers were spotted in store windows, on subway platforms, and on buildings removing any billboard or poster with him on it.

There is a Chinese saying “If you know/knew what will happen, why act like that back then?” (早知如此 何必当初), and it tells people that one should know the consequences will come of actions and yet people still misbehave.

Seo Ye Ji may have been pulled into the conflict between Kim Jung Hyun and his current agency which he is trying to leave, and therefore text messages … Continue reading →
