It’s been a few days and the public attention has dropped from 100000000% to like 90% heh.

I don’t think mega TW-singer/actor Show Luo will have any ramifications from this cheating on his long time now ex-girlfriend Grace Chow scandal. Ultimately he just cheated on her literally every day and in multitude of ways but it’s not a crime and for some reason no one in TW-ent seems surprised. Guess his reputation was fairly trashy behind the … Continue reading →

Person in blue uniform and cap.

This was one military enlistment that I was hoping wouldn’t end, and certainly was quite disappointed that it took on the same scandal-plagued enlistment of another idol-actor Kim Hyun Joong. Fans and media were out in force for the discharge of Park Yoochun after serving his military enlistment in the police unit. His enlistment took a crazy detour after he … Continue reading →

How serious you think of the recent drug scandal with T.O.P. (Choi Seung Hyun) of Big Bang likely hinges on a variety of factors. Whether you’re a T.O.P. and/or Big Bang fan, whether you think smoking pot is none of your business or a criminal offense, and whether you think the transgression is even worse because he’s a celebrity who … Continue reading →
