The Chinese have been calling K-actor Yoo Ah In‘s drug use arrest scandal the case of someone holding a winning hand and making a terrible bet with it. That sounds about right because his career was cemented at the top of Chungmuro among his age group and he could even do K-dramas whenever he felt like it, but with this … Continue reading →

I wish Yoo Ah In‘s drug use scandal and investigation only impacted him but alas there is such collateral damage with it. He had multiple movies and dramas already filmed scheduled to be released and as such the production companies have to decide how to salvage the situation.

I don’t know what kind of (bad) luck for the Netflix movie The Match to be now stuck in this frustrating position. The period movie chronicling an epic Go match between veteran Lee Byung Hun and youth prodigy Yoo Ah In was actually filmed at the end of 2020 and wrapped in early 2021 but in the two years since … Continue reading →

So it looks like Netflix is the first production company to take action against Yoo Ah In after his drug abuse scandal came to light. The streaming giant has announced that actor Kim Sung Cheol, currently one of the three stage Shakespeares cavorting around writing plays and falling in love, will be replacing Yoo Ah In but playing the same … Continue reading →

I was thinking that Yoo Ah In‘s arrest and investigation into propofol abuse was probably the wake up call he needed but now I think it probably saved his life.

I think the situation getting more serious for K-actor Yoo Ah In is hopefully what can get him help for the long run, because propofol abuse is a really serious medical misconduct.

This is so been there done that in C-ent, the moment a scandal breaks the star is dropped like a hot potato by brands AND on the hook thereafter for penalties stemming from breach of contract with the image and morality clause.

Group of people in traditional Korean attire.

I thought Sungkyunkwan Scandal was basically un-re-watchable after the Park Yoochun toilet scandal, and even more so with his drug arrest and myriad additional subsequent scandals after. But now K-netizens are saying its unfathomable levels of un-re-watchable with only one remaining non-scandal ridden star among the four leads namely Song Joong Ki. With Yoo Ah In‘s propofol investigation and Park … Continue reading →
