Recent Pictures of Kanye and His Wife, Bianca Censori

 





-Why is she dressed like that...ㅠㅠ

-Kanye's wife seems to be uncomfortable dressing like that, judging by the way she always tries to cover up herself. I really have no idea why she dresses like that...

-She always looks uncomfortable in every picture of her I see...

-Is that a real cat or just a doll?

-Look at Kanye dresses himself warmly and comfortably in the middle of all that...

-The woman doesn't look happy at all. At least Kim looks happy when she dresses like that. 

-She looks so uncomfortable that I feel uncomfortable as well just by looking at these pictures...

-Kanye needs to realize that women are not accessories...

-From what I know, that's not how she usually dresses. Kanye, you b*st*rd. Did he gaslight her?

-I bet Kanye forces, even threatens, her to dress like that. If she dressed like that on her own will, she wouldn't look that uncomfortable. 

-I feel bad for her. She always tries to cover up herself and looks uncomfortable.

An Elementary School Teacher Tried to Sexually Assault His Student during Sexual Harassment Counseling

CW: Sexual assault

A: Why did you do this to me? Can't you at least apologize? I really haven't come to my senses, that's why. 

Park: I made a big mistake yesterday. It seems even more regrettable to express it recklessly. Even thinking about it makes me feel so pathetic and incapable. I don't know what to say myself. 

 Seoul Jongno Police Station revealed that they are currently investigating allegations of attempted sexual assault against an elementary school teacher, Park, based on a complaint filed by a 26 year old, A. According to the complaint, Park allegedly lured A to a motel last month while pretending to give counseling about A's previous sexual harassment and sexual assault experience. 

Previously, A reported being molested by Moon, a 30-year-old acquaintance she met at a church. Moon, an academy instructor in Nowon-gu, had allegedly embraced A from behind, stating, "It's been a while since I held a woman." A searched counseling for this incident, only to face another case of sexual assault. Both Park and Moon are identified as baptized Catholics. 

Park is a homeroom teacher at an elementary school in Siheung, Gyeonggi Province. Park also serves as the director of the Human Rights and Daily Life department, addressing students' concerns related to sexuality and human right. Park is recognized as an educational influencer, managing a Facebook channel with over 5,000 followers. The interaction between A and Park started through social media. Right now, Park is still teaching, and regarding potential disciplinary actions, a representative from the school he works at mentioned that they would assess options upon receiving guidance from education authorities, stating, "This is the first case of sexual assault in our school and we are closely monitoring it."

Both Park and Moon have confessed to most of the charges. Park's legal representative stated, "It is true that Park and A did not have such a deep relationship to engage in sexual relations by mutual agreement. Park now has deactivated his personal social media accounts and will make efforts for resolution." While Moon expressed, "I am working to find a resolution."

On the other hand, A revealed, "Initially, both Park and Moon resisted admitting guilt. They only began to acknowledge the facts after I posted details of the incidents on social media. It is hard for me to know that, despite committing such wrong-doings, they are still portrayed as 'exemplary educators' by those around them."

theqoo

-What surprises me the most is the fact that I wasn't even shocked to read this news. Shouldn't we strengthen the punishment for things like this?

-I'm throwing up for real...

-Please reveal their identities

-Park deactivated his personal social media accounts to show that he is reflecting on his wrong-doings?? What kind of bullshit is that?? 

-Their genitals must be attached to their brains... Sexually assaulting a woman who seeks counseling after experiencing a sexual assault???

-What did I just read??

-So deactivating personal social media accounts means reflecting now?? What the f*ckㅋㅋ

-Korean men

-Park is still actively teaching at school?? Does that even make any sense??

-These men are not better than animals...

T-ARA's ex-member Areum announces divorce and remarriage on the same day... Sending away her child for a quick divorce

 Former T-ARA's member, Areum, recently announced both her divorce and remarriage on the same day. Her husband expresses the intention to proceed with legal action. Additionally, she also revealed that her children are currently with her husband.

On the 10th, Areum stated, "I have found someone I want to be with forever. A person so precious, that I hesitated to reveal. After considering each other's thoughts, we have decided to confidently announce our love that began so genuinely, like an aurora," announcing her divorce and remarriage after four years of marriage. 

Areum mentioned that she is currently in the process of divorcing her husband, who stated, "We are still in the midst of legal proceedings. I have endured a great deal of pain, even before knowing the person that she loves. I have a lot of evidence to show, but I decided not to because of my children. I have endured provocations with disrespectful words until the end. However, I believe that as long as I remain upright, it will be enough."

Areum also added, "We will be registering our marriage as soon as the legal proceedings are over. We have promised to get married. We haven't finalized our divorce yet. It has been legally pending for several years, but it's not because we haven't wanted to. I think there's no need for a lengthy explanation."

Areum reassured, "Precedents don't matter. What's important is the future. No need to worry. Those who leave malicious comments without knowing the full story will face legal consequences," urging for support rather than criticism as she announces the start of a new life. 

While many support Areum's decision to divorce and remarry after four years, there are concerns about publicly revealing a new partner while the divorce is still in process, as this could potentially complicate the divorce proceedings. 

Areum shared details about her current situation. When a netizen asked, "Are you raising both of your sons?"Areum responded, "I sent the children away today for a quick agreement. However, it's a difficult situation as he insists on going to court without reaching an agreement." Despite Areum's willingness to forgo custody rights and seek a quick divorce, her husband maintains a position of pursuing legal action. It appears that the divorce process may take more time.

Meanwhile, Areum joined T-ARA in July 2012 but left the group in July the following year. She appeared on KBS 2 'Idol Rebooting Project: The Unit' in 2017 and recently participated in JTBC 'Sing Again 3'. Areum previously married a non-celebrity in 2019 and gave birth to two sons. Last year, she revealed her struggles with her marriage and depression on TVing 'Between Marriage and Divorce'.

theqoo

-She's basically saying that she had already separated with her husband a few years ago. Then why did they have another child? I feel sorry for their child...

-I'm at loss for words... Why did they decide to have another child?

-??? The divorce has been legally pending for several years. Then why did they have another child last year...?

-?? I had to read the article several times because I had a hard time processing the whole news. I have come to the conclusion that she cheated on her husband.

-I have a lot to say, but I choose to stay silent...

-I noticed that she has always seemed a bit unstable since she first joined T-ARA... I mean, look at the way she talks

-Does she not think of her child?? She must be crazy for men...

-I don't think she has dated her new partner for more than a few months now... Is he truly worth sacrificing her relationship with her child?

-She should've talked with her lawyer first before posting that...

-She's at the age where she should know best that love is not everything... I feel bad for her child...

-I heard that her second son just turned one... Why did she choose to have another child with her husband?

-What is happening? I don't understand...

-If I were her husband, I'd do the same thing. She sent her child away for a quick divorce?

-I think I know what International fans are trying to point outㅋㅋㅋㅋ
