“Coach Shin Taeyong, thank you so much” Hundreds of Indonesian fans gathered … Meanwhile the Football Association remained until the end “There was no farewell gift”


Indonesian fans are expressing great regret over parting ways with Coach Shin Taeyong (55). Even just before he left Indonesia, hundreds of supporters were spotted following him.

Indonesian media Bolanet reported on the 27th (Korean time), “Coach Shin has returned to his home country, South Korea,” and “On the evening of the 26th, Coach Shin headed to Korea via Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang. Hundreds of supporters gathered to see him off.”

The media continued, “Coach Shin and his coaching staff are all set to leave for their respective activities. One of Coach Shin’s staff members, Yoo Jaehoon, who lives in Bali will also return to Korea.”

The Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) unexpectedly dismissed Coach Shin earlier this month. Despite leading Indonesia to its first-ever World Cup third qualification round, Coach Shin was surprisingly dismissed. According to Vietnamese media VN, Coach Shin was also quite surprised by PSSI’s decision. He told Indonesian media, “PSSI announced my dismissal at 9:40 AM. By noon, they announced my successor (Patrick Kluivert). This decision is very unreasonable, but I will accept it.”

It seems like five years of his dedication is going to waste now. Coach Shin took over Indonesia at the end of 2019 and led both the U-23 national team and the senior national team. In the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, he led the team to an unexpected fourth-place finish.

Under Coach Shin, the Indonesian senior national team achieved second place in the 2020 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup and reached the semifinals in the 2022 tournament. Additionally, under his leadership, Indonesia made history by advancing to the round of 16 in the 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup.

The decision was made by PSSI President Erick Thohir. According to Indonesian media VOI, Thohir explained that “Indonesian football is aiming for greater heights” as the reason for dismissing Coach Shin and appointing Kluivert.

PSSI remained disrespectful until the end. According to Indonesian media Bolasport, Yoo Jaehoon shared in an interview after meeting with the Minister of Sports, “I received a souvenir from the Minister before leaving for the airport. PSSI didn’t give me any souvenirs.”

MBC released a statement regarding the late Oh Yoanna’s workplace harassment allegations: “We will conduct an investigation if her family requests it.”

 

On the 28th, MBC released a statement regarding allegations that the late Oh Yoanna, an MBC weathercaster who passed away in September last year, suffered workplace harassment. MBC stated that they would launch an investigation only if it was requested by her family.

In the official statement, MBC said, “MBC currently does not have the will that was recently confirmed to be written by the late Oh Yoanna,” and added, “If her family requests an investigation based on the will that was recently discovered, MBC is prepared to begin an investigation in the shortest possible time.”

The previous day, Maeil Newspaper reported that the late weathercaster wrote a 17-page (2,750-character) will in the memo app on her phone, where she wrote in details the workplace harassment she experienced caused by two colleagues who are her seniors, before taking her own life.

The late Oh Yoanna, who became an MBC weathercaster in May 2021, reportedly became a target of workplace harassment starting in March the following year. Records showing that she informed several MBC officials about the harassment before her death, but it was reported that MBC did not conduct any investigations even after she passed away.

Regarding this matter, MBC stated, “The late Oh Yoanna, while working as a freelancer, never informed the relevant department or any managerial supervisors she worked with about her hardships.” They added, “If she had informed any MBC personnel about the issues, we ask that you let us know who that person is.”

MBC further stated, “If she had officially reported her hardships to the company at the time, or even unofficially informed responsible managers about her suffering in any way, the company would have naturally conducted an investigation.”

Oh Yoanna passed away in September last year at the age of 28. At the time, the cause of her death was not disclosed.

In this context, the People Power Party’s Media Special Committee released a statement, saying, “MBC is avoiding responsibility by claiming that the late Oh Yoanna never reported her hardships to the department related or any managerial supervisors and stating that they will conduct an investigation only if her family requests it. This clearly shows that MBC issued a statement reluctantly only because it became controversial.”

The committee added, “The People Power Party will uncover the truth behind this tragic incident and hold those responsible legally and morally accountable.”

Late Oh Yoanna’s will revealed … “Wear pretty clothes to my funeral like it’s a party”


It was belatedly revealed that MBC weathercaster Oh Yoanna, who passed away in September last year at the age of 28, had taken her own life, and part of her will has been disclosed.

According to a report by Maeil Newspaper on the 27th, the deceased, born in 1996, wrote a 17-page will in her phone’s memo app at around 1:05 AM on September 15 last year, right before taking her own life. The will included details alleging that she had been bullied by two fellow weathercasters.

Following the report, parts of Oh Yoanna’s will, saved on her phone, were shared and circulated in online communities.

The will stated: “Please hold my funeral outdoors, like a party. Everyone should wear dresses or pretty clothes, eat finger food, and send me off with smiles. And please don’t bury me anywhere. Cremate me and scatter my ashes into the sea. Any sea is fine, or a river is okay too.”

Oh Yoanna confessed, “Living is so, so exhausting. I hate not being understood even when I try to explain myself, and I hate not being able to love the work I love to my heart’s content. I’m so sick of the pain I feel in my back that feels like it’s splitting, and the pain in my chest that feels like it’s tearing apart.”

She continued, “I don’t like how the people who love me put themselves in inconvenience while trying to save me. Waiting for God’s timing is also too hard. (Cont’d) You said all human relationships are like that, right? Keep living that way, deleting uncomfortable relationships as you go.”

The omitted parts of the will are assumed to mention individuals suspected to be perpetrators.

It has been reported that the deceased, who was hired as an MBC weathercaster in May 2021, became a target of bullying starting in March the following year.

Fellow weathercasters reportedly shifted blame onto her for mistakes they made, called her back to the office after she had already gone home, claiming she ‘needed to be taught,’ or prevented her from leaving work.

When she was invited to appear on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block in 2022, they allegedly asked, “What could you possibly say there?” and criticized her skills for quite a long time.

Before her death, she informed four MBC staff members about the bullying, but it is said that MBC took no action, sparking controversy. MBC has yet to release a statement regarding this matter.

tvN 'Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born' reportedly faced a deficit despite achieving 16% viewer ratings


Despite surpassing a 10% viewer rating, 'Jeongnyeon: The Star is Born' still experienced loss. Initially, a total production cost of 336 Billion KRWwas agreed upon with Studio Dragon, but the production costs skyrocketed due to extensive efforts to focus on the historical scenes.

The main character, Kim Taeri, received over 300 M KRW per episode. Similar to the fee Kim Soohyun received when he starred in 'Queen of Tears. While actresses usually earn less than actors, Kim Taeri earned her pay through her popularity. Her agency, Management mmm, also played a part in the production from the planning stage.

Although the drama was simultaneously released on Disney+, the 12-episode format and historical genre made it less profitable. While CJ ENM and Studio Dragon officials claimed to have recovered the production costs, rumors in the industry suggested otherwise. It's also rumored that Disney+ suffered significant losses due to this drama. With MBC filing a lawsuit against the production company, the losses are expected to increase.

It seems that even high viewer ratings can't cover the high production costs for TV dramas...

theqoo 

-Given this situation, it makes sense why episode counts are decreasing.

-Why not just reduce actors' fees?

-Can’t they cut down the actors' fees?ㅠㅠㅠ

-300 M KRW per episode? That's crazy.

-Unless all the actors agree to lower their salaries, the quality of dramas will gradually decline and eventually lead to the failure of the Korean drama industry.

-Kim Taeri alone took 10% of the total production cost? Whoa...

-300 M KRW per episode?? Is this confirmed?

-They should’ve at least made a good ending then. It's funny how they expected success when they ruined the original work.

-I'm glad I didn't watch it.

-The Korean drama industry is going to collapse because of the skyrocketing production costs caused by actors fees...

-Kim Taeri and Kim Soohyun are earning 300 M KRW per episode? That's too much. No wonder they're losing money.

-That's a lot of money... Is her acting even worth 300 M KRW per episode?

-If Kim Taeri was too expensive for them, they shouldn’t have cast her in the first place... This deficit could've been avoided...

Actress Ha Yully shared her thoughts as 'The Tale of Lady Ok' came to an end.

The JTBC drama, which concluded on the 26th, is a drama that follows the intense survival story of a con artist Ok Taeyoung (played by Im Jiyeon), whose name, status, and even husband are all fake, and Cheon Seunghwi (played by Choo Youngwoo), who risked his life to protect her.

Amidst this, through her agency, Starhaus Entertainment, Ha Yully shared her thoughts.

She shared, "I would like to sincerely thank all the viewers who watched and loved 'The Tale of Lady Ok.' When I first met Sohye, I was worried about whether I could portray her well, but thanks to the director and writer who believed in me and encouraged me, I gained the courage to take on the role. I'm also deeply grateful to the staff and senior actors who helped me bring out the charm in Sohye, despite being a despicable and malicious character."

She continued, "I would like to thank everyone who worked hard on the filming from the cold winter to the hot summer." Lastly, she added, "I was really happy to play the role of Sohye. I learned a lot of things during the filming. I will greet you with a more matured appearance in the future. Happy New Year." Ha Yully captured the public's attention with her portrayal of Kim Sohye.

After being humiliated by Gu Deok, she earned the infamous nickname 'Poop Sohye', and struggled to find a suitable marriage partner. Filled with anger and a desire for revenge, she transformed into a vengeful person. In order to find Gu Deok who had run away, Sohye stopped at nothing, raising the conflict of the drama and adding to its excitement.

Ha Yully perfectly captured the tension while portraying Kim Sohye's character.

Pledis (HYBE) quietly replaced the maliciously distorted photos without giving any feedback

 

Guys, I don’t think we should just laugh this off. For the purpose of preventing screenshot, this feels too much. The group photos are pixelated down to the point where their faces are unrecognizable. The official sales notice also uses the same pictures, but in the normal, unedited version. It seems like there was a malicious intention behind this... 

You re-edited the pictures and posted them again. Yet some members' faces are still distorted?ㅋㅋ Do you think we're stupid?

 

They made the members' faces look weird in the pre-order notice, where fans don't usually pay much attention. But when it went viral, they deleted the notice and quietly posted a new one. This has been happening since 2 years ago. If fans hadn't spoken up, they would've continued doing this. 

Pledis, HYBE, do you not even do reviews before posting anything? Did you actually give these pictures an approval to be posted? You've distorted the artists' faces just because they look small in the picture. Are you out of your minds? 

theqoo

-The level of creepiness is beyond my imagination...

-This is giving me chills.

-This is really strange. If they wanted to prevent people from taking screenshots, they could've just blurred the entire image, not editing each person's face like that. That's odd.

-What's wrong with this company?

-If this wasn't intentional, how else can it bee explained? They must've manually edited each face separately.

-This is giving me chills... This is no different from the way haters usually edit idols' faces in a weird way to mock them.

-HYBE is seriously weird.......

-Whoa.... Who's the person in charge? Are they a hater or what??

-Don't you find this strange? Faces are the most important thing for idols. Who would like it if their faces were distorted like that?

-I think there might be a hater among the staff.

-This is giving me chills... Are they crazy??

-They have zero basic respect for the artists. This is very psycopath-like of them.

-This is so f*cking scary.

-They seriously need to explain in detail why this was posted like this.

-Typical HYBE behavior, so I’m not even surprised anymoreㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
