-No way, he's doing even better than before the scandal...

-Even if I don't skip them, I feel like most of them will flop.

-They really go easy on male actors; I'll just boycott them.

-The female lead in 'In the Net' suits the role well, but the male lead doesn't match the character.

-Are there really no other actors?

-They all seem interesting.

-Why do they keep giving him roles...

-Oh no, Suzy, please don't.

-It's not like there aren't other actors who could replace him...

-Wow, I didn't even know he was still active. Definitely not going to watch.

-A growing list of shows I won't be watching.

-Wow, he's really busy.

-Whoa, he's got a lot of upcoming projects.

Kim Seonho Reunites with Suzy After 4 Years… Cast as Male Lead in 'Delusion'

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/421/0007730690

Actor Kim Seonho is in discussions after receiving an offer to play the male lead in director Han Jae-rim's 'Delusion.'

According to News1's investigation on the 14th, Suzy has been cast as the female lead in 'Delusion,' and Kim Seonho is being considered as her co-star. Kim Seonho is expected to play the character Yoon Yiho, a painter who is the protagonist and Suzy's counterpart.

Kim Seonho and Suzy previously worked together in the 2020 tvN drama 'Start-Up.'

'Delusion' is set in Gyeongseong in 1935 and Shanghai in the 1800s, and it follows the mysterious events that unfold as painter Yoon Yiho is commissioned to paint a portrait of the captivating vampire woman Song Junghwa, whose true identity is gradually revealed over time. The series is based on a webtoon of the same title and is currently in the planning stages for production.

'Delusion' had previously garnered attention when Ryu Junyeol and Han Sohee were considered for the lead roles. However, due to controversy over their relationship and breakup, both actors decided not to participate.

Meanwhile, 'Delusion' plans to finalize its cast and begin filming within this year.

theqoo

-Why do people like Kim Seonho so much? There are plenty of male actors out there. It's suspicious how easily he gets cast.

-Did Suzy not know...?

-Why do they keep casting him?? As if nothing happened? He's not even particularly outstanding; I really don't understand.

-Unbelievable.

-Male celebrities can really make an easy comeback whenever they want...

-I dislike him more than Ryu Junyeol.

-🤷‍♀️ There are so many things I don't understand about this industry.

-This is so disappointing.

-I was hoping for Wi Hajoon since he seemed like he would have good chemistry with Suzy. What a shame.

-Suzy alone would generate enough buzz, so why not look for a rising star...

-I really don’t like this. Are there really no other actors? I don’t get it.

-Poor Suzy...

-Sigh....

-There are so many actors out there.

BTS Suga's Another Lie ... Intoxication Test Conducted on Sidewalk, Not in Front of His Home

 

by Journalist Lee Seunghoon

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/108/0003258027

 Suga’s lies have been exposed once again. On the 13th, Yonhap News TV revealed CCTV footage of Suga's drunk driving incident through an exclusive report titled “BTS’s Suga Drunk and Driving on Sidewalk… Accident Captured on CCTV.”

The CCTV footage shows Suga, on an electric scooter, riding on the sidewalk of a street in Hannam-dong, Yongsan District, Seoul, around 11:10 PM on the 6th. Suga then crashes into a curb and falls over, after which he is found by patrolling police officers and subjected to a breathalyzer test on the scene. His blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was 0.227%, indicating severe intoxication, which is far higher than the standard for revocation of license of 0.08%.

Previously, on the 7th, Suga had posted on the fan community platform Weverse, stating, “After drinking at a dinner party last night, I rode an electric kickboard home. I did not realize that electric kickboards cannot be used under intoxication and violated traffic laws. I fell over while stopping the kickboard in front of my house, and since there were police officers around, they conducted a breathalyzer test, which resulted in license revocation and a fine.”

However, according to CCTV footage released by JTBC on the same day, Suga was riding an electric scooter, not an electric kickboard, on the road in Hannam-dong. Suga, who attempted to downplay the incident by calling the electric scooter a kickboard, was embroiled in another controversy over his lies as the second CCTV showed him undergoing the intoxication test on the sidewalk, not in front of his home.

When discovered by the police, Suga reportedly stated that he “had a beer and drove briefly.”

If his BAC exceeds 0.2%, he will be subject to aggravated punishment. And if he was found guilty, he has the potential to be sentenced to imprisonment from 2 to 5 years or a fine of up to 20 million won.

-He still hasn’t left his group? Just retire already, I’m so sick of this.

-He should retire.

-Is he homeless or what?

-Maybe because of his past scandals, he thinks he can just lie and get away with it.

-OT6

-Pathetic... If he had just apologized honestly from the start, it wouldn’t have been this bad.

-He should just retire; it’s too serious.

-He should have just said he was completely drunk and didn’t remember. Making a half-hearted lie in the apology only leads to more criticism.

-Given that there’s been no action so far, it seems like he’s just going to drag it out and stays in his group.

-Really the worst.

-Typical of HYBE.

-Caught red-handed.

-I didn't realize it was this bad.

-What a funny guy.

-The problem is the lies.

Former ADOR Employee: "Min Heejin's Deception is Infuriating"

by Journalist Jang Inyoung

https://m.entertain.naver.com/article/311/0001760149

 B shared her reaction to Min Heejin's statement posted on social media, recalling how they missed the initial storm of posts. "I didn’t see Min Heejin's Instagram story in real time. I came home late after working overtime and went to bed without checking my phone. I wasn't even following Min Heejin, so I found out about it from messages from others. They told me to see if I gave her permission to post the Kakao Talk messages she posted and whether the content of the messages seemed off."

"I spent the entire morning stressed and crying. I had affection for both Min Heejin and the ADOR organization. I enjoyed ironing Min Heejin's training clothes when we were on business trips. I was even pleased to help with various tasks at the 'Golden Disc Awards' event. I felt proud to be able to help Min Heejin and worked sincerely for years. However, it’s upsetting how a single comment from her turned me into a mad person and how she trampled on me. While Min Heejin makes every effort to protect her career and insists that illegal messages are unacceptable, does that mean such things are an exception for me? I was genuinely moved to tears."

Earlier, when Min Heejin was criticized for siding with A and ignoring the victim, B, during the ADOR sexual harassment case, she claimed this was a "distortion." She also said her involvement and mediation led to a resolution of the case, which B found offensive.

B stated, "From my perspective, it is unreasonable for her to call it 'mediation' in the first place. The mediation between A and me happened only after I left and sent Min Heejin a message. The term 'attempt' is more accurate. Although she made efforts, when the incident (the sexual harassment the executive did) occurred, Min Heejin protected the executive and influenced the internal investigation."

A media outlet revealed a chat room where Min Heejin and A exchanged derogatory remarks targeting B, which caused controversy. B commented, "It is true that they made insults directed at me and talked about me behind my back. It’s clear that Min Heejin defended A and influenced the internal investigation. In order to neutralize my report, I gathered evidence and protested to HYBE. Min Heejin was far from a mediator."

B added, "I'm really upset about the Kakao Talk messages she posted. It shows how Min Heejin usually talks in real life. While she doesn’t curse in front of employees, she often uses such language when gossiping about third parties."

After investigating B's report, HYBE concluded that (sexual harassment) complaint that was "difficult to determine if it reached the level of disciplinary action." However, they recommended Min Heejin give a "stern warning" to A since his actions were inappropriate. This is also mentioned in B’s statement.

B explained, "HYBE recommended a 'stern warning' for A, which is within Min Heejin's authority. However Min Heejin rejected this, even refusing to warn A." B rejected A's offer of a new position, saying, "Facing the perpetrator was too difficult. It was a position I had no choice but to refuse."

Regarding the claim that Min Heejin cleared up misunderstandings with A, B said, "For office workers, it's rare to refuse reconciliation when a boss and representative ask. It’s upsetting and disheartening that Min Heejin distorted these issues in her explanation."

Realizing that the investigation into the sexual harassment case had not been conducted properly since she left ADOR, B said, "When the conflict between HYBE and Min Heejin resurfaced in April, I was the subject of the investigation because I was a former ADOR employee who had worked closely with the management. I was shocked to learn that the process of handling the report was unfair and that it was not even properly investigated, and that Min Heejin even gossiped about me. I wanted to live quietly and thought that even if it was publicized, it would only result in an apology from the two parties. It was out of loyalty to the ADOR organization, Min Heejin, and A."

-As an employee myself, this is really heartbreaking.

-Stay strongㅠㅠㅠ

-Turns out that Min Heejin is like HYBE to someone...

-Ah.. She didn’t think of them as colleagues.. and didn’t care for them as a superior or representative.. cursing at artists and employees... what kind of person is this;;

-Wow... I hope the victim stays strong.

-Poor victim... It’s tragic.

-If she had apologized to the victim from the start, it would have been fine, but instead, she’s talking about irrelevant matters.

-I hope the victim will receive a proper apology.

-It seems Min Heejin is totally siding with A (the perpetrator)...

-I hope the victim stays strong and gets the results she wishes for.

-It's really heartbreaking to hear this.

-I hope the victim gets through this and finds peace.

-Min Heejin’s attitude is really bad.

-No matter what, the fact that Min Heejin cursed at employees and artists is unforgivable.

-So heartbreaking... Please stay strong.

Min Heejin Remains Silent on Harassment Cover-Up Controversy for 6 Days Despite Victim’s Disclosure

Min Heejin, CEO of ADOR, has maintained silence for six days amid ongoing controversy over allegations of covering up a sexual harassment incident within the company, despite the victim’s revelations.

On August 8, B, a former ADOR employee, disclosed on their personal account that Min Heejin’s statement posted on July 31 included derogatory terms like "bitch" and "mentally ill" to refer to B, who was mentioned as a victim in the context of the harassment and Min Heejin’s attempts to cover it up.

B stated, "Min Heejin, who has shielded the perpetrator, A, and created chaos with insults and verbal abuse against lower-level employees, has used the pretext of revealing her grievances to publicly disclose the former employee's private messages without consent or understanding. It’s unacceptable that Min Heejin continues to spread falsehoods, claiming that the target of her insults was not me and that the messages were edited."

B also claimed, "I heard that Min Heejin even refused to take stern action against A. I recently learned that from the day I reported the issue, Min Heejin actively claimed A’s innocence throughout the investigation and subjected me to extreme insults like ‘crazy bitch’ and ‘insulted life.’ It’s disheartening as a loyal employee to be portrayed as someone who ‘is so bad at work,' 'whines and causes trouble,' and 'left the company before getting fired' just to invalidate my complaint. Min Heejin shared the complaint details with A in real time, proposed and reviewed A’s objections, and was thoroughly aligned with the perpetrator."

B has urged for a sincere apology from Min Heejin and A, but Min Heejin has remained silent for the past six days. Attention is now focused on whether Min Heejin will provide a second official statement before her scheduled appearance at the '2024 Hyundai Card DaVinci Motel' talk event in Itaewon, Seoul on September 27.

-It’s chilling to see someone who pretended to be a victim behaving the same way towards their employees...

-Isn’t this more than just a matter of an apology?

-There are still a lot of comments about Min Heejin and HYBE, but there’s barely any interest in this issue... The selective blindness is really severe.

-It’s hilarious how someone who used to fiercely argue is now staying silent. It’s so funny.

-It’s really funny how people who defended Min Heejin and supported her are now pretending they didn’t see this news. Hilarious.

-I’m not interested in the HYBE and Min Heejin conflict. What I find most unfortunate is that a powerless woman had to leave the company without properly expressing her grievances about the injustice she suffered.

-I’m shocked by people’s reactions. Why is there so little interest in this matter? Isn’t this exactly a case where a company representative is mistreating a powerless female employee?

-Why is it only quiet at times like this?

-It’s funny how quiet it is here.

-If the executive apologized, that means they acknowledged it was true. What is Min Heejin even doing…?

-Even after all this, Min’s supporters will still find excuses and cheer for her.

-HYBE was right from the beginning.

-The third one is the worst.

-The executive apologized, so why is Min Heejin acting like this? Is it so hard to apologize when you’ve done something wrong?

-The person involved acknowledged it and even apologized, so what’s Min Heejin doing?

-Min Heejin is the worst…

-She’s handling this worse than HYBE.

-She’s becoming as bad as those she once criticized

-I knew something was off when she started working with a shaman from the beginning. People were praising her just because she was against HYBE...
