    I’ve literally spent the last 3 weeks watching 2 days 1 night + HCCC BTS + interviews and the ones close to him really only have good things to say about him. So those and also gut feeling tell me that it can’t be him in that damn article. im sure that reporter just wants to mess with his success and those brands that pulled out are clearly just sticking with him for the popularity and not for who he is 😒

      Same here. I just caught up to 2D1N’s most recent episode today. Just as I clicked next, I saw the comments…Honestly he’s not my favorite on 2D1N but I can’t reconcile people’s comments about him and this scandal. I really hope his name was justly falsely associated with this scandal.

      Awww peach..
      1. You can’t possibly judge a character on the other side of the screen, cos you’re never sure what’s being presented to you is genuine, not even in ‘reality’ shows.
      2. Most brands are 100% in it for the money, so it’s not a shocker once someone’s image tanks they bail. They need to protect their business too.

      Having said that, i’m waiting for the development of this. I’ve never been bothered by a celeb’s scandal before but this is one that i really hope is not true 😢

        you have a point that I can’t possibly fully know KSH through his shows etc, but i believe that we do see glimpses of their real selves in these reality shows/BTS otherwise, that’s such a tough act. And it wouldn’t last.

          I used to really like Seungri of BIGBANG and really enjoyed him in variety shows back then. I was terribly disappointed when the Burning Sun issue blew up as many of the things that he was accused with are just criminal.

          I think we can never know these celebrities from everything that we see in public. They could be psychos or just damn good actors onscreen. Reality shows or variety shows still sort of operate on a “narrative” so I wouldn’t really trust what we see.

          Those accusations against KSH are pretty damning, if true. He is also currently losing endorsements left and right, immediately after the end of a highly successful drama.

        my fangirl heart has never been this anxious before. I want it to be not him, but it can’t be good if they’re taking long to deny it 😢

    I don’t want it to be true, but I’ve been around long enough to know his agency taking a day to put out a statement only to say they are still confirming facts is not a good sign. Brands are bailing, you deny, deny, deny unless there is truth to the accusations.

    That said, I hate scandals involving people’s private lives. Emotions run high. The truth is usually complicated.

    Don’t blame yourself for judgement of character (whether true or not) – even people you know in real life can really surprise/shock you, let alone people you only know from a screen.

    It’s the timing of stuff like this that I find reprehensible. True or not, it’s timed to create the most possible damage.

    It doesn’t mean the whole story is necessary false or true.

    I am not a huge fan of him but there is always two sides to every story. What we are hearing from one side might look really really bad but maybe he could have his reasons. Who knows? I just find it really distasteful to ‘cancel’ someone for their personal business. As long as someone hasn’t broken the law.

    Hey, I feel the same as you. *Sends virtual hugs* 😊 This is like Jisoo all over again, an actor I used to like before his bullying scandal. However, unlike Jisoo, I am unable to easily move on from KSH and keep hoping it’ll turn out to be false, maybe because

    1. The effect of his latest onscreen “Du Shik” personna is still lingering on my mind.
    2. I am weekly watching 2D1N and am feel emotionally attached.
    3. His scandal is more of a personal incident, in which fans, IMO, shouldn’t have much of a saying. I am not saying what he did is right, but this incident isn’t a collective social responsibility.

    There is limit to the amount of wrong that one can condemn or not, but what we as fans can hope is that, if it turns out to be true, other stars can learn from this and be self aware of their doings.

    you and me both 😥😥😥
    and this is not my first heartbreak due to my fave. So imagine how I’m feeling right now. I thought after the last one I’m wiser but…. dang it. I’m angry at myself to be so affected by this.
    I watched him from his debut drama and took my time and I thought he is decent enough to follow but here we are now
