i kinda feel bad for oedipus b/c everyone assumes he chose to fuck his mom when in fact he went out of his way to avoid it. he left his hometown and distanced himself from his parents because he was afraid he would somehow get tricked into fucking his mom. everything could have been avoided if his adopted parents told him he was adopted.

“South Korea’s entertainment industry is a cultural juggernaut that has allowed the East Asian nation to punch well above its weight in terms of global soft power.
But a digital sex scandal that police say involves some of K-Pop’s biggest stars has rocked the K-Pop world, leaving it facing a reckoning from which some believe it might not recover.”
#i think it'll recover and i'll be disappointed#it's true though#i find it difficult even to just sit back and watch dramas in my free time#because of this shit show going down

so, does stanning 檀健次 (tan jianci) involve supporting all the upcoming yu zheng dramas (two so far!)?? it’s not his fault that wu xiubo is a scumbag and he definitely needed to switch acting agencies/find productions to act in, but...i just wish he had more options??
#he's so underrated#and it's been a while since i felt so protective of a ~male celebrity~#again i wish people would see his talent!#and let him choose good projects#(taa/gtrd are def good productions but it's obvious why he had to leave...*sighs*)#i guess he realized that tangren wasn't gonna be ideal for him either#but whether tangren > yu zheng#or yu zheng > tangren#is actually much harder to realize#tan jianci#檀健次#cdrama

you were a fan of BIGBANG?
*sighs* Yes, BIGBANG was the k-pop group that got me into the genre. I enjoy their music, and I hope nothing but the best for Jiyong, Seunghyun, Taeyang, and Daesung.
(Wikipedia literally says it’s 4 members. 5-1 = 4. Basic math.)

Seungri masterpost with timeline (updated 3/11/19)
Note: Most of these links are from Soompi, Koreaboo, Reddit and similar sites so do with that what you will. I cannot use Naver/Dispatch/etc because I do not speak Korean so this is the best I can offer. This list of links is for fans who have not kept up with the Seungri/Burning Sun scandal from the beginning and need some help catching up. I have provided basic summaries but please do your own reading and form your own informed opinions.
1/28/19 – MBC’s News Desk released CCTV footage of a man (Mr. Kim) being beaten by security guards at Burning Sun. The man claimed that he was trying to protect a woman who had approached him for help, saying she’d been sexually assaulted. When he tried to go to security about it, he was thrown out of the club and beaten by security guards and people who “seemed like” their friends. When the police arrived and spoke to Burning Sun’s security, the man was arrested for “obstruction of business.” (This happened in 2018.)
1/30/19 – A video of a woman being sexually assaulted inside a club bathroom began making its way around the internet. An employee at the club confirmed that it was, in fact, the bathroom attached to a VIP room at Burning Sun.
1/31/19 – YG himself made a statement about Burning Sun and spoke about how Seungri was in the process of resigning (from Burning Sun) due to a military clause. He said that he’d never been to Burning Sun and that he didn’t know any of the employees or patrons, then said that he felt the investigation was more geared towards a drug search.
2/4/19 – The CEO of Burning Sun made a statement addressing the physical assault of Mr. Kim. At no point did the CEO mention the viral video of the sexual assault, and most of the statement was used to try and dissolve Seungri of any blame or possible connection to the club.
2/16/19 – At his first show of his new tour, Seungri spoke publicly about the controversy and apologized to fans for worrying them and acting irresponsibly.
2/25/19 – SBS’s FunE revealed incriminating KakaoTalk text messages from 2015 that appeared to show Seungri instructing employees to secure prostitutes for wealthy businessmen looking to invest in one of his businesses. He says to get girls who “give well” and the participants also discuss “Taiwanese gangsters.” YG insisted that the text message screenshots were manipulated.
2/26/19 – In a statement made through YG, Seungri expressed his wishes to cooperate fully with the police regarding all of the allegations and be drug tested
2/27/19 – Seungri essentially “turned himself in” and spent eight-and-a-half hours at the police station, answering questions and submitting samples for drug testing. He asked fans to wait patiently for results. That same day, the first round of drug-testing came back negative, with Seungri coming up clean.
2/28/19 – YG cancelled all of Seungri’s upcoming shows and appearances.
3/3/19 – YG refutes claims that they shredded incriminating documents relating to Seungri and Burning Sun.
¾/19 – Though a source from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency had originally said that they did not have original copies of any KKT messages, and that they weren’t sure such messages truly existed, SBS FunE confirmed that the original copies were sent directly to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission. In short, the whistleblower responsible for leaking the KKT group messages did not feel comfortable going to the Seoul police, as they had reason to believe that there was a deep police connection WITHIN the KKT group chat itself.
3/8/19 – Following a statement from YG confirming Seungri’s enlistment date on 3/25/19, the Military Manpower Administration clarified that, unless an arrest warrant was issued and Seungri was jailed before the 25th, he would still be enlisting. They went on to say that they would participate fully in the investigation and that they could delay his enlistment if he is found guilty of any charges before the 25th.
3/10/19 – Police issued a search warrant for Burning Sun and sent 20 officers to search the premises. Not long after, Seungri was booked on charges related to facilitating prostitution, officially marking him a suspect in the controversies at Burning Sun.
3/11/19 (the busiest day so far – several updates all within a few hours of each other)
Police begin questioning the other (still unnamed) celebrities in Seungri’s alleged KKT group chat.
Later that day, in a horrifying twist, more KKT screenshots were leaked. In those chats, Seungri and a handful of others share and laugh about spy-cam footage of VIP rooms. In pictures and videos, women (who do not know they’re being filmed) perform sexual acts on men, at least one of whom is in the group chat.
Singer Jung Joon Young was revealed to be the man sharing the videos.
Translations of the texts seem to show Joon Young bragging about filming women (without consent) and sending them to the group chat. He even appears to be taking “requests” regarding videos.
In light of the new evidence, particularly the spy-cam footage, police made a statement to update the public on the status and severity of the investigation and to reiterate that they did not intend to slow down or stop the investigation once Seungri enlisted.
It was reported that the KKT chat about spy-cams was recovered throgh the phone of an unnamed celebrity. Allegedly, the celebrity sent his phone to be repaired and the KKT were subsequently leaked by a whistleblower.
Seungri shared a post on Instagram, announcing his retirement from the entertainment industry, saying that he was causing “societal disturbances” and that he wanted to protect YG and Bigbang.
Police and the Ministry of Justice officially banned Seungri from leaving Korea due to the severity of the investigation and his involvement in it.
YG released a statement basically saying that Seungri’s decision to “retire” was made without their knowledge, involvement or input, nor has there been an official decision about his exclusive contract with them.
Daniel Kang’s laywer appeared on MBC to state that Daniel has no connection to Seungri, Bigbang or Burning Sun despite previous claims that Daniel and Burning Sun shared an investor, and that Daniel had visited the club.
2 Days & 1 Night confirms Jung Joon Young’s removal from the show.
As another helpful resource, here is Reddit’s (/r/kpop) giant masterlist on Seungri and Burning Sun. The comments are full of good information, translations and additional links.
I will update this list as more information is released. Please reblog to help stop the spread of misinformation and please please do your own reading and research so that you can be as informed as possible. There are too many people on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr who are popping off without knowing any of the actual facts and that’s dangerous. This is a very serious situation with a lot of moving parts and as things get worse and worse, and it’s extremely important to be informed.

y’all was out here crucifying top over weed, but seungri has literal prostitution and pimping allegations and y’all out here babbling about ‘big bang is always 5 uwu’ where was that energy for top????? hot mess. lock his ass up!
#*sips tea*#maybe it's 'cause i'm from norcal#that smoking weed sounds much more harmless#i mean i would personally advise against smoking weed#+ it's illegal#but i mean t.o.p. had anxiety and was only doing stuff to his own body#unlike SEUNGRI#no matter how uninvolved he was#/even if all we saw was the extent of his involvement#he f*cking victimized/intoxicated unaware unconsenting women#which is beyond DISGUSTING#i know that the real perpetrators of the crime who are getting the big bucks probs pushed him forward to take this blame#i really hope the public/gov doesnt get blindsided by the whole 'celebrity involved in major scandal' thing and actually investigates though#that said he 100% deserved taking the fall#and def at least the three years in jail

This Seungri situation is making me sick in so many ways. It’s not only showing how much of a corrupt society we can be in, but how enabling fans are in the idol culture. Let’s start with this:
1. Yes, Seungri is innocent until proven guilty, but we will not say that the evidence is pretty damaging. With text, apparent videos, and other celebrities involvement, we all know when there is smoke there is fire. So to pretend he’s Jesus being nailed to the cross is unlikely because too much of this leads to the commonality of Seungri. Also, this is not just something that started a year ago, the proof goes back as far as 2013.
2. To blame these women is beyond me. I do not understand anyone who blames any woman on those videos when they were victimized and filmed without consent. They had no clue that this would be shared and most likely did not want to be monopolized by these men. Also, do not pretend that men of power do not have authority of these women. Maybe he didn’t threaten them, but with power comes a fear that could easily influence women to do exactly what you want. Do not make them seem as if they were happy hookers or some shit.
3. Finally, the audacity of people to say “remember what happened to Jonghyun” is fucking disrespectful. Jonghyun was not a criminal nor accused of anything during his time of death, and his mental health did not make him do anything illegal. Seungri, however, put himself in these position and needs to deal with the consequences. He did this to himself, he’s not the victim, and to compare his situation to a man who literally never did anything wrong is beyond me. Jonghyun battled himself, Seungri battled the law. Don’t ever make it seem like Jonghyun’s suicide could happen to Seungri when the commonality is not the same.
As a VIP, I understand the disappointment, confusion, and anger. However, holding Seungri’s hand is not helping, but is enabling him to engage in horrible or risky behavior that is bringing harm to women. Being a member of the worlds best K-Pop group brings not only power, but all that comes with it, and he should understand whether he’s guilty or not, he should have not even put himself in a situation to risk himself and the women around him.
If anyone has a problem with anything I just said then I’m open to discussion.
#tbh even if NOTHING ELSE comes up he's already complicit in a lot of sh*t#the chatroom messages were confirmed#i know i said that i don't do cancel culture#and yeah#bigbang is easily my favorite boyband#but seriously this sh*t is real#that being said#i do have a feeling his 'fall'/retirement is a tactic that the OTHER criminals are using#i.e. using his celebrity status + scandal as a red herring#so that the public is distracted from the fact that they're literally tricking women into disgusting situations#and/or sex workers into being filmed with zero consent#i really really think that investigation has to continue BEYOND just seungri retiring and sh*t#he 100% deserves the backlash#and it's time for the korean authorities to move past celebrities and investigate all the people in the group chat/his night club#seungri

There are viewers hating on Dal-lae?! Why?!?!?!
Viewers of The Crowned Clown who hate on Dal-lae, a teenage girl who is kept out of a loop, got RAPED by the shithead son of a shithead minister, worried to death about her brother’s disappearance, and is actively trying to seek answers for it, and openly wished for her death or want to slap her, should honestly be ashamed of themselves.
