A scandal broke out when actor Kim Jung Hyun of Mr. Queen fame was noticed together with his Crash Landing On You co-star, Seo Ji Hye. Dispatch Korea, a paparazzi publication declared that the previous co-stars have been lovers in actual life and that Kim Jung Hyun was planning to shift to his ‘girlfriend’s’ company. Culture Depot, Seo Ji Hye’s company firmly denied relationship rumours, nonetheless, affirmed that Kim Jung Hyun was certainly making an attempt to signal an unique contract with them.
Kim Jung Hyun’s company went on a tirade towards the actor and revealed they went via painstaking lengths to cowl his scandals. For these uninitiated, Kim Jung Hyun was closely criticized for his impolite behaviour in direction of Girls’ Generation member, Seohyun through the press convention of their 2018 drama, Time. Subsequently, the actor left the present citing consuming and sleeping problems. The concern was forgotten as each the artists moved on from this disastrous expertise. O& Entertainment revealed that Kim Jung Hyun’s behaviour has been unprofessional and reminded him that they did strive to cowl up his ‘girlfriend points’ through the making of Time.
All hell broke free when Dispatch Korea went a step additional and revealed that the ‘girlfriend’ in query was actress Seo Yea Ji, who manipulated Kim Jung Hyun into behaving rudely with Seohyun. Dispatch Korea leaked non-public chats between them the place Seo Yea Ji is seen ‘instructing’ Kim Jung Hyun to be impolite to everybody on set, specifically Seohyun, and never movie any romantic scenes along with her. Kim Jung Hyun is enjoying the ‘candy and obedient’ boyfriend who follows her directions to the tee, even referring to himself as ‘Stiff Kim’. The leaked chats turned a significant subject of dialogue amongst netizens and Okay-drama followers worldwide. The worldwide media had a discipline day digging into the actors’ private lives, making an attempt to juice any scandalous details about them.
Several ex-workers went on a witch-hunt towards Seo Yea Ji levelling bullying and faculty violence allegations towards her. All of a sudden, there have been ‘blind gadgets’ about her being a dominating girlfriend who cheated on a number of males, a lady who makes use of and throws away males for pleasure and controls them. Several rumours reveal that actor Kim Jung Hyun was mentally tortured and harassed and nearly drove him to the purpose of no return!
The reactions to Kim Jung Hyun have been barely sympathetic. Netizens pitied him for falling prey to an ‘evil witch’ of a girlfriend and a few mocked him for not being manly sufficient to overpower her. “Why did not he simply break up along with her?”, was the commonest rhetoric that handed round like Chinese whispers. Seo Yea Ji ultimately cancelled her movie’s premiere and retreated right into a cocoon. After a delayed silence, Seo Yea Ji’s company Gold Medalist launched an announcement clarifying their stance. They expressed contempt over Dispatch Korea’s position in the scandal and issued an apology to Seo Yea Ji’s followers. Kim Jung Hyun too penned a heartfelt apology notice for mistreating Seohyun, to the workers of his drama Time and his earlier company, O& Entertainment. He additionally apologized to Culture Depot for dragging them via this mess.
This is all that has occurred in these few days and it’s simply the crux. The outer layer of what we, the audiences know. Only the involved individuals know the precise fact. However, the query is – Is anyone even involved to know the reality? Everyone desires a bit of gossip, one thing to speak about. I keep in mind the second the controversy broke out, my telephone could not cease buzzing as all my pals despatched me a message concerning the controversy. I used to be a part of the juiciest discussions on Whatsapp discussing the matter, debating, and taking sides.
Instagram and Twitter have been abuzz with previous photos, alledged info, and slander. Everyone was so busy savouring the fodder from this junk that we largely disregard crucial facet that wants to be purchased to gentle – Mental Health. Almost instantly everybody divided themselves into two groups – Team Kim Jung Hyun versus Team Seo Yea Ji. Nobody cared to know the evident and the one fact staring proper into our souls is the whole disregard for psychological well being.
All the stakeholders – Dispatch Korea, the actors, businesses, netizens, and opportunists obtained busy washing soiled linen in public, that they utterly forgot to take vital lessons from this senseless, viral controversy. First off, I imagine it’s a prison offense to leak non-public chats about anybody on a public discussion board. It is a breach of knowledge know-how and a person’s privateness. How did Dispatch Korea get these leaked chats? Who allowed them to leak these chats in public? How do they get away with it so simply? Dispatch Korea has put many people lives’ at stake for just a few additional hits. It is a shameful prison offense and Dispatch Korea ought to be held accountable for a similar.
Kim Jung Hyun was struggling from consuming and sleeping problems that rendered his psychological well being to be in a poor state. Seo Yea Ji should have been via nice agony and trauma coping with this vicious witch-hunt towards her. Actress Seohyun was dragged into any person else’s mess for no fault of hers and had to cope with painful feelings of her previous as outdated wounds have been reopened recent. I admit it’s a scandal, however scandals in the general public eye have severe and irreversible repercussions. I imagine media businesses, particularly social media ought to act with restraint and sensitivity in such occasions. Disaster administration ought to be accomplished rapidly and successfully earlier than a difficulty spreads like wildfire. It is vital to be delicate and understanding to everybody’s psychological well being, together with these of celebrities. We by no means know the private battles they’re combating in their lives and positively, should not make social media platforms a trial room for passing judgments on individuals. Be form.
