Park Bom Scandal and Comeback IMO

Park Bom, main vocalist of the now disbanded 2ne1, is suspected to be making a comeback soon. She has been on hiatus for a few years now, with the only real break being the goodbye song 2ne1 released shortly after the announcement of their disbandment. For those who don't know, she was investigated for smuggling drugs and all charges were cleared. Basically, it was a drug for ADHD (among other things) that is illegal in South Korea, but perfectly fine in the US. It was prescribed to her by an American doctor after she found that her treatments in America were more effective than those in Korea. Due to her busy schedule, she was unable to go and get a refill on her prescription, so her doctor mailed it to her. The drugs(medication) were intercepted at the airport.

Yang Ye Won Case IMO

Over the past month and a half, a certain youtuber, Yang Ye Won, has been making headlines. So here's a short backstory. Yang is the victim of leaked nudes. After her nude photos were leaked, she released a Youtube video claiming that she was sexually harassed and asaulted by 20 men during a photoshoot (the same photoshoot that produced the nude pictures) that lasted for 5 sessions. The video went viral and some netizens started a petition to get the government involved in leading an investigation. Suzy, along with other celebrities, signed this petition; please note that Suzy was the only celebrity that posted a screenshot of this petition on social media, with her signature attached. Since then, it has been revealed that the studio identified in the petition is not related to the case at all, and they are suing Suzy and the 2 persons responsible for starting the petition. Meanwhile, the actual studio that is linked to the case (or at least the owner of that one) has released messages that show that Yang Ye Won actually participated in 13 sessions and she initiated all the additional sessions. In response, Yang basically claims that she had given up on becoming an actress, felt her life was ruined and needed the money.

Personal Update

Hey, everyone.

It's been a long time since I last updated this blog...almost 5 years! Amazing how time flies, isn't it? Well, this entry is going to be more of a personal update, to let you guys know what I've been up to.

First things first, I am still very much into kpop and dramas, even though, to be honest, it's really difficult for me to keep up with everything at this point. I have a lot of opinions to share on everything that has been happening, from the conclusion of the KHJ vs Choi drama to Yoochun's scandal to TOP's marijuana scandal and the Korean version of the #MeToo movement. However, I'm not going to try and catch myself up. We'll just be moving forward.

If you don't particularly care for my personal life, this is the time to stop reading this particular post. So I went back to school. I am currently in university studying computer and information sciences. I'm not passionate about it, but I'm okay, so I'll graduate with a degree. I'm not even sure if I want to continue working in tech, but that's a bridge I'll cross when I get to it.

That's pretty much it. You'll be hearing from me real soon.

Back Again

I've been on a long break, and once again, I apologize for that.  There's a whole lot that has been happening over the past two years, both in my personal life and in the k-pop world (as well as in the wider, real world).  So, I'm going to summarize the basics of what has stuck in my mind over the past two years and, hopefully, stay online this time.
