More on the drug scandal

[uisceros]

This korean drug scandal is just getting worse and worse.

Not that we didn't see this coming; All Joo Ji Hoon events canceled. Things are getting worse. I know some people are worried about JJH attempting suicide, what with the most recent suicide of Woo Seung Yeon (I personally don't know her from anywhere, but it's still monumentally sad. I think something must be wrong with the Korean entertainment industry...)

The thing that gets me the most about this is that poor JJH's career was ruined because he took drugs TWICE. God, probably 1/3rd (or more) of college aged kids in the US have taken drugs once or twice.

I agree with the dramabeans commenter’s, JJH is being used as a scapegoat here because he's the biggest name so far. Obviously this whole thing goes deeper. And more attention should be place on Yoon Seol Hee, who, in my opinion, is the one most at fault here. I also agree that he should join the army as soon as possible. It gets it out of the way, and maybe he can resurect his career when he gets back.

Also, in fairly depressing for Meredith news; Kim Jeong Hoon leaves for military service. But hey, isn't Gong Yoo's service almost up? September, right? I will be highly excited when Gong Yoo comes back.

I hope he doesn't attempt suicide! But I wouldn't be too surprised as it seems to be so common there recently. Don't do it!

I hope he's able to overcome it, but all the recent suicides in Korean entertainment make me nervous.

*DROOLS* Kim Jeong Hoon? I need to wiki him right now.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

His best known role; Yul in Goong. And since I love Yul, my adoration transfered to Jeong Hoon.

Apparently I've seen him before cause I watched Goong, but him with the short hair just threw me for a loop.

He's a year older than me.

So...I'm thinking in two years...trip to Korea? You in?

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the short hair is kinda weird!

He's older than me too! AND taller! There, he fufills both my requirements.

Definitely in. I'd even go right now, and track him down... Stalking? Me? Never...

I wish he was back yesterday.

Me too! I miss Gong Yoo... It's been a long two years.

Poor JJH, I really hope this doesn't ruin him. It's difficult to say to forgive someone for taking drugs but it was only a couple of times- cut him some slack South Korea!
I love how in the Kim Jeong Hoon interview he says they go easier on the old ones;-)

I'm still horribly sad for poor JJH. It's so obvious to me now that they're going to use him as a scapegoat, a pariah of drug use. Poor thing!

I love that too! KJH is only 29!

*sigh* the whole thing's just sad...

oh, but yay. kim jeong hoon~

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

It is! I feel so bad for him!

I'm going to miss KJH! I loved him so so much in Goong.

Unfortunately if your famous you must be perfect in every way because you are a role model for everyone. *snort* It's like in Japan when there was instances of two people just underage DRINKING and SMOKING (OH - MY - GAWD! Somebody stop the presses! This is BIIIIG) seriously lol. Pretty much they can't do anything now. Meanwhile you know they all probably drink and smoke all the time, yet they don't get caught.

I don't think celebrities should get good attention due to bad actions they did (like they do here. Sometimes I think people do it on purpose too...), but I also don't think it should condemn them forever! Because yes, people make mistakes, esp. young people and esp. in a business like they are in ne!

COME BACK TO US, GONG YOO.

I know! We need him! Dramas have been such a bore without him.
