The South Korean Entertainment Industry Needs To Either Shape Up Or Ship Out

It was just a preview. According to Soompi, “The next episode of “Master in the House” will air on February 7 at 6:25 p.m.”

Also, it’s true that Koreans, in general, are very sentimental. The evil International press often claims that they’re being paid to cry at national funerals, but that’s not true at all. Umm… I’m watching this historical Kdrama, and during one episode, the king died, leaving everyone in tears, royalty and commoners alike. That’s how they are. And I know they’re not the only ones. As tough as the Americans portray themselves to be, when JFK suddenly died, I know for a fact that many cried and were heartbroken.

Don’t quote me or anything, but I personally believe that God is phasing out all these “macho manly men” in favour of caring people who aren’t afraid to share their feelings. Umm… My father never had a heart-to-heart conversation with me. I don’t think he even had any feelings. He was just a big brute. I’m ashamed to say that, for a short period, I thought I had to be just like him. I’ll never ever be like him! As men, our sole purpose is to take care of others, not hurt them with our aggression. So I’m glad God is phasing us out. :heartpulse:

Thank you so much sweet angel @adrianmorales. That’s the best thing that can happen to anyone; I chose the: ‘‘It’s better to be alone than in bad company.’’ But I’m already over the hill, and I did tried a second time to find happiness (it was good while it lasted 17 yrs around) so I’m very happy in my life although going through hurdles that come along the way…:wink:

In her statement, former April member Hyunjoo wrote that her agency has refused to end her contract while at the same time denying her any work whatsoever. They are literally starving her in order to punish her for speaking up against the injustices she suffered as a debutante. How utterly disgusting is this? Clearly, the SK entertainment industry is refusing to shape up. They won’t ship out, either, because of all the money involved, mostly coming from so-called “fans” who support this toxic industry. It’s a never-ending cycle of abuse. But we have to break it somehow. Does anyone know how to operate heavy machinery?! :grimacing: :weary:

“At the moment, all my activities through my agency have been halted, and any new work that has been offered to me has been one-sidedly rejected without consulting me. The agency has also stated that they cannot terminate my exclusive contract.”

She needs to read her contract, what agency can and cannot do, if it’s not clear, consult a lawyer, this is a work hindrance and should not be allowed by law if there is such. - Korea needs such laws that would prevent agencies doing discriminating acts and loss of income!

Agreed! It seems to me that these agencies are operating above the law. They need to be taken down a peg or two…

Haven’t seen you around in a while. Be safe…

PS. So weird it says 4 months later, but her comment is from back in October 2019, and exactly in 2 months this will be 2 years ago not 4 months ago… What’s going on in here?:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

@adrianmorales Your post is back! Now I understand when you said your post were deleted a while back (this one was one of them, right?)

Your post is the next one after Adrian’s post which was 20th April 2021. Not to the post that you replied to.

I was talking/writing to @helenama73_911 her post was from back in 2019 not to @adrianmorales. See above ^^^^

But I see what you mean is 4 months from @adrianmorales posting; so I though it would say almost 2 years from @helenama73_911 post, but I see now. But you got what I was trying to say, right? :joy:

That’s what I’m saying. Your post is tacked onto the end of the topic. The 4 months later is counted from the time the last post was posted (Adrian’s) even though you were replying to a post that was posted back in 2019 your reply to that post is still tacked onto the end to the topic.

Ah it has been a while! I took a break from media for a while for some needed rest, as well as a break from Kdramas. Slowly but surely I’m starting to get back into watching Korean movies that have been on my watchlist for years. My senior year of university starts on Monday, so I’m mentally prepping for the hectic schedule that will take over my life for the next several months :sweat_smile:

Nah, it just fell through the cracks, that’s all. You see, nobody wants to know how the salami is made. And should you tell them, people will become upset not with the ones making the bad salami, but with you, for spoiling the pleasure of enjoying a bad salami. It seems that everyone is OK with how things are, so at one point or another, you just have to let it go. After all, why should I be the bad guy who spoils things? It’s just a shame that so many young and super talented people have to perish needlessly on the sacrificial altar of entertainment…

Call me slow…you mean the post was around here all this time?

I saw something fishy here around 4 am someone was doing EDITS to one of my post when I clicked on the edit word, it took me to the edited thing a post that a staff from here (I have no problem with that) I’m guessing was editing (a video was removed). The word ‘‘EDIT’’ disappeared now from my page. Today,

I saw another thread/post (not this one) that I thought was ‘‘deleted?’’ removed?’’ But is back in here. So many weird things going on around in here. As long as is not a ghost …I’m terrified of ghost bc they are really scary to deal with. You see something woke me up around that time to go and check that specific page and I don’t know why…scary sh*t.

I told you something really ‘‘weird’’ is going around here because your shower post is back!

BTW, did you noticed they removed the ‘‘new policies/changes’’ done back around the time of the pandemic? A staff member that made these new rules making most post as breaking the guidelines rules here at RViki.com? I knew this was coming for some unknown reason. I’m glad your post is back! But I honestly don’t remember seeing it before, and I just read it all now.
