A really, really hard watch. Goo Hara was an angel this world did not deserve. She probably saved hundreds of women from harm and further harm.

[jedaos]

hara reached out to the journalists investigating burning sun because she was acquaintances with those involved and wanted to help.... meanwhile hyuna's openly dating one of them despite her former image as a girl's girl

Hyuna is awful. Here's why...

I have seen posts or comments talking about how "she might not know what he did" "she could just be oblivious" NO! The Burning Sun scandal and all those involved were EVERYWHERE. She knew. And she knew those involved.

This isn't just disappointing, this is flat out DISRESPECTFUL and just...straight up MEAN GIRL behavior.

All I can think about are those victims and all the girls who looked up to Hyuna. Our sweet girl Goo Hara. Hara and Hyuna were FRIENDS. I am not upset that Hyuna is dating her ex boyfriend, that's not the issue here. The issue here is that Hara is no longer here with us. This woman took HER LIFE because of a man just like those men involved in the Burning Sun scandal. She took HER LIFE!

Goo Hara dedicated her time and efforts in the last months of her life trying to help the victims of the Burning Sun scandal, tried bringing those involved to light to help expose and help the victims get help to heal.

She did everything to save them when nobody was there to SAVE HER.

And this man, who admitted to watching the videos, who was INVOLVED and knew about the crimes but did NOTHING is just as guilty. This is a big slap on the face to the victims, to women, and to her friend Goo Hara.

Hyuna deserves the heat. Let her burn while holding that man's hand. So be it.

Let her career end.

a new idol with a wholesome persona has been exposed for committing sex crimes against women. i hope his victim(s) gets justice and the whole burning sun fiasco doesn't happen again but i have no faith in the korean justice system.

[sscarletvenus]

everytime someone remotely alludes to what seungri did, you will have his stans all up in your notifs trying to prove you wrong as if THEY were the ones who conducted all investigations.

it is a sick fucking joke how men like him still have fans. fans who swear that this demon is innocent. AND seungri is already out of prison and back to working with a new TV show lined up... people running into him in clubs and bars living his best life after doing what he did...

south korea will implement choreography laws but will let criminals who have admitted to raping and pimping and drugging women roam free.

bless goo hara for what she did. my heart breaks thinking of everything she went through. rest easy in paradise, you are forever missed my angel

[everythingkimhongjoong]

This is how this man behaves.

The crazy thing is how I still have women in my replies defending him. Claiming he is innocent. Like how desperate and ignorant can you possibly be.

Some of y'all fans are far too deep into your delusions.

Wait. For context, who is Zico and what did he do?

hello ml!! zico is a famous producer and rapper. he debuted in 2011 as the leader of “block b” and eventually grew as a solo artist around 2014-15 but block b disbanded around 2018. he was also a judge on i-land and basically formed the groups “boynextdoor” and “enhypen”. you might've heard some of his solo songs because they're catchy, unfortunately. he has a song with jennie (blackpink) called “spot!”, another one called “okey dokey” with mino (winner, mobb). aside from him embarrassing seolhyun (AOA) (his ex-girlfriend; they were caught dating by dispatch and he denied it all to save his reputation which led to embarrassing her), his blatan racism (wearing a confederate flag jacket, said the n-word in his 2010 track “if i ain't got jjanggae”, said one of his talents is “talking like a black person”) and homophobia (saying the f slur), zico appeared on a show around 2016 with JJY aka jung joonyoung, the ringleader of the burning sun scandal. to make a long story short, zico and jjy were very good friends (he was good friends with a lot of the cunts involved in that scandal). to make a long story even shorter, he said he had seen/was looking at jjy's “golden phone” which is what jjy ultimately had been using to distribute videos and photos of women being drugged and raped. zico denies seeing any of the footage, which i and anybody with 2 brain cells find hard to believe because they were close, and the phone was deemed golden for a reason. jjy literally confirmed that zico scrolled through the phone hours and hours on end, just to say he didn't see any of what was happening. i loved block b back in 2015 and listened to them with my dad, and some of zico's songs stood out to me but it's very important to not trust idols, especially the male ones, just because they portray themselves a certain way. zico has always been known for lying to save his own ass no matter who pays the price for it, just like the situation with his ex i previously mentioned. as you may know, goo hara, (KARA) may her beautiful soul rest in peace, had her house broken into not too long ago. she played a vital part in helping a journalist uncover the horrors of the burning sun scandal. not too long after, she ended her life. she died a hero and the entirety of korea failed her miserably. her house was broken into just a while back and, what do you know? zico is the prime suspect

These are photos of public women's restrooms in Korea where men have drilled holes in stall doors to insert spy cams to record women to streaming porn sites. Spy cams in Korea can be disguised as screws.

South Korea has been struggling for years with an epidemic of spy cam porn and private messaging groups spreading nonconsensual porn of women and girls.

Subscription-based sites sell streaming videos of women in private places, such as in public toilets or hotel rooms, and the creators of this voyeuristic porn are able to earn living wages from this violation of their privacy.

All-women inspection teams were deployed by the South Korean government from 2016 to search public toilets for hidden cameras.

Yet the cameras are still widely available for low prices.

The footage is broadcast live on porn sites.

im speechless what the fuck. these celebrity men were running a club for the sole purpose of drugging and raping girls and women. the male guests „vips“ went there for the sole purpose of raping unconscious women. what the FUCK. this was systematic, they were livechatting about everything… this seems too insidious to be real. this seems like right out of an exploitation movie.
