TV: Hype begins for Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun's upcoming drama

Article: Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun's 'You Who Came From the Stars', will it inherit 'The Heirs' #1 streak?

Source: Star News via Naver

1. [+1,091, -23] 'Pretty Man' is at the bottom of the viewer ratings bin while 'Miss Korea' has low hopes because of Lee Yeon Hee... This drama at least has an impressive cast list.

2. [+976, -58] Start the year off with Lee Jong Suk, have Lee Min Ho inherit the popularity, and finally have Kim Soo Hyun with the shining finale to the year!!!!

3. [+750, -43] Don't care, I'll be watching this for Ji Hyun! It's been so long since she's had a smallscreen comeback.

4. [+684, -16] It'll be an easy #1 for them~ 'Pretty Man' will soon hit its lowest viewer ratings yet which only leaves 'Miss Korea' as competition, but I'm sure the drama can beat it easily~

5. [+153, -10] There are so many people around me who are looking forward to this drama... The casting alone is worthy of the hype.

6. [+151, -14] The casting makes it hard to not watch... I'll be tuning in for the first time in a while.

7. [+149, -17] A lot of name value in the cast with Jun Ji Hyun and Kim Soo Hyun. I'm looking forward to it.

8. [+134, -8] You couldn't possibly have a bad script with a cast like Kim Soo Hyun and Jun Ji Hyun.

9. [+138, -16] I'm an IU fan but I'll be watching 'Star' over 'Pretty Man'. 'Pretty Man' is just no fun and the viewer ratings are dropping, which most fans have come to accept.

10. [+118, -7] Please... the only female lead competition Jun Ji Hyun has is Lee Yeon Hee. She may be an ajumma now but she's of a different class. Who would bother watching Lee Yeon Hee's poor acting?ㅋ

Gagwoman Kang Yoomi criticized for taking an ambulance to a late schedule

Article: An ambulance is now a quick service mobile for celebrities? Kang Yoomi under controversy for 'proof shooting' ambulance ride

Source: No Cut News via Nate

Tweet: "I was late to my Busan performance so I rode an ambulance for the first time... I guess such things happen as you live on..."

1. [+1,317, -4] Hul... This is really wrong.

2. [+1,098, -5] I can see why she's under controversy...

3. [+1,078, -58] Kang Yoomi-ssi, you made a big mistake. You should've just rode it quietly..

4. [+128, -1] When people make way for ambulances, they do it with the thought that someone in a dire situation is riding on it... Imagine how they would feel once they find out that it was a celebrity merely riding it because she was late to a performance.

5. [+108, -1] What was she thinking? Is an ambulance a taxi?;; This is so stupid I don't even know what to say;;;

6. [+100, -1] I remember reading in the news that an 8 year old boy died from an obstructed airway because his ambulance was 30 minutes late. The ambulances from the hospital closest to him were out for another patient so they had to call in an ambulance from further away... That one ambulance could've saved someone's life, but she used it for a performance... What a joke.

7. [+85, -1] She's asking for hate.

8. [+66, -1] This is the true use of SNS... To filter the idiots.

Article: Kang Yoomi apologizes for ambulance controversy

Source: Mydaily via Naver

"I had no idea it would turn into a controversy. At the time, I was worried because I was late to a performance of my musical 'Dream Girls'. My manager tried to think of any possible way to get there as fast as we could. In the end, we decided to go with an ambulance.

This was my first time hearing that it was possible since I never thought of it. My manager came up with the idea after much deliberation. The fact that I was late in the first place was my first mistake. My second mistake was that I didn't think riding am ambulance would be a problem. I was thoughtless to think that it wouldn't be a problem.

It was also my mistake to upload that on SNS. I only use SNS with my close friends but I must've messed up the settings and put everything on public. I will be careful in the future. I'm sorry."

-

1. [+809, -11] The reason an ambulance can travel fast is because people move out of the way to help a person in need... Way to backstab the people who moved for you.

2. [+758, -13] Ambulances don't exist for celebrities to get to late schedules. You should've prepared beforehand. I hope this never happens again.

3. [+689, -24] She's a problem but also the ambulance that gave her a ride in the first place. I bet he was given hush money, which actually put another life who might've needed the ambulance in danger. I guess they weren't lying when they said ambulances receive hush money too.

4. [+578, -7] How could she even think of taking a picture of it... Really thoughtless.

5. [+174, -5] In her apology, is she basically saying she wouldn't have been caught if she had her settings on friends only or private? Crazy girl.

1. [+743, -38] It was a contrast between Won and Tan. The crown Tan wanted to wear was love, and for that, he overcame all of the obstacles of the world. A drama that really shows the importance of the scriptwriter's skill. It was a clean ending that wrapped everything up. I hope Tan and Eunsang continue forward together^ㅡ^♥ Had a great time watching.

2. [+596, -27] I liked this drama.

3. [+457, -21] I really enjoyed it♥ Right until the very end...

4. [+37, -1] At the very end, when they were walking while holding hands, they looked like they were saying adlibs ^^

5. [+34, -5] When all of the scenes passed by at the end, the entire drama felt like a summer night's dream ㅜㅜ Although I'm sad that Won and Hyun Joo got sad endings....

1. [+294, -10] I was really glad to see that the drama didn't glamorize Youngdo bullying Junyoung by blaming it on his bad family background and actually showed him apologize. A great drama~

2. [+221, -6] My heart clenched seeing Youngdo cryㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

3. [+228, -25] Youngdo's tears... were sadder than Kim Tan's tears...

4. [+25, -0] Youngdo always made tears brim in my eyes but today, those tears finally flowed.

30 female top stars under suspicion for prostitution

Background info on this: Last night, a bunch of articles came out about 30 female top stars being involved in prostitution. Simultaneously, articles about another issue (the president pushing for the privatization of railroads, which would hike up the prices of train tickets astronomically) were mysteriously taken down.

Some netizens began to notice this so when people were searching for the names of the alleged female stars, they started planting the initials 'M Y H' in the comments, saying she was one of the stars. Then netizens went further and claimed it was a star named Min Young Hwa, which led to the name being the most searched keyword on portal sites.

The sneaky part about it is that Min Young Hwa is not the name of an actual star, but rather the word for 'privatization', so netizens were able to redirect the attention from the scandal back to the privatization issue. Whether it's really a conspiracy.. who knows, but it was a cool move on the netizens' part since it brought attention to a more important issue anyway.

1. [+1,328, -51] These stars never end up being top stars when you find their identities.

2. [+1,497, -461] What issue is the government trying to cover now that they have to pull out the number 30...

3. [+893, -35] Who??? I hope they reveal the names so that innocent stars don't get harmed.

4. [+168, -47] You can release scandals like this all you want, you cannot privatize the railroads

5. [+113, -38] I heard it was Min Young Hwa-ssi

6. [+1,188, -296] The married top star A-B = Min Young Hwa

7. [+1,152, -264] Media outlet, now that Ilbe articles aren't getting you anywhere, you're trying to bury the privatization issue with celebrity gossip? So pathetic. I oppose the privatization of railroads.
