Article: 'Blind item' rumors without any sources, up to what can you believe?
Source: OSEN via Naver
1. [+129, -3] The journalists make it worse by turning those rumors into articles without any confirmed information
2. [+120, -3] Wow, look at a media outlet that runs nothing but unconfirmed rumors talk as if they're better than unconfirmed rumors ㅋㅋㅋ
3. [+105, -15] I'd say about 8~9 out of 10 are true. There are 1 or 2 that are fake, but the amount of times they come out to be real are higher than you think.
4. [+86, -3] People believe them because most of them actually are revealed to be true later. Except for the ridiculous ones.
5. [+79, -7] The one that was circulating about Park Shi Hoo being bit by a kkot-baem turned out to be true. She did end up being a kkot-baem.
6. [+79, -9] The blind items are usually right. Not the ones started by nobodies on the internet but the ones spread by real insiders.
7. [+63, -3] Most of the ones I've read have come true... although on the internet, it seems there's a good mix of true and false ones lately.
8. [+55, -4] So far, the accuracy rate has been pretty high...
9. [+49, -2] I used to always read them thinking 'No way!!'... but then some of them end up true so I don't ignore them completely...
10. [+37, -0] I have a harder time believing the sh*t you put out as articles, all you media outlets

in general 95% of the shit you read about Hollywood is true so I don't see why it would be any different for the k-industry
ReplyDeleteWhere there's smoke, there's fire after all. Majority of blind items really do end up being true. I mean, some of the first gen K-idols, who even now will hardly ever admit to their relationships when they were idols, said that many of the rumored ~scandals~ back then were true. No one is just willing to fess up unless they absolutely have/want to.

ReplyDeleteagree...
Whether its real or not, Koreans (and most people) love this kind of gossip. Even if it were completely fake, people will still love it. Journalists know this, and so they continue to post them.
ReplyDeleteBlind items in my country end up actually being true. They just dont reveal the names to protect the celeb.
ReplyDeleteblind items are still blind items though...
ReplyDeleteAs reliable as majority K-slutizens being sluts.
ReplyDeleteI read them just for fun, are there actually people out there who take them seriously?
ReplyDeleteWhere are you from?
ReplyDeleteI read them for the guessing game, but don't give much credence to them..
ReplyDeletePhilippines. I remember meeting a celeb couple at a mall and they were hugging each other like crazy. They were in alot of blind items and kept denying that they were dating. And then when they broke up, thats when they came out that they dated.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind reading it for fun because everybody loves a little gossip from time to time or on a regular basis. I think as long as no one is getting hurt, then it's all in good fun.
ReplyDeleteNo one actually comes out with the truth until it's over :\
