DK News Aftershow 1026

Xiao Ting #1 and Yurina #9. It would be like Sakura and Chaeyeon all over again.

OK, so you went there with the dish-washing theory, so I'll go there too. KSH was pussy-whipped by this woman, that's why he put up with her lying cheating ways. It happens. His friend was sympathetic, it probably happened to him, too, what can you do. You cannot talk your friend out of that situation, he needs to wake himself out of it himself. Unfortunately, that emotional blackmail pregnancy was just one step too far and he got into a lose-lose situation. But it did wake him up - although they continued the relationship for a little bit longer, and he even introduced her to his parents, there was an emotional maturing for him. Although it's a shit show now, he may come out of it a stronger person. As for her, she needs to find out what her priorities are because she seems to be continuing that blackmail pattern - it's not working, move on from that!

I think in light of the timeline too absolutely regardless of all of the other information on the issues with his ex and the rebuttal of the charges, they got pregnant after only dating 4 months and had just broken up literally 2 weeks before. That's a pretty irresponsible environment to bring a baby into imo and would be enough for me to say yeah accidents happen they did the right thing.

KSH situation: My initial reaction was these people never heard of birth control? These are adults, people in their 30s, this woman doesn’t take control over her body, never mind leaving it up to the guy whether he uses a condom or not. Even if it isn’t 100% foolproof, take control of your options. Second reaction after the Dispatch article: KSH was NOT the father of her baby but she makes him emotionally responsible for it. Can’t be proven, it’s all moot with the abortion but she has him with emotional blackmail. They move forward with some semblance of a relationship for a period of time but he wakes up from that (I could be crude here but I won’t) and they break it off. She becomes vindictive and his career suffers. This scenario is all too familiar. If her “friends” are not backing her up, then yes it will get messier than it is now. If she wants to sue, Dispatch is just daring her. KSH can come back from this, he just needs to be patient.

For the KSH situation- who are we to judge him. We’ve only heard one side of the story. This was a personal matter that his ex made public at a time when his star is on the rise. It sounds very vindictive. Maybe he did talk to her about an abortion but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t something she was thinking about anyway. Why does his career have to be destroyed for a decision they made together? So now he’s spoken to her and they’ve cleared the air but you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.

this latest dispatch article... I feel so bad for him. I had a feeling that this was just an ugly breakup where they had invested a lot emotionally when he didn't even try to argue any point in his apology. That said something about his character to me I think. I hope he can make a comeback. I really love his acting and variety work and his story was really touching. I was hoping I wasn't that bad a judge of character. Two 35 year old adult human beings decided together to not follow through with a pregnancy they weren't in a place for and somehow that ruined this mans whole life. I hope you guys will do an update on this next news because this is NEWS

Personally, I don't mind the Kepler lineup because Yeseo and Mashiro got in. I understand how people can feel frustrated regarding Bahiyyih, as she wasn't given much screentime throughout the entire show. If I didn't use the internet alot I probably wouldn't have known much about her, based on the show alone. Therefore, it feels like the pre-existing fandom was the main cause for her debut. It definetly isn't her fault in any way though, as she cannot control her screentime so there is no use in placing anger or blame on her. Also, if this same lineup debutted with Xiao Ting at #1 and Bahiyyih at #9, I think the tone would be alot more positive. The rankings don't really matter now that they are debutted so I think everything will be fine.

The new dispatch reports sure do give a different perspective. Terrible that all of this went public to begin with

for the KSH situation : sounds like a messy relationship, but honestly it takes 2 to make a baby in the first place. If he was that concerned about becoming an un-planned father, then he could/should have taken better precautions? but then again that's their personal choices about their private lives. For the ex, I understand wanting a personal apology or have a person face some sort of consequences for a*hole behavior; but it seems like she failed to anticipate how far reaching those consequences would be-namely the cancelling of his already filmed projects impacting so many other people....

Power cannot be overlooked in relationship dynamics. Abuse isn’t always visible/physical. It can be mental. Since we are not in the relationship we can’t say one way or another how much power or push he manipulated over her to dictate her decision making.

About kep1er, I don’t think anyone is 100% satisfied with final lineup, this isn’t new for idol shows and gets old, if anyone doesn’t like the lineup just don’t support the group. In all honesty the show was horrible in general, from the edits, and the voting system which was just bad and almost unfair of 50-50 votes and only one voting member at the end and the unfair treatment the chinese members had. All and all the final lineup i think it’s good, I actually like bahiyyih but not a fan, I just don’t get why people are hating on her, people need realize what danny said she has the biggest fandom in the show she will bring love and popularity into the group, it’s just so sad for xiaoting to be so low and the only chinese member, honestly the whole chinese lineup got robbed 😂, either way let’s just hope the group change our thoughts.

Messy situation all around. I bet a big part of this was him being ambitious and probably not wanting a kid/wife during this hot period of his career. I wonder if it weren’t for the conservative culture in Korea, perhaps he would’ve felt free enough to let the woman keep the baby and yet also carry on an actor career. Not ideal, but the woman would at least have her baby. If I were in her shoes, I’d want the baby but ditch the boyfriend (as he’s revealed himself and his character anyhow). Disappointing as I am a big fan of his, but I’m not delulu enough to blindly support nor ditch all his work due to his scandal. Idk- just a reminder as kdrama consumer that these people are ACTORS and also that their persona is just a product- not something I should actually believe is their true selves.

I've been following the KSH issue and I wonder how people are reacting to Salt Entertainment's response (or lack thereof)? Not sure if it's at KSH's direction but Salt Ent's statements have been basically nothing. While I believe a pregnancy and abortion occurred, I'm not sure I believe everything else as it came off as sudden and angry. Note, KSH didn't admit to anything, just apologized. Also, we haven't heard anything on how he is doing and I get worried about celeb's and their mental health. Rumor was that he checked into a hospital last week but we haven't heard or seen anything. His college friends and some staff on Hometown ChaChaCha have even come out in silent support of him. KBS edited him out of the latest episode of 2D1N but at least didn't blur him out if he did appear - although tvn did after he won an award for Start Up. Also curious about his sponsors/ads, I saw that some sponsors have unarchived some of his ads - but heard that Domino's is facing backlash for taking his ad down. I do think he will be able to return at some point, but hopefully his mental health is OK. This is reminding me of Ahn Jaehyun's divorce and he had to take a few years off.

Regarding Kim Seon Ho, we don’t have enough facts or evidence to be judging someone on their personal life. I’m not trying to defend him as I do think he was careless in the way he handled his relationship especially being at the peak of his career. However, she never mentioned it was forced abortion, he persuaded her, and in the end, it was her final decision as it’s her body. They remained in a relationship 9 months after the abortion and then he broke up with her. 80% of her post is focused on her being hurt by feeling neglected by him and not going through the marriage. Relationships can fall apart and for various reasons. During breakups most of the time someone is hurt more, and you feel resentful towards that person and as shitty the person was, their private life should not be made public. Now she wants privacy, probably because her identity got revealed. How can celebrities now date normal citizens after this? It’s going to be too risky knowing that they can reveal everything at any moment.

So my thoughts on Kim Seon Ho, I haven’t watched any shows that he’s in so I’m not familiar with him as an actor. After Watching your DK news report on the situation these are my thoughts: this does seem like a messy situation and in these situations it’s always best to have all the details. Unfortunately people on the web can’t get those details and shouldn’t since it is such a private matter. Since he did go out and apologies, I’m guessing that’s an admittance of guilt and at least some of the parts of what the woman said was true. Since that’s the case, that really is not acceptable behavior. Manipulating and threatening your girlfriend in regards to an unwanted baby is not right. I can see why he didn’t want a baby, but now that it’s there you should deal with the situation in a mature manner. Well what’s done is done, and she got the abortion. I do see why the woman would be spiteful against him, that being said her response a few days later to the original post was a bit worrying. It seems what she really wanted was for him to take responsibility and apologize, which she got through public scrutiny. Sucks that that’s how it had to go. After a quick google search I see that he was hospitalized a couple days ago... the reason is unclear. Again, I don’t think his actions are defendable and he should compensate for them... but I mean, it seems like his career has been ruined, if not permanently then at least temporarily. All his future and current gigs canceled, even the past gigs that he has been edited out of. To me, this is a bit harsh and maybe relates to Korean cancel culture.

I may be in the minority, but I think that the girlfriend made her own decisions and she should not able to ruin someone's career over it. Unless he tied her up and took her to the abortion clinic, she made a gamble that he would marry her, and it didn't pay off and now she's mad. I am a woman by way. But, he was a bad boyfriend. Edit: in light of new information, he doesn't seem like such a bad boyfriend.
