The following are not my comments. They’re taken from weibo, and if I’m not wrong, they got it from DC (I can’t read korean so I’m not too sure which post it was)
A reporter left a story on DC, it is assumed to be an analogy.
There is a child who is the eldest son of the family. To support the family, this child has to go to work every day. This child is really capable, and takes really good care of his younger siblings, and allowing the family to prosper. However, the family keeps asking the child to return home to help with household chores. This child has a big project to complete, but still returns home to help. He feels sorry for his companions regarding the big project but he doesn’t have a choice. When he returns home once, things happened. The big project has already caused the child to have no time to sleep, but he still has to work overnight to go home and help with things, and goes back to work the next morning. The decrease in efficiency makes him feel sorry towards his colleagues and company, but the calls from home are still as frequent.
Reporter’s comments: I feel really upset over this. In this industry, there’s nothing I haven’t seen, but this doesn’t diminish the hurt and upset I am feeling.
I hurt from familiar people, he only drank a few cups of coffee throughout the night to keep himself awake, and didn’t eat much before having to go for his overseas schedules. Previously, he had refused to accept any schedules and asked the company to let him focus on his project, it is something an actor would naturally want. However the company didn’t listen. Without sleep and food, and he had an event to rush for, it is natural for him to feel tired. The coffee in his hands is really no different from an energizer.
Just like what he said, in a situation where he did wrong, If it was someone who was really familiar and had enough practice with these situations, they would immediately change their attitude after saying “aiyo”. Although it is not good, but it is the truth. Don’t listen to one-sided stories, but such a short video and photo cannot prove anything. The witnesses are also no where to be seen, I can only feel upset.
I think there was also an article on daum about Hong Jin Kyung’s comments.
She said she initially didn’t take much notice of Jongsuk, but started to like Jongsuk after seeing his apology.
She said: He looks really sincere, and even said that he was the company’s “main product”. So all these (reports) can stop now! The act of attacking him for scoops should also stop!
