Park Yuchun nim, I don’t know who you are and have never heard about you lifting a skirt hem while singing nor seen you making up a fictitious story to deceive a conscience while dancing. If there is a part you must take responsibility in receiving criticism, it’s natural to take it. Because it’s the profession you lived obtaining popularity and prestige. But the media reports right now are really barbaric. I hope you are not suffering more than necessary from these hyena-presses.

Mass culture critic Kim Young-sam Twitter Update: JTBC’s shewed reporting

[TRANS]
JTBC Newsroom did biased reporting and irresponsible reporting, consciously and unconsciously. There wasn’t an apology or corrected report after Park Yuchun case was spitted out as an exclusive, and is a spot they had ignored even on an amendment of the Press Law which stuck a big blow to freedom of speech. Their lopsided report on the situation of ‘Megal[ia]’ is also not a surprise..

Fatal in blow to a celebrity…"False accusation is a serious crime" – Yuchun mentioned

[News report beginning about Lee Jin-wook’s scandal]

[…]

Park Yuchun-ssi also was exonerated of sexual assault but his sensitive, untouched private life was exposed.

<Recording> Park Yuchun’s agency official : “Besides the calumny, we will be proceeding with a defamation and damage claim suit after the prosecution’s investigation is complete.”

Celebrities are approached to be sought out for a point like such because it is fatal in the case a scandal in regards to his sex life is exposed.

They are even being demanded of a large sum of settlement money while getting threatened with a secret filming of his sex life and it going public to the media.

The action of a false accusation like this is a grave crime that abuses the judicial system and drives a person into ruin.
