In mid-November, the Korean entertainment industry was already ignited by a scandal in just a few days.

Lee Byung-hun was blackmailed. To be honest, no one cared about the crimes of the two women. Everyone looked at Lee's disqualified performance in this case... Well, who made Lee Actor Lee the top male actor in South Korea and one of the representative figures of Korean movies?

To put it even to be a bad word, if the person who happened to be Lee Byung-hun was not Lee Byung-hun, how many people care about this kind of news? In fact, the day after the news broke, not just South Korea, but even the portals of China and Japan followed up and reported the specific case with a subtle mentality.

This is really embarrassing to the other side of the Yellow Sea.

Moreover, the so-called wave has not yet subsided and started again. Just one and a half days later, BH Company actually reported the case again and brought up another blackmail case. It turned out that after Lee Byung-hun, the number one actress, was blackmailed by Han Hyo-joo, was also blackmailed, and the reasons are very similar. This time it was an indecent photo!

That's right, things have been upgraded, and this upgrade seems to be continuing.

In fact, just that night, the powerful Korean media successfully obtained the blackmail video that should have been sealed in the prosecutor's evidence box. Lee Byung-hun's ugly and explicit words in the video further triggered collective condemnation from the public and the media.

Affected by this, a large number of otaku also began to seek "indecent photos" of Han Hyo-joo on the Internet...

In short, for a moment, these two events, which were already very integrated, quickly triggered a national carnival in South Korea. Every progress of the matter and every strange rumor can cause the news media to quickly update and follow up, and then trigger netizens to tear each other in various spaces. Immediately, Bigit Company and BH Entertainment were completely paralyzed, and the vulnerable idols were banned as usual. Actresses who had cooperated with Lee Byung-hun were also surrounded and intercepted. Those who had scandals were even consumed by the media. Various pornographic jokes about Lee Daguanren and actresses were flying all over the sky on kakao, and Han Hyo-joo's unbearable rumors and gossips are naturally indispensable...

For a moment, the entire entertainment industry was silent!

In this case, even the review of Kim Jong-ming praising Han Hyo-joo on SNS was pulled in.

Someone came over gloatingly and asked below how Kim Jong-ming felt when he was slapped in the face? Did he feel like he was deceived?

Some people also brought this review seriously when posting articles on the Internet, linking them up and down, contributing to their conspiracy theories or ass.

Of course, Han Hyo-joo's fans are indispensable to come over and begging Kim Jong-ming to say something to their idol...

In response to this, Kim Jong-ming replied, "The pure one will be clear", and then ignored it again. Uh, as for how to understand this kind of thing? It depends entirely on what you think.

Next, I don’t know if it is because South Korea is too small that the hot issues last longer, or because this matter is really eye-catching, or because some big names have had scandals recently, so news needs to be covered up... In short, the development of this matter is gradually shown in a state of coordination among the whole society.

Not only entertainment media, government officials, advertisers, formal news media, non-governmental organizations, and industry associations were almost all involved. And soon, this linkage effect made a realistic breakthrough.

By the way, Korean netizens like to be the leader, just like when Kang Ho-dong decided to retire, someone had a joint signature on the Internet to retain him; and in the Tara incident, some netizens also made collective signatures and demanded the truth, and there were even some citizen rights organizations who wanted to go to the CCM company to conduct on-site investigations and prepare for a three-party trial. Kim Kwang-soo, a brainless man, was ready to agree at the time... Of course, before the latter could launch Kim Jong-ming, he quickly took action.

And this time, these people still launched an online signature campaign first.

The starter was probably a group of feminists. They claimed that they felt disgusted after watching Lee Byung-hun's video, and felt uncomfortable in various subsequent commercial advertisements because they found Lee Byung-hun's figure, so they launched a joint signature campaign asking Lee Daguan to withdraw from the advertising industry. You can't say that this event quickly received a large-scale response on the Internet. What's even more surprising is that some highly targeted advertisers really attach great importance to the female group. Several cosmetics and bedding merchants really quickly removed the relevant advertisements and said that they would reserve the right to prosecute economic losses to Lee Byung-hun and BH Company.

This time, the nature of the matter changed because it involved real money!

On the other hand, thanks to the low attitude of the merchants, netizens have gained a great sense of presence, and further aroused their enthusiasm, and the Internet has become more and more popular. At the same time, many so-called high-level people who were not very concerned about this romantic news couldn't help but correct their attitude at this time, preparing to show some enthusiasm to add fuel to the fire, or simply want to show their presence and voice like netizens.

As a result, the bh company was surrounded even more tightly, and Han Hyo-joo's affairs gradually developed into a certain unbearable situation.

"President Sun, what exactly is Mr. Lee Byung-hun back?" That morning, Sun Xiyu, who was delaying to come to the company to continue to stand for a day, was surrounded by a reporter at the door with his body.

"Aren't you guarding here, airport, and home every day? Why do you ask me this kind of question?" Sun Xiyu, who had a briefcase, had always maintained face to all parties, but the development of things these days made him realize that he was no longer necessary, so he just gave up. Don't say that, this practice has instead brought back some unrelated people like the company upstairs.

"Maybe I was a little unclear just now. I actually want to ask, President Sun, as Mr. Lee Byung-hun's agent and president of the agency, do you know why Mr. Lee Byung-hun has been unwilling to return to China to face everyone's doubts? Why is he unwilling to return to China to cooperate with the procuratorate to discuss the case? Why is he unwilling to give a comprehensive explanation to the public about this incident that is obviously his moral disqualification? Isn't he a Korean public? Didn't his wealth and social status be obtained by the public's love?"

"Good question." Sun Xiyu glanced at the reporter who had been prepared. "I said it very clearly, and there were no blind spots in logic... Binghun is indeed obliged to make a public statement, but now he will not come, so I am indeed obliged to explain this abnormal phenomenon."

"Then you..."

"Stop." Sun Xiyu waved his hand and interrupted the other party's performance. "I know, if you don't give you an explanation, you won't let me live. When I came this morning, I found that there were people following my doorsteps... Don't you want the answer? Why did Binghun stay in the United States and not come back, right?"

"right!"

"Then I'll give you an answer." Sun Xiyu was really about to break the jar. "Listen, remember! And don't ask me this question again in the future!"

The reporters remained silent, as if they were silently mocking the other party’s request, and seemed to be waiting for the other party’s answer.

"The answer is Kim Jong-ming." Sun Xiyu continued gritting his teeth. "Go and ask him!"

After saying that, while the reporters were stunned, President Sun squeezed hard and successfully got out of the cracks, and then disappeared behind the security staff in the office building in a blink of an eye.

It was obvious that this person escaped.

"So you found me." Jin Zhongming met the reporters waiting for the rabbit without hesitation.

By the way, this is in front of the SBS building of Mudong, which is also the most common starting shooting scene for the program "Runningman" in 2013. At the same time, it is probably the only place for journalists to ensure that they can find the person in front of them. And this guarantee does not seem to last too long, because there have been rumors that Kim Jong-ming seems to be tired of the program "Runningman" and is about to leave. However, this is not that he has finally changed his mind and is not ready to play variety shows, but that he is increasingly showing the disagreement with the people in the SBS Variety Show. In addition, he is indeed getting busier and busier, so he may only cooperate with Luo Yingshi in the future to play the small variety show that can be clicked at any time.

But no matter what, in fact, no one can control what variety show this person chooses. For now, there is still a way to block people and ask a question, right? Just for this point, even compared with Lee Hae-jin, who is the most civilian-style, Kim Jong-ming is admirable.

"To be honest, today is not a good time to answer questions." Before the reporters could ask, Kim Jong-ming couldn't help but shake his head. "It's time to change to Xika to commit violence this week. I don't know what she would come up with a sensational plan... Forget it, it seems that you don't know what I'm talking about, a niche variety show... In short, you can ask!"

"Lee Byung-hun...Sir? I knew you would ask him."

"There is indeed some interference. Isn't there a collective petition on the Internet to ask him to withdraw from the Korean film industry? And the public opinion is surging. Our Artist Mutual Assistance Committee and the Executive Committee of the Nine Film Associations communicated with each other. In order to purify the movie environment, after passing the confirmation of the prosecutor and the parties involved, he believed that there was no doubt that he had moral disqualification, so he took the initiative to communicate with him and suggested that he retire according to the audience's request..."

"Don't be so surprised. Things have not yet been settled. We are just making suggestions and showing our attitudes on behalf of the industry association. There is no compulsory effect. In fact, the association is still waiting for his reply. If he accepts it, there should be a formal written retirement statement sent. If he cannot accept it, he should return to China as soon as possible to express his attitude to the public and the association, right?"

"Yes, you are very careful. I didn't call him senior but sir from the beginning. That's what I mean."

"Xiaozhu? Why should I show a serious attitude towards Xiaozhu? Even if it is the so-called 'similar moral flaw' you say...is there any evidence?"

"There is definitely an attitude. In fact, from the perspective of the committee and the executive committee, as long as there is no certain evidence, it is necessary to unconditionally support and maintain the reputation of the artist!"

"Of course, should this be the case. Will there be a second consideration? If there is evidence, you will definitely show your attitude seriously. If there is no evidence, you should show your attitude seriously. Otherwise, what is the significance of our two associations? You must be the will of the people and industry groups!"

"Yes, tangible evidence is a watershed in the fundamental attitude, and only the prosecutor and the parties ensure the accuracy of the evidence."

"This may be very ugly...but your media is indeed not qualified. This ineligibility not only means that you must unconditionally and singlely obey the prosecutor's opinions in determining the truth, but also have the so-called manifestation of will. In other words, we need to directly listen to the voices of the people, and compared with the specific reports of your media, we hope to see things like polls."

"It's not that you will be fake, but that you are not pure. The artist industry, especially movie actors, has the root power of the three categories of audience, themselves, and industry people. What about your media? Not only has a certain sense of independence, but also has to be mixed with many factors such as ideology, advertisers, shareholders, and social stability... From the perspective of journalism, this is no problem, and it is even a good thing to a certain extent! But society is developing. Since social media can now intuitively reflect the basic attitude of the people, why do we need to look at your processing of public opinion in one go?"

"Oh, I probably understand what you mean. You want to say that the processing of your media will make public opinion more professional and rational, while the direct expression of the people will appear blind and foolish... Why don't you just tell the people directly but want to tell me this? The camera is always on."

"It's inevitable. We're doing a show. SBS TV's cameras have been shooting. I guess you can get on SBS news tonight or at noon. If you know them, you can ask them to code you... Is it really necessary?"

"A purely private view... Hyo-joo?"

"I think it should be fine, because this so-called pornographic case is fatal to artists who rely on audience love and recognition to survive. So since the case was reported and unconditionally exposed to the prosecution, the media and the public, there are only two reasons. One is that she feels that she is destined to be unable to hide it, and dies early and is entrusted to life; the other is that the purity will be cleared! As a particularly sensitive female artist, Xiaozhu can face such a case calmly and contact the prosecutor directly on the afternoon of the day she learned the news. I can only think she is justified."

"Of course, the same thing is the case. Everything depends on the prosecutor's investigation. Their final investigation results are the common basis for our colleagues and the public, and of course your media. I hope to solve the case soon..."

"There is no insider information, purely personal trust, and logical rational reasoning... But I really think the prosecutor shouldn't let us wait too long, because although the amount involved in the case of Xiaozhu is very small, the impact is quite great after all, and there is traffic on the accounts... Didn't her father make money? Just follow the clues, the truth should be revealed right in front of him."

"It's not that the senior executives in the industry hate or like anyone, nor that I have had a holiday with or with whom I have a relationship...but two words, fair!"

"It's fair! For Mr. Lee Byung-hun, who has a high status, experienced and wide network of contacts, if there is no association to extend public opinion, it will probably be left unresolved. This is unfair to the audience and the film peers who have been adversely affected by this. We will not argue with the legal issues, it is the responsibility of the procuratorate and the court, but moral condemnation and the maintenance of industry atmosphere are the responsibility of each of us! By the same token, Xiaozhu also has the word fairness! You cannot bear this unreasonable malice just because she and Lee Byung-hun are in the same company. As long as she is innocent from a legal perspective, we will protect her to the end."

"Lee Jiyeon and Kim Do-hee? You finally remember that they are also artists... They are not filmmakers, but just from the perspective of the Artist Rights Mutual Aid Committee, there should be a fairness for them. We have had serious internal discussions and integrated online polls... Let's just say, Lee Jiyeon has nothing to say. Whether it is according to what she said that the mistress wants to take office, or according to what BH company claims to have just been an ordinary friend relationship before, she is the substantive planner of the entire incident. From a moral perspective, we have nothing to regret and maintain. But Kim Do-hee..."

"You have to understand that Kim Do-hee is not only young, but more importantly, she is obviously encouraged and utilized. So from the perspective of the Artist Mutual Aid Committee, she will provide legal aid and convey public opinion... Wait until I finish it... If our committee only gives Han Hyo-joo a fairness, or gives Lee Byung-hun only a 'fairness', then is the 'fairness' of the Artist Mutual Aid Committee only aimed at rich artists and powerful companies? Are marginal artists in small companies and circles just a weed and ignored? Then what is the meaning of such fairness?"

"What did you say just now? Oh, interfere with the judiciary. I think you are biased and no one is qualified to interfere with the judiciary. You must understand that providing legal aid is the obligation of our committee, and conveying public opinion is the power we exercise in accordance with the law. For the latter and your obvious disobedience just now, I would like to emphasize one thing, that is, the prosecutors and judges also have the power to refuse or partially adopt our transfer according to law. They have their rights, and we have our rights!"

"In other words, we respect courts unconditionally, but in the moral field, our industry associations must also respect public opinion unconditionally. This is the fundamental significance of the existence of us ngo organizations and industry associations in Korean society! The soft organization of society, isn't it?"

"Don't you understand? Do you, a group of experienced journalists, still need me, a young man, to teach you a lesson here? Let's say the second sentence today is not good. If South Korea does not have these numerous committees and associations, just government agencies will do things, this society would have been paralyzed! Hyundai Motor's union has never set a strike? The Women's Rights Committee has not blocked the door at the gate of the parliament? What is the Goguryeo Historical Truth Committee has not submitted a petition to the Blue House, asking the authorities to adopt their history textbooks? There are various churches all over the streets of South Korea. Does the Supreme Constitutional Court completely abolish the death penalty every year? What Human Rights Commission has just submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court, demanding the abolition of adultery? Even your journalist Federation publicly condemned the security personnel who beat you up a few days ago. Are these things? We can't do what they do, what you do?"

"Why don't you talk?"

"Gratitude? Our fairness does not need to be grateful! Because associations are collectives, they are not specific people, they do not need to be grateful... me?"

"Does Kim Jong-ming care about who is grateful or hated? I am the one who is responsible for contacting Lee Byung-hun. Will I care about people like this hate me or not hate me? As for Hyo-joo and Kim Do-hee, do I need them to be grateful or not grateful? Let's say the third bad thing today. It has been more than 8 years since I participated in the movie quota movement in 2005. Now, can't you see clearly? I, Kim Jong-ming, do you still need to see who else's eyes? It's enough to be worthy of your own thoughts! Of course, I can ignore this bad thing, but I just have a fair thought in my heart. So what?"

"It's over after the interview. I have to record the show here, and I have to be worried that my Maomao will cause me trouble. I don't want to say too much."

The Korean media flocked in torment and retreated with satisfaction or depression. Subsequently, with the broadcast of SBS TV station as it was and the reports of this interview by various media outlets, some interesting changes occurred in the public opinion on the Korean Internet.

Well, one thing we must admit here is that public opinion is indeed a good thing at some point, and Korean public opinion is especially a good thing... because public opinion is the most basic political correctness in the country in the cooking of the country. For Korean people, their own ideas can break through authority and be respected, and they can temporarily jump out of the dull life and gain a certain sense of existence on the Internet. That is simply exciting!

Let’s not talk about Koreans here, ordinary people all over the world have similar pursuits, which is also an essential reason for the rise of social media. On the other hand, with the development of the Internet, traditional media have gradually found that their influence is weakening, and a large amount of influence has been transferred to the unscrupulous self-media. The self-media that lives on social media will unconditionally obey public opinion or disguise it as public opinion, which makes the powerful traditional media a little at a loss and scruples.

When you return to South Korea, you have to admit that one place is the land and the other people. The extremeness and explosive execution of Koreans in the public opinion movement will some extent catalyze some things. In fact, as more and more authorities and senior executives endorse public opinion, the enthusiasm of Koreans to participate in this matter has reached a peak. They can't wait to become the arbitrators in this matter and want to see the implementation of "their opinions".

So, they began to urge the prosecution to speed up the investigation of Han Hyo-joo's case, and began to expand the signature movement to put pressure on Lee Byung-hun in order to formally withdraw from the Korean entertainment industry. Various NGO organizations began to write letters to the prosecution, demanding a light sentence of Lee Ji-yeon, who had just turned 20, and began to criticize those experts and celebrities who said "out of public opinion"... The "public opinion" was caring, the old-style authority was retreating, the new-style authority was observing and integrating, and everything was developing rapidly in a panic-oriented direction.

First of all, Lee Byung-hun. Perhaps seeing what happened here, Mr. Lee finally broke his silence. He sent a statement from Los Angeles, apologized to the public, apologized to his family and colleagues, apologized to the entire industry, expressed his willingness to give up his litigation rights against the two criminals, and expressed his willingness to leave the Korean entertainment industry to reflect on himself... Of course, compared with other objects declared, the prosecution is probably the only group that refuted this statement, because the amount of this case is extremely large and a standard criminal case, Lee Byung-hun's abandonment of the litigation seems meaningless.

However, the prosecution is not a vegetarian. While refuting the statement with reasonable evidence and expressing that it would reasonably accept public opinions, they also announced their good achievements in the past two days - Han Hyo-joo's case has been revealed.

It turned out that the person who committed the crime was an outsider. Because his family had some personal relationship with Han Hyo-joo's family, he had a way of communication with his father. After the Lee Byung-hun incident sparked public opinion, he was short of money and was planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in the waste.

"There is no indecent photos." The spokesperson of the Seoul District Procuratorate replied. "We obtained the consent of the victim Mr. Han and his daughter to publish and verify this information as the prosecutor. There is no indecent photos. At that time, the electronic photos sent by the suspect to the victim Mr. Han were normal photos of Ms. Han taken by him in previous family gatherings. He simply copied the code and misleading blur. Mr. Han was older and didn't understand these things, so he believed them to be true, so he transferred money... Later, after Miss Han Hyo-joo learned about the matter, she immediately stated to her father that she would not show any disqualification. Mr. Han suddenly realized, and the two chose to call the police after discussing with the agency."

"How to do follow-up treatment? This is really hard to say, because according to Korean law, extortion of public and private property must be a large amount or multiple extortions to constitute a criminal crime. Unlike Mr. Lee Byung-hun's incident, the extortion here only has one separate negotiation, and the amount involved is very small, which is definitely less than the criminal number stipulated in the Criminal Law... It is obvious that the suspect had considered this at that time. It is worth mentioning that because the victim and the suspect have a close relationship, both parties intend to settle out of court. If the parties Han Hyo-joo and his daughter choose to give up the lawsuit and submit a written statement to us, because the requirements for criminal crimes have not been met, the case may be closed."

For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar. However, it may be that there was a prelude before, so Han Hyo-joo, who had been in a state of embarrassment before, achieved an image reversal without any pressure. Many people even boasted on the Internet, how wise and calmly he distinguished Lee Byung-hun and Han Hyo-joo...

"Why didn't I know that we have such a relative in our family?" Just as the dust settled outside, the quasi-film queen who had been reversed in Han Hyo-joo's home could not feel at all.

"I know." Han Xiaozhu is a military family. Although her father is far from her active general as a general of her uncle, he is also in his idle position as an Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel. He still has the attitude of a soldier in his words. "Just sign the disclaimer as I mean, it's enough to save relatives from doing it."

"Do you want me to forgive me for doing such a thing? I won't sign it!" Han Xiaozhu retorted angrily. "Just you just need to return it? Why did you make things like that before if you know??"

"How did it happen?" Han's father stared at his stupid daughter disapprovingly. "Without this, our relative, blackmailed us. For the matter caused by Lee Byung-hun, let alone the image reversal, do you really think you can get out of nothing? Can you continue to imagine the Qinglong Moon Queen as you are now?"

"What does it mean?" Han Xiaozhu was stunned, as if she had thought of some possibilities from her father's words.

"What's the point?" Han's father looked at his daughter helplessly. "Do you have to make it clear? Isn't this for your own good? For this matter, your uncle promised that when he was in the military service, he would take care of his younger brother as a service soldier in his general's mansion, and all his relatives would do what they needed... Don't let everyone down!"

Han Xiaozhu was stunned for a long time, and then finally got confused and lowered her head in a daze and picked up the pen. Just as she was about to write her name on the written disclaimer, she suddenly raised her head: "It's still wrong!"

"What's wrong?!" Han's father, who had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, almost choked. "Do you sign it?"

"Of course, signing will be signed, but..." Han Hyo-joo asked in disguise. "But why did Kim Jong-ming cooperate so well with you? You can invite relatives and him?!"

Han’s father frowned and put the teacup back: “Don’t I ask you this? Haven’t your relationship been good all the time?”

"What are you asking me?" Han Xiaozhu felt that her outlook on life was about to collapse today. "I just offended him to death!"

"Is it a sin for him?" Han's father stared at his daughter with confusion and said. "But he clearly reminded us to do this. It was the night before the incident, he called your uncle. At that time, your uncle was still looking forward to asking me if it is possible for you two... what's going on?"

Han Hyo-joo thought for a while, but finally didn't say a word to her father, but picked up the pen directly... She knew that even if she said something, her father wouldn't understand it. As for Kim Jong-ming... besides being both hated and grateful, she could only convince the other party's coquettish operation.

However, when Han Xiaozhu thought of the synthetic photos on the Internet, she tried too hard and actually directly pressed the tip of the pen.

Damn it!
