Blind Items Revealed #5 - Anniversary Month
October 3, 2011
Korea: My source for the one above and this one says that for the one below from Korea that there was actually a cell phone video of it but that one of the managers grabbed the phone and smashed it. The memory card came out in the smashing and he grabbed it. This A++ female singer was at a press conference announcing a new CD and tour and other projects she was working on. All kinds of standard stuff. Well, she got off the stage and went backstage and her manager was there and in front of about five people began beating her. Not just slaps, but like a physical beating. It was going to end horribly until someone finally pulled him off her. The reason? She never mentioned him or thanked him during the press conference. Get this. Later SHE apologized to him and begged him to continue as her manager.

I really don't keep track of alphabet listings on the opposite side of the globe. Very narcissistic of me, I'm sure.
That's sad, but apparently not unusual. The New Yorker recently ran a review of a new translation of a Korean satire that was recently published called "At Least We Can Apologize," satirizing the Korean penchant for apologizing for everything. The book is about two minor criminals who meet in prison, where they are regularly beaten until they discover that they can lessen their punishment if they apologize for their crimes. They quickly run out of things to apologize for though and have to begin making things up. Then they discover that if they apologize for the same thing twice they'll be beaten more, not less, so they have to come up with something new to apologize for every day. Eventually the escape from prison, but lacking any skills they're at a loss to support themselves until finally they decide to take advantage of the one thing they can do really well, and become professional apologizers.
ReplyDeleteI have read/heard horrible things about kpop stars and how they are forcibly passed around.
ReplyDeleteOMG. She's getting lots of hate in Korea right now because she just released an album with some allegedly Lolita elements. The way I see it she was just venting her experiences, and now she's the one being called a pedo.
ReplyDeleteNever mind that South Korea was the one who pushed the Lolita concept on her in the first place. :( :( :(
This is upsetting. I thought her manager was nice.
