[Article Translation] Chef Lee Won Il's fiancée Kim Yoo Jin PD accused of being a violent school bully, couple quits the show 'Don't Be Jealous'

      , , , ,     Comments



Original Source (Yonhap News via Naver News): Kim Yoo Jin PD-Lee Won Il bow their heads at the school violence allegations..."We will apologize directly"

 NOTE: In December, Chef Lee Won Il announced his engagement to Kim Yoo Jin, a freelancer PD for the variety show 'Omniscient Interfering View.' The couple came out together on the show 'Don't Be Jealous' where real-life celebrity couples showed an inside look at their relationship. On the show, this couple showed themselves preparing for their upcoming wedding.

 On the 21st, a user uploaded a post on Nate Pann titled, "The soon-to-bride PD who is told she looks like a celebrity on 'Don't Be Jealous' is an attacker of a group assault". The OP wrote that in 2008 in Auckland, New Zealand, she was a victim of a group assault that involved 8 to 10 people and one of those people was Kim Yoo Jin PD. The OP provided a detailed report of the incident. The OP also added,"There are comments saying that I uploaded this post because I'm jealous of Kim Yoo Jin PD. I'm not a person that's jealous of fame. I uploaded this post because she never apologized to me and it was hard for me to watch her being happy on the show." (t/n: In the Nate Pann post, the OP provided screenshot of places on Google Maps and wrote a detailed report of how she was physically assaulted by Lee Yoo Jin PD and her group of friends)

 After the OP uploaded their post on Nate Pann, chef Lee Won Il announced via his agency that the couple will be leaving the show and on his Instagram account, he uploaded an apology letter that was written by the couple. In his apology note, Lee Won Il wrote, "I would like to deeply bow and apologize for the discomfort that was caused by the controversy that involves my fiancée. Regardless of the truth, my heart is heavy that [our appearance] reminded someone of their past wounds. I apologize for causing so much worries."

 Kim Yoo Jin PD wrote in her apology statement, "Regardless of the truth, I would like to sincerely apologize to the victims who were hurt by my actions and who weren't able to forget the pain for a long time. I will directly reach out to them [the victims] and apologize. Although you might be too angry to face me, I hope you can give me the opportunity to apologize to you sincerely."

 The OP of the post is currently living in New Zealand. In 2008, the OP was 16 years old and alleged that she was physically assaulted by a group that consisted of Kim Yoo Jin PD and her friends. The OP heard something about Kim PD's boyfriend B and another boy C. She said things began to happen after Kim PD's friends forced the OP to tell them what it was. 


After C heard about the things that were being said about him, he threatened OP by saying, "I'm going to screw up your life to the point where you can't keep your head up." OP claims that they told her that they will arrange a place for her to apologize and told her to come to the Aotea Square. 

 OP claims that at Aotea Square, she was slapped with Kim PD's slipper and after she collapsed, they started to beat her up. OP also wrote, "A few weeks later, I went to the city and went to the parking lot where the perpetrators were at. 8-10 perpetrators were there and gathered up. They said, "Why are you going around saying things like that?" and began shoving me and slapping my cheek. They took me to a noraebang (karaoke) after people began staring. While they were singing, they began hitting my head and my abdominal area." 

 After getting beaten up at the noraebang, they took her back to the parking lot and Kim PD who saw OP said, "I didn't have plans of doing this. My friends are a bit like that. You messed with the wrong person and just think of it as if you stepped on poop (had shitty luck) and don't show your face in the city again."

 After this assault, OP developed depression, couldn't attend school that much and began receiving psychiatric treatment. OP wrote, "The leader Kim PD never apologized to me and returned to Korea."

 In their original post, the OP also posted screenshots of her messages with her friends from this time and asked things like if they remember her getting beaten up and the friends would respond and confirm that they do and they can't forget that. A few days after the reports came out, OP uploaded screenshots of messages she received from Kim Yoo Jin PD on Kakaotalk but people pointed out how although Kim Yoo Jin said she's sorry, she kept using 반말 (informal way of speech, usually used between close friend, in a relaxed setting or used when talking down to someone who's younger) while the victim was being formal while using 존댓말 (formal way of speech, showing respect). Commenters were saying that the PD was being rude even with the apology and felt like she was just trying to get this whole situation over with. 

1. [+10801 / -34] Why are you disregarding the truth? If it's the truth then it's the truth~~ Their apology sounds like they're just apologizing although it's not the truth~~ They're both the same~~ *tsk tsk*

 2. [+5274 / -22] "Regardless of the truth... I'm sorry..." Is this supposed to be an apology ㅋㅋ It's not the truth but you want to meet in person and apologize? Relearn Korean.

 3. [+3918 / -14] ㅋㅋ;; They wanted you to apologize but you write: "Regardless of the truth" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If you're not going to address the truth then is there a point of apologizing??;; Aren't you apologizing because it [the allegations] is the truth? If not, if it's completely false then it's obvious that you don't need to apologize. But you're apologizing because it's the truth ㅋ But "regardless of the truth"? Till the very end, you're mocking and looking down on the victim ㅋㅋ I don't consider you guys as people who are uneducated so you lack word choices.. ㅋ

 4. [+2355 / -14] The world is quite unfair, it's a world where the perpetrators live well

 5. [+2079 / -26] Why is Kim Yoo Jin using the words, "Regardless of the truth"... Because it's 100% the truth, you should definitely acknowledge it and apologize for your mistake  
Original Source (JoongAng Ilbo via Naver News): Variety shows are getting an increase in appearances from non-celebrities...They're shaking in fear about their past school violence affairs

 1. [+9946 / -24] Don't try to apologize sincerely with "Regardless of the truth". Address the truth or sue for slander. If it's the truth then sincerely apologize. But since you already said you're apologizing sincerely regardless of the truth.... I can't sense your sincerity. 

 2. [+7256 / -23] Young people, watch carefully and remember. If you commit bad actions like hitting your friends or bothering them, then later on when you become an adult or someone who some people become jealous of, you need to understand that everything can come crumbling down in a minute because of that bad things you committed when you were younger... 

 3. [+3021 / -26] Kim Yoo Jin said that she's gonna apologize but says, "Regardless of the truth"... Hmm.... It seems like she didn't have any intention of apologizing and just wanted to sweep over the current situation. It wasn't that she just hit one or two people, she was like on the level of a gangster. Look at her face, she looks vicious... 
↪ [+246 / -0] When they said school violence, I thought it was her ostracizing someone or bullying/teasing them but she called over her boyfriend and his friends to beat up the victim. She and her group of 8-10 friends mocked the victim and attacked her, isn't that a crime and not just school violence? 

 4. [+2728 / -16] "Regardless of the truth...." These words are a bit iffy

 5. [+1601 / -7] Kim Yoo Jin wrote in her statement that she's going to apologize to the victim but she wrote, "Regardless of the truth"?? What is she saying??
t/n: Just to clarify, this is a screenshot from one of the first episodes of the show. This aired before the allegations came out. She cried because she revealed that she's sensitive of how people view the couple's age difference. He's 40 and she's 29.
Original Source (Hankyoreh via Naver News): Kim Yoo Jin PD who's suspected of committing 'school violence' uploads a written apology...Also quits the variety show

 1. [+5528 / -28] "Regardless of the truth, my heart is heavy that [our appearance] reminded someone of their past wounds."... Seeing the prerequisite, they must have not come to senses, huh? It's not too late for this chef, he should think hard about this marriage ㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+2935 / -22] "Regardless of the truth"??? Why is it regardless of the truth, you crazy woman.. Her apology was wrong from the get-go.....

3. [+2652 / -14] You can say that a perpetrator of school violence is a real devil... They ruin one person's life and they live their life without realizing their mistakes... School violence is still occurring now but they think that if you apologize later, it will wrap it up... I think that we should really banish perpetrators of school violence from society.

4. [+1844 / -24] She's the type of person who will go and pull her mother-in-law's hair if her husband does something she doesn't like. Young people, watch carefully - if you immaturely both your friends or assault them, this will come out in 10-15 years. So be cautious of committing school violence.  

5. [+1652 / -55] If it was the guy (Lee Won Il) who did this, groups of people will denounce it and they would break off the engagement but because it's the girl, people are just letting it go... If I was Won Il, I wouldn't look back and just break off the engagement... People never change easily...

[Article Translation] Lim Song manager gives an update about her recent whereabouts and reveals why she quit being Park Sung Kwang's manager

      , ,     Comments

t/n: She did an interview with the YouTube channel '근황올림픽'. She revealed that she joined a new entertainment company last July and she currently has two jobs as a manager and a YouTuber. In the interview, Lim Song confessed that she felt a lot of burden when she was filming 'Omniscient Interfering View', "I kept seeing my mistakes. I didn't like myself. There was also a lot of hate comments. There were so many that insulted my appearance. The time that there was the most hate comments was when my mom and grandma came out on the show. That was really stressful. Because things like that kept building up, my health deteriorated. My gynecological health deteriorated. I also went to the emergency room a lot. My body became lethargic, I developed anxiety and depression. I had the thought, ''Let's just quit all this and leave.' A week after I quit the job, I got surgery. I removed tumors and there was also a separate case of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). There was a lot of blood loss so the anemia got worse and I couldn't drive. I was scared of that so I did the surgery. I'm currently recovering."

She revealed that she's still in contact with Park Sung Kwang.   

1. [+14678 / -91] What is there to talk shit about Song-ie, those meanies.
↪ [+163 / -2] Song-ie, there's more people who are supporting you~ Keep your head up ^♡^

2. [+8620 / -62] She quit it [the job] for her life..   

3. [+4412 / -43] Song, please take good care of your health and please show us your healthy self

4. [+2162 / -45] Get well soon and show us your good form (t/n: they're asking for her to get healthy soon and show them her being healthy)

5. [+1768 / -183] 'Omniscient Interfering View' was the only show I watched because of Song-ie... After Song-ie left, there was nothing to watch so I stopped watching 

6. [+496 / -10] Insulting the way people look really isn't good... I saw it (comments) too but it was really severe, because someone gets popular all of a sudden, it makes me think that it's jealousy. The memory of me at that time, waiting to watch the show to see Song-ie manager... And also, it's normal to make mistakes. It's weird.. for a person who just started working to be good at their job.. I'm sad that she even got surgery..    

I seriously only watched 'Omniscient Interfering View' because of her ㅠㅠ
She was always so nice and tried so hard at her job
I'm glad she prioritized her health and well-being
It's a shame that she received so much hate for just coming out on a show

Manager Lim Song resigns from SM C&C, Park Sung Kwang quits 'Omniscient Interfering View'

      , ,     Comments

1. [+3092, -39] She's really good-hearted and seemed like a character who didn't want to inconvenience others... I saw a lot of horrible comments because her mother and grandmother came out [on the show], the production team must've sweet-talked her onto bringing them on, do you think she volunteered to bring them on... People were leaving hate comments about her younger sister and her mom.. She's not a celebrity who's destined to endure that, I feel like psychologically, it must've been really hard on her 

2. [+2400, -41] What do you mean, why? It's because of hate commenters who tap away without thinking on their keyboards 

3. [+1730, -25] I felt a lot of things after seeing manager Lim Song - you're really sincere and because you're an amazing person, it wasn't just once or twice when I was moved by you - don't worry, I'll always support you! Power

4. [+1366, -15] Because you have a strong sense of responsibility, you'll do well in whatever you do. 

5. [+479, -105] There were a lot of hate comments that went overboard but they should've properly said goodbye on the show - can't believe the episode that aired on the 27th was their last episode 

6. [+437, -2] It must be really burdensome if the entire nation knew about my resignation

Claudia Kim dominates search rankings after she appears on 'Omniscient Interfering View'

      ,     Comments

Nationwide ratings for this week's episode that aired on March 2: 12.0% (cr. Naver TV)

1. [+1344, -16] She's also good at acting, her words have class, she seems like she's an educated person ㅠ she's cool

2. [+1179, -5] Unlike other celebrities, it doesn't feel like she's only being taken care of by her manager - she respects and works with him like a business partner, it looked really cool. Even when working in Hollywood, it feels like they're both taking up a new challenge as one team 

3. [+572, -15] She became successful after working hard and even after succeeding, she's cultured and she has dignity... Nuna, I love you.

4. [+304, -11] She's quite a cool actress~ Her charms are insane

5. [+218, -17] Soo Hyun, I'm always supporting you!!!! You came out so charming in Fantastic Beasts and your chemistry with your co-star was good too ㅎㅎ

6. [+159, -0] It's my first time seeing a celebrity not treating their manager like a slave.


1. [+1598, -18] Soo Hyun prosper

2. [+800, -15] I didn't know Soo Hyun that well but after watching 'Omniscient Interfering View', she's very charming - film a movie in Korea as well

3. [+546, -36] Soo Hyun was an actress I always liked but the reason I like her more is because she originally lived abroad when she was younger but she doesn't make it obvious.... (t/n: the comment also wrote that she doesn't twist her tongue meaning, she doesn't speak in a way that makes it sound obvious that she lived abroad) Other black-haired mi kook-ins go study abroad for a year, are they Americans - I hate seeing them twisting their tongues and bluffing (t/n: 미국인 (mi gook-in) means American, saying it like mi kook is an exaggeration of people who have accents but this comment is specifically talking about who are like Korean but they act like they can't speak Korean because they lived abroad for a couple of years)          

4. [+415, -7] She's pretty and easy-going, I hope she becomes a better actress 

5. [+401, -10] Seeing 'Omniscient Interfering View', she really seems like someone who's hardworking - I like her

[Weekend Variety Roundup] Omniscient Interfering View, Running Man, 1N2D, All the Butlers

      , , , ,     Comments



Nationwide ratings for this week's episode: 10.8% (cr. Naver TV)

t/n: Lee Suk Min is a new employee of the company Lee Young Ja is signed to and apparently when they train new employees, they have to try every job so as part of Lee Suk Min's training, he's working as Lee Young Ja's manager. 

1. [+1230, -86] People who speak like Lee Young Ja by beating around the bushes are tiring (t/n: In the episode, Lee Suk Min was driving Lee Young Ja and Song Sung Ho manager to the Hello Counselor set and he wasn't driving as fast as Lee Young Ja wanted him to so she was saying, "You drive well", hoping he'll drive faster but he took it as a compliment and thanked her, then she said, "I wonder if we'll arrive the set tomorrow", insinuating he's driving too slow. The commenter is saying that they don't like how she talks passive aggressively)

2. [+683, -53] People who talk sarcastically like Lee Young Ja are funny the first couple of times but if you're always with them, it gets tiring so you end up avoiding them

3. [+546, -18] I laughed so much yesterday because of Kim Soo Yong ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Manager Inside (t/n: Kim Soo Yong has no fixed manager because he's not a fixed member on a show so his entertainment company sends him different managers (like Kim Gook Jin's manager, Yang Se Hyung's manager, Yoon Jung Soo's manager, etc) to accompany him for his other schedules and they called his episode 'Manager Inside' because his managers kept on changing like the boyfriends in 'Beauty Inside')

4. [+253, -17] A celebrity-like manager!! He seems nice and he sings well. I hope he succeeds!! 

5. [+190, -5] Team leader Song is so funny ㅋㅋ

6. [+179, -4] I feel like working as a manager is a hella tiring job. You have to crawl around, you have to know when to take care of them, you have to match the celebrity's mood, drive carefully, and do a lot of small errands,.... How can they relax? Do they at least give them a stipend?.. It's an extreme job     

Original Source (X Sports News via Naver): 'Omniscient Interfering View' Kim Soo Yong, although he doesn't have an exclusive one, a reassuring 'Manager Inside'

1. [+998, -18] I hope Kim Soo Yong keeps coming out!!

2. [+751, -15] Weirdly, it's unfunny but funny, what is this? I hope Kim Soo Yong comes out on TV a lot and shows people that he's this type of person

3. [+626, -15] I found Kim Soo Yong really funny yesterday and I hope he'll keep coming out ㅎㅎ He seems like a person who's really shy but cares a lot about people and I really enjoyed watching it because I was able to sense that

4. [+442, -17] Kim Soo Yong's joke signal "pft!!", it's totally my type ^^ Let's make him a fixed member of 'Omniscient Interfering View' ^^

5. [+410, -20] Personally, I think Kim Soo Yong is a good person and I always hope that he does well but I feel like he's not good at revealing the talent he has~~ I hope he succeeds

1. [+280, -29] Running man is so fun ㅋㅋ Yoo Jae Suk's "Because I love her!!!!" the story was the best

2. [+162, -11] The story where they said Yoo Jae Suk is the only one who takes care of the staff, it was touching, cool!! (t/n: Park Hoon said he was doing a musical with Jung Jun Ha and a lot of celebrities came because of Jung Jun Ha and they were waiting for Yoo Jae Suk to come so they can greet each other but when they said Yoo Jae Suk arrived, he didn't come to the actors so Park Hoon went to see where he was and revealed that Yoo Jae Suk was the only one who greeted the staff members of the musical one by one) 

3. [+110, -3] Park Hoon really looks manly, he's an actor who looks handsome like a man

4. [+95, -5] Yoo Neu's "Because I love her" was really heart fluttering ♡

5. [+38, -2] Park Hoon hwaiting!!

Nationwide ratings for this week's episode: Ratings for this week's episode hasn't been released yet

1. [+181, -14] After they found their child-like innocence, the viewers' heart turned back.. I'm reaching the limit for watching out of loyalty ㅜㅜ

2. [+166, -17] Today's episode was really so freaking boring...... I'm not shitting on the kids but the Cha siblings who always come out.. I'm getting sick of it -_- It's not a child observation show (t/n: Child observation shows are shows like 'Superman Returns') but they call themselves running around, kids fishing, and feeding sheep sightseeing....;;;

3. [+109, -21] It's boring, we don't care about the Cha family.. it's not fun nor is it moving, 1N2D needs to stop bringing on Cha family and needs to do variety.. Cha Tae Hyun needs to either go on 'Superman Returns' or do his own show, it's getting tiring 

4. [+77, -7] Once is enough for the kids to come out.. At this rate, it's no different from 'Superman Returns'

5. [+66, -11] I feel like it would've been good if they came out on a singing contest, I don't think this is 1N2D, I think they casted them wrong. I couldn't concentrate and it was uncomfortable to watch

[Article Translation] Kwanghee's manager Yoo Si Jong resigns after more iljin/bullying allegations surface

      , , ,     Comments

Kwanghee made a variety show comeback with 'Omniscient Interfering View' - which is a variety show that shows the relationship between celebrities and their managers. Kwanghee's first episode aired on the 22nd and after the episode aired, a user made a post on an online forum claiming that during their school years, the user was bullied by Yoo Si Jong who was an iljin (t/n: iljins are basically deliquents, these kids are known for drinking/smoking underage, they're rowdy and misbehave).

The original post was titled: "Hwang Kwanghee's manager who is really chilling". The user wrote: "We both attended Uijeongbu Middle School and we're both born in 1990 and 29 years old. He was one of the most notorious iljins in Uijeongbu and the other schools. It's not like I have have evidence that I was beaten, the only evidence I have is my sad memories. My earlobe ripped after they performed wrestling moves on me. People can say that what's the point of revealing this now but this remained as a memories for me throughout my school years and follows me forever. I just want to say one thing, don't pretend to apologize and don't show up in front of me. Don't find me. I've enjoyed 'Omniscient Interfering View' since the first episode and recently Park Sung Kwang's manager Song-ie manager even came out in commercials so I thought he might be able to too so and the thought of that made my blood boil."

Kwanghee's entertainment agency Bonboo Entertainment released an official statement refuting the allegations in the original online post. Bonboo Entertainment said, "After personally checking with Kwanghee's manager, he denied being an iljin, he didn't do any of those things (from the post), and said that he doesn't recall any of those things." Bonboo Entertainment added that because of privacy laws, they're in a situation where they can't contact the original poster. They said that if the original poster contacts their agency via an email or a phone call, they'll formally pay a visit and after hearing the whole story, they'll discuss what they can do as a company to resolve this issue. 

After Bonboo Entertainment released their official statement, another netizen made allegations against Yoo Si Jong. On the 26th, the second netizen made a post on an online forum titled: "Kwanghee's manager is really an iljin". The second netizen said that they graduated in the 56th graduating class of Uijeongbu Middle School and wrote this post because they got mad after reading Bonboo Entertainment's clarification statement. The second netizen wrote, "I reread what the other victim wrote after Bonboo Entertainment refuted allegations that he's not an iljin after personally checking with him. After seeing various comments saying, it's lame exposing something that happened 10 years ago or there's a reason they're an outcast, it wasn't a sight to see." The netizen added, "They're were a lot of so-called notorious iljins at Uijeongbu Middle School and Seo Middle School and at Uijeongbu Middle School, the group Yoo Si Jong in was the most notorious. I can't say my memories are exact because I didn't suffer directly but I'm certain he picked on kids who weak and looked gentle. I don't want him to leave 'Omniscient Interfering View. The only proof I have is my memories so it can be buried but he needs to take responsibility for what he did. Before this follows you around for the rest of your life, be a man and apologize."
1. [+14160, -139] People don't change. They pretend like they do so that they can live.  
[+463, -2] There's a reason they're an outcast?? One of the most common reasons the perpetrators pick on the victims is just because, just because they're weaker than them

2. [+10148, -140] I hope more cases come out where an individual's remaining long life gets ruined because of the bad things they committed during their short, teenage years. 

3. [+6580, -88] Kwanghee can get hurt too... Change his manager and don't come out on TV... School violence is a one of the most vicious crimes amongst crimes...

4. [+4477, -55] It's forever a wound for the victim.. For the perpetrator, it's a memory of them being well off during good times

5. [+3898, -57] What goes around comes around... (t/n: They're saying karma's a bitch) 

1. [+11950, -54] He's properly getting what he deserves. Kids look at this properly, don't pick on your friends because you're strong~ Life is certainly long...

2. [+5623, -36] I hope this is the opportunity that can eradicate people who think it's alright to inconvenience others while fooling around during middle and high school, I hope this shows that it can be a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives, not just in this field but in all other fields as well..

3. [+2938, -38] It feels like it was resolved relatively fast but why did you do that, I told you that it was all going to come back (t/n: They're saying what goes around, comes around)

4. [+2647, -32] You need to regularly live honorably. I think it ended up well

5. [+1997, -386] As expected.... His intention was to use Kwanghee.. (t/n: they're saying the manager is a clout seeker) You can straight up tell that his facial characteristics seem like an iljin's..
↪ [+309, -3] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What does it mean to have facial characteristics that are iljin-like 
↪ [+451, -6] It's dangerous to judge just by the face. There's an example where people were shown a picture of notorious serial killer Kang Ho Sun without revealing who it was and most people that it was a likable face. There's no such thing as a criminal-like face. (t/n: Kang Ho Sun is a serial killer who was charged for killing 10 people, you can read about it here - X (BBC News). And this is what he looks like - X) 

6. [+898, -9] I thought of what Bae Jung Nam said, "Even if you can't become a great person, you need to grow up upright"~ God-Jung Nam
