Originally I just wanted an excuse to post a new picture of Han Ye Seul just like I did with the previous UEE post, but no, retarded Korean netizens have given me something to write about. It's about the "reflection periods" that Korean netizens always clamor for. Sometimes I believe these Korean netizens should take a reflection period about how much they suck at Starcraft. Just because you suck ass at Starcraft, don't put all of your irrational hatred onto celebrities.
I normally get all of my Korean news about Han Ye Seul in Korean or Chinese, but just being curious, I went to Netizen Buzz to see if she translated the comments about Ye Seul. When I read the comments, I wasn't surprised one bit, but it did make me think.
Netizen Buzz - Han Ye Seul hopes to make an acting comeback after two years
Now, I honestly don't give a shit if someone doesn't like a celebrity that I like. That's why I still post stuff about T-ara even though 90% of Kpop fans hate T-ara. I'm not so feeble-minded as to let a random person's opinion of someone change my opinion. That's why I don't understand why I get so many fangirls send me hate messages. There are even people who hate AKF (the site) yet still monitor everything I and the other authors write. Why be so obsessive over someone else's opinion? For example, on articles about the Dallas Cowboys, I'll make a comment once in a while that Tony Romo fucking sucks (even though Dallas is my favorite team.) I have Tony Romo defenders up my ass and chewing me out over saying that. Come the fuck on, I gave my reasons. Accept them or leave them. It's the same with me when it comes to Han Ye Seul, T-ara, Tablo, etc. I like all three of them, yet because my opinion goes against the majority, I get chewed out for it. Sorry for not being a bandwagoning fuckface and having an opinion for myself. I can understand why some people don't like Han Ye Seul, but there are some things that I don't understand while reading the comments, as translated by Netizen Buzz.
1. [+583, -33] What director would want to cast her? She might run away to America in the middle of filming...
2. [+558, -21] She should reflect. All the other staff who receive not even a percentage of the pay that she does still held it in for the sake of the viewers and worked hard... but because she had it a bit harder, she ran away to America. Exactly in what country is that ever an acceptable thing to do?
3. [+511, -24] Just take a nice, long rest... Didn't you say you were tired...
4. [+453, -22] Kim Hye Soo: No.
5. [+394, -21] I bet she wants to run away again while filming something
6. [+375, -17] Just stay in America
7. [+337, -14] Goes home whenever she's tired or feels like it... So selfish.
8. [+317, -15] Well she can find work in America since she seems to love America so much
9. [+242, -17] Didn't even notice that it's been 2 years since I haven't seen this b*tch
10. [+212, -10] Does she need money now or something? Isn't she the one that ran away in the middle of filming? So once she gets paid, she's going to run away again?
1. [+341, -59] Can you make sure your respect makes a comeback tooOkay, the first is "reflection periods". You can always see Korean netizens bitching about how G-Dragon and T-ara never had a reflection period. Well, this is exactly why reflection periods don't matter. You can read on Asian Junkie a similar story about Ivy. Ivy "reflected" for three years yet she still gets shit on. Han Ye Seul has been out of the spotlight for two years (just doing photo shoots here and there), yet gets shit on. That's why I thought it was a smart move by YG to not have G-Dragon have a "reflection period". If G-Dragon had a reflection period and came back after two years, he would still be called G-Druggin and people would still hate on him. If T-ara had taken a "reflection period", people would still call them bullies. Netizens would just say "T-ara had more time to bully people during their time off. Fucking cunts."
2. [+324, -59] She's become such a turnoff. One mistake totally ruined her image.. She was the best during 'Couple of Fantasy'
3. [+276, -66] Miss Runaway
The other problem I see with this is their hatred for Han Ye Seul exposing the problems in the Kdramas industry. If you didn't know, Han Ye Seul bailed on Spy Myung Wol due to horrible conditions (working 22 hours a day/7 days a week), just for the "promise with the viewers". What a bunch of horse shit. I've written about this plenty of times before, but there is no reason why drama filming crews should have to work 20 hours a day just to appease these two-inch dick having, A-cup tits having fucks. This happened in the middle of 2011, became a big controversy, yet nothing has changed since then. At the 2012 SBS Drama Awards, Jung Ryeo Won inadvertently mentioned this by talking about how the drama filming environment needs to change and how there needs to be more pre-produced dramas (just like how every other country in the world does it.)
Korean netizens, or any netizens, can hate her for all they want. It's not going to change my opinion of Han Ye Seul. However, stop demanding "reflection periods" when reflections never appease you kimchi-smelling fucks. And yes, you can continue hating on Han Ye Seul for exposing as to why Korean dramas are normal dramas in the first half and become fanfics in the second half. If Korean dramas weren't produced so poorly just so changes could be made on the fly, none of this would be a problem. I've seen plenty of dramas with an interesting setup, good writing, yet get poor ratings. Since Korean dramas are filmed live (as in the week, sometimes the day the episode is aired), changes can be made very rapidly. So I have seen dramas with potential turning into garbage because Korean viewers demand everything to be the same in every drama. This "promise with the viewers" almost got broken because of Han Ye Seul and Korean netizens hate her for it. Sadly, Korean netizens have control over what goes on in dramas because of how the system is set up. Just think about NBC and Community fans as an analogy for an American (and geez, that show went from being one of my favorite sitcoms to complete and utter shit.) Once netizens get the fuck out of the way and allow the producers, directors and writers to do their job instead of allowing dramas ending up as fanfiction, then the problem will finally be solved. But what am I saying? This is fucking Korea for fuck's sake.
