[theqoo] THE DIRECTOR WHO WAS REPLACED BEFORE ‘REAL’ WAS REVEALING INFORMATION ABOUT KIM SOOHYUN’S MOVIE ‘REAL

“(Replying to KakaoTalk chats of KSR) This is so heartbreaking and painful”

이 아이는 늘 자기가 얼마나 예쁜지 기특한지를 매일 방대한 사진들을 찍어보내며, 어느 사진이
가장 마음에 드는지 물어봤다. 나는 곤혹스럽고 귀찮아하며 (전혀 그렇지 않았지만) 다 예뻐서 곤란하다고만 했다. 집요하게 답을 묻는 목소리가 지금도 가끔 들려서 요즘도 가장 마음에 드는 사진이… pic.twitter.com/Jk1rn1kuMo

“(Replying to photos of Sulli) This child would always send me countless photos every day, asking which one I liked best, proudly showing how pretty and admirable she was. I found it troublesome and bothersome, but I would only say that they were all so beautiful that I couldn’t choose (even though that wasn’t true at all). Sometimes, I can still hear her persistent voice asking for an answer, and even now, with a sad face, I find myself searching for the one photo I like the most.”

“So many of my dear friends have passed away.When I think of them, I feel like I’ve barely survived, like I’m a coward. 

This is too low a world to be sane in.”

“No one knows more than me how tightly and vastly intertwined the South Korean entertainment industry and media politics law firm cartel is.”

“You should apologize to the deceased.

You’re human right

It hasn’t changed. It’s just gotten worse.”

“(The director retweeted the following tweets) Someone mentioned a tweet I wrote back in 2017 about the director change incident for the movie Real, and it made me realize it’s being revisited because of that actor… But wait, could it be the person involved…?

Now that the movie has been released, I can say this with confidence, what happened to that film is not even 1% the fault of director Lee Jung-sub.”

“Even if we set aside the case of the movie Real, if a director was replaced midway through production and their replacement was the head of the production company who hadn’t even made their directorial debut, then it’s absolutely the production company’s fault (…)”

The director who replaced Lee Jung-sub was reported to be Kim Soohyun’s cousin, also known as Lee Jaehyun = Lee Sarang = Irobe = Hyun, who is now the CEO of Kim Soohyun’s agency, Gold Medalist

1. Isn’t this basically the 2nd Burning Sun?

2. Everything about him is just trash

3. I hope that everything gets exposed until the last bits

4. Isn’t this worse than the Burning Sun?

5. Ah, that makes sense… the entertainment and political cartel. I used to think the actions of certain lawmakers were just attention-seeking antics, but there might have been something even deeper going on

6. There were so many victims just from this one movie alone… What a tragedy

7. Who is Irobe? There’s a reason why Kim Soohyun stayed silent all this time..? What “cartel”?… What the heck is this?

8. I was wondering why Kim & Chang was being mentioned when Kim Soohyun’s dedicated law firm is LKB, so I looked it up, and turns out LKB was founded by lawyers from Kim & Chang. Seems like everything is connected in some way.

9. This is way bigger than I thought;; Director-nim, find strength

10. How is this country a giant Burning Sun? Seriously disgusting, f*ck
