Sechs Kies Kang Sunghoon under fire for embezzling fans' money & more

Article: "Will release a statement" Kang Sunghoon, embezzlement suspicions, international lawsuit, demands of leaving the group... Controversy on going

Source: Herald Pop via Naver

(In March, Kang Sunghoon started a charity for Sechs Kies' 20th anniversary and the fans donated a total of 100 million won approximately. However, fans found that he didn't post the receipt of the charity. Instead, he posted an unclear estimate sheet. Recently, his fanmeet in Taiwan was cancelled for no reason, which caused a loss of 100 million won to the Taiwanese companies.)

1. [+1825, -33] Once again, you learn that a person can never change.

2. [+764, -22] His celebrity career was basically over when he committed the car fraud before, he was really lucky to get away with it... YG already sucked everything out of Sechs Kies, they should terminate the contract.

3. [+673, -26] Kang Sunghoon was on the news before because he borrowed money to buy an expensive car and then didn't pay back. He also committed a fraud. Of course, a person never changes. This is the reason why we shouldn't forgive people like Shin Jung Hwan, Go Young Wook, and Tak Jae Hoon. Go away, Kang Sunghoon.

4. [+516, -28] Don't ruin Sechs Kies... It took a lot of work to reunite, even the fans are upset. Solve it properly. After all the individual promotions, he ended up causing a scandal.

5. [+257, -20] There are people who spend money for someone like him ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So many interesting people in the world ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

6. [+176, -0] Current fans of Sechs Kies are at the age to be working jobs and submitting all sorts of expense reports and balance statements. I can't believe he had the nerve to submit a fake estimate sheet to the fans...

Article: "Fanclub ran by his girlfriend"... Sechs Kies Kang Sunghoon fans are finally raging

Source: TV Report via Nate

1. [+1722, -39] He never stops with his controversies.

2. [+1637, -35] I remember Click B Oh Jonghyuk saying at his concert, "The person I'm in love with is here" and then the spotlight shining on Lee Dahee, which brought them so much hate ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+1307, -31] Sechs Kies fans can never rest when their concert is coming up. Raging at Ko Jiyong, raging at Kang Sunghoon.

4. [+131, -2] There's a reason why we could see Kim Jaeduk, Jang Soowon, and Eun Jiwon without a hiatus. It's those rarely-seen members Ko Jiyong, Kang Sunghoon, and Lee Jaejin that are causing problems.

5. [+94, -28] When will you fangirls wake up ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You're nothing but ATM machines ㅋㅋ Ugh, women have no sense of reality.

6. [+90, -2] Fangirls, you guys need to mature... Shinhwa always says the artists are not responsible for your lives...

Article: Kang Sunghoon's embezzlement suspicions and international lawsuit... "solving vs. ignoring", what will YG choose to do?

Source: Sports Donga via Nate

1. [+563, -19] He should've toned down his actions ㅋㅋ What did the innocent members of Sechs Kies do to deserve this?

2. [+527, -13] Guys, this is why fans can be so scary when they turn their backs.

3. [+516, -37] Thanks to him, I cancelled my concert ticket because I didn't want him to embezzle my ticket money~~

4. [+55, -8] Whether it's god or HOT, memories should be kept as memories. Those singers are in their 30's and 40's who are worn out by the society and greedy for money.

5. [+50, -4] He had no one to rip off so he ripped off his fans?

6. [+45, -5] Hul, he's been to jail before? The broadcast covered his image so well... I'm shocked...

2. [+117, -0] They have big reactions, laugh a lot, work hard, and are pleasant.

3. [+103, -0] Even if they weren't celebrities, they would ace on anything ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+23, -0] I can totally see why.

6. [+20, -1] I think it'll be really loud if all of them were gathered ㅋㅋ Sejeong is the maknae so she'll act cute and Hani will quietly adjust Sejeong's clothes. Hyeri, Yura, and Youngji will show the biggest reactions ㅋㅋ I laughed so hard at Yura's laughing gif ㅋㅋ

7. [+17, -0] They're all pleasant, bright, and smiling.

Hong Jin Young says she only uses her bathroom at home

"Despite my busy schedule, I only use my bathroom at home. I even hold my urine. I got cystitis because of that. I always drink cranberry juice because it's good for cystitis."

Pann: Hong Jin Young says she only uses her bathroom at home

1. [+286, -6] If I were a celebrity, I don't think I can use public toilets... What if I get secretly filmed? I don't even want to imagine.

2. [+163, -2] Hong Jin Young does a lot of countryside events, it'll be no joke...

3. [+141, -0] That must be really bad for her health ㅠㅠ

4. [+64, -0] Jang Yoon Jung also suffers from cystitis. One day, she went to a public bathroom and the lineup was long. When the ajummas saw her, they split in half and told her to go ahead. She was embarrassed and said it's OK, but they kept pushing her. The bathroom was noisy but when she entered the stall, it became dead quiet. She ended up not using the toilet and left the stall. Then the ajummas were like "Of course, Jang Yoon Jung-ssi does her business very prettily~ Hahaha~" Since then, she stopped using public bathrooms.

5. [+40, -0] SNSD Yuri went to a bathroom and the elementary school kids there were shouting "Hey, SNSD Yuri is here to poop!" Yuri told them she wasn't going to poop and left.

6. [+33, -1] Same for me... I can never defecate unless it's my home.

7. [+29, -0] I also barely defecate outside. Public toilets are so dirty and I don't like them. I don't use them unless it's emergency. I use my bathroom in the morning and in the evening and never defecate when I'm outside.

8. [+29, -0] What's the point of drinking cranberry juice when she doesn't pee ㅠㅠ

Instiz: Employment rates of university majors

- Let me cry as a law major

- Don't choose your major based on the employment rate, you'll regret it

- Should've majored in natural sciences...

- My major isn't ocean engineering but it's ocean studies! We have diving classes in our school pool and we also have school trips to Jeju-island and East Sea. It's really nice!

- Don't major in fashion design. I graduated and my current job has nothing to do with my major.
