Asian Junkie Asian pop. Without discretion.
Former member of the Young Turks Club, Song Jin Ah, was indicted on charges of assaulting a police officer back in early January, so netizens must have been calling for her head and for justice, right? I mean this is a REAL affront to societal/cultural rules, right? Nope, they’re defending her despite the fact that she shows little remorse.
Song Jin Ah got into an argument with a taxi driver regarding how much she had been charged. The two were brought to a police station, where Song Jin Ah used violent language and physically assaulted an officer. She was indicted without detention for such actions and was sentenced to fine.
Song Jin Ah commented, “I already forgot about that incident and have been living my life the way it is. I don’t understand why people are so excited to dig this up from the past like it’s some big deal. This is also affecting my family very much. They are having a hard time with it. After the incident, I’ve been trying to get myself together, but now I don’t know how I’m supposed to continue my social and professional life. It’s ruining everything.”
Song Jin Ah has been having a hard time since her father passed away in November 2012. Netizens have been supportive of Song Jin Ah, arguing that unreasonable “witch hunt” of anyone is wrong, especially when one is no longer a public figure. Song Jin Ah thanked and apologized to these supporters, “No matter what happened, I know I did my share of wrong. I am very sorry to make those who care about me worry about me.”
“Yo, I dunno why the fuck everybody is bringing this shit up again, I already forgot about trying to beat up the police dude, so it’s cool, right? FUCK DA POLICE!”
Yeah … everybody has problems. Not everybody uses those problems as an excuse to scream shit in the police station and then try to knock a police officer the fuck out.
If nothing else, this just goes to show that netizens are amusingly selective as far as which issues and which celebrities they torch, and to me, it’s fucking ridiculous.
CELEBRITIES?
We just witnessed the strength of street knowledge! http://youtu.be/70lH373A1NU

“…unreasonable “witch hunt” of anyone is wrong, especially when one is no longer a public figure”
So that’s the ticket? If you’re not in the public eye you shouldn’t be attacked? Somebody call up MC Mong, make sure he knows this.
Just a theory here: It seems like netizens only make a big deal about something if it deviates from the celebrity’s perceived “image”.
In other words, if it was Suzy (innocent, cute image) who assaulted the police officer, she would have been burned at the stake.
This woman apparently already had sort of a “bad girl” image, so they probably feel like this behavior fits her and are more likely to blow it off.
A “cute” idol acting promiscuous? “Whore.”
Lee Hyori (known for her sexiness) acting the same way? “Goddess.”
Totally agree with theory. Like with the big Edison Chen fiasco that happened a long time ago in Hong Kong – Gillian with the innocent image, burned at stake. Cecilia who was a bad girl, still got some nasty coverage but could continue with said image and continue making money. Same thing with Britney Spears when she got outed as not being a virgin…their is always a huge shit storm when actual self and the image portrayed are complete opposites.
them leaked pictures…..Edison you playboy….so jelly
That scandal gave me LIFE.
True story:-
I remembered having lunch with a friend at some swanky bistro when all of a sudden galfriend whipped out her phone and said: “Check out Edison’s peen and Ah Kiew’s(Gillian’s nickname) poon” and we spend the whole of lunch looking at pics of unkept bikini areas and pencil dicks of these fools.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s logical though.
Lindsay Lohan doing something and Taylor Swift doing the same thing would have different reactions.
She isn’t that good looking
No shit? :o
Young Turks Club is one of the groups that got me into KPOP. Didn’t know Jina was THUG4LIFE.
As sure as the sun rises in the eat and sets int he west, netizens bash the innocent and protect the guilty.
Can’t spell today but you get the point.
“I already forgot about that incident… I don’t understand why people are so excited to dig this up from the past like it’s some big deal.”
FROM THE PAST? FROM THE PAST!?!!?
WAS JUST A FUCKING MONTH AGO.
I don’t know the whole story but normally, people realize that their actions have consequences. I guess she didn’t get that memo.
Well a lot of Koreans don’t have a much respect for the Police. So perhaps that’s why they don’t care?
I guess she was an Idol when plastic surgery wasn’t invented
bazinga! lol
If this was IU, Suzy, Eunji etc. they would have been burned alive. -_-
But it’s not just the k-netizens.
Here in the west we also have tons of celebs that get away with pretty much anything, and others who get shit for the smallest thing ever.
And yeah, I do thing it has to do with the level of popularity and the image that they try to sell to people.
Guess I’m guilty of it too, but more because I already think the person is a piece of shit anyway.
If Lindsay Lohan got busted tomorrow for slanging crack, I wouldn’t even care, honestly. If Taylor Swift did it though, I would be interested, if for no other reason than the incoming memes.
