Article: Netizens' explosions in the aftermath of the news articles
Raemian's "Hogwarts" playground.
The inside of the playhouse is known to be dark and hidden from onlookers.
I was Kim Do Hoon's* seat partner in one of our classes. Seoil Middle School, 2nd year, 3rd room, and our homeroom teacher was the grammar teacher Kim Songsook. The above (his comment) is all true. To add to it, his (Yongsoo) specialty was hawking loogeys at the other kids' backs (on their uniforms). One time during study break, he leaned on my back and licked up my neck. Another time, I bumped into him in the hall, and 10 minutes later, he came over and said that he lost his piercing when I bumped him, and if he doesn't wear it, it'll close up so he took my money to cover the cost of getting it repierced and the jewelry.
*Kim Do Hoon is the one that mentioned the towel and Inshin Maemae in my previous post.

(The pictures are of Junebug's -- the poster's -- school yearbooks. The paper covers her photo on the cover.)
To start off, I'm a '92 (born in), graduating from Wonmyung Elementary, Seoil Middle, and attended Seocho High for a year before coming to the States, which is where I've resided since.
Maybe a month ago? I was bored so I was watching the news when I saw that this idol group with a weird name debuted, Co-ed? The name was too funny so I was looking over the individual members
when I saw "Yulhyul Kangho" His face was so weirdly familiar, so I looked at his member profile and wtf??? Park Yongsoo? 1991 Decmber 14th?
It was then that I felt it
This jerk... how did he... how in the world.... He became a singer??!???
But no matter how hard I searched his profile, there was no way to tell which high school he came from. (I bet his management didn't want anyone to know kekekeke since he was a well-known bully no matter where he went)
So ah... If this is the same bastard I know then he has some good luck. A guy that should have been delivering Chinese food ended up as an entertainer.
(Just in case, I joined the Co-Ed fancafe and asked where he'd graduated middle school on the question board. If you want to check then go ahead - it should show up if you type in "열혈강호 중학교" (Yulhyul Kangho middle school))
But seems no one knew. All I got was "You know Kangho? Jealous!" bullshit.
But I was playing on Naver today and put "Yulhyul Kangho" in the search bar out of boredom and saw "Yulhyul Kangho past" on the related searches, so I thought "oho~" and went in to look around at the blogs and
Damn straight I knew this kid.
Heaven must've been crazy*, how could anyone let this kid debut?
If I verify anything then
rape stories, bullying stories, iljin* stories are showing up
I swear to god, they're all true.
I'll share some more on his personality/history.
----------------------------------------------
Park Yongsoo - Wonmyung High graduate.
In elementary school, all the bullies start the same with bad grades and not listening to the teacher
and ruining the atmosphere at the range of "troublemakers?". I'm about a year younger than him but
There was a pretty big building next to Wonmyung Elementary called "Seocho Shopping." There's a taekwondo place on the fifth floor. I can't remember the name but something like Kyungheewondo?
Anyway I attended taekwondo there in elementary school, and so did that kid Park Yongsoo -- I remember since I talked to him a few times.
It's pretty fucking ridiculous that I remember these things but I just can't get over the trauma that this kid became an entertainer. Let me write it all out first
This kid went to the bathroom once, wearing these grey slacks but I guess after he peed, he peed some more on his pants so the Johnson part of his pants were wet.
So the master (can't remember what you call them) said something like "How old are you, still peeing in your pants?" and I remember that.
Anyway, in elementary he was just a stupid troublemaker.
I was a grade younger and there was a kid named Kim Sangrok in our grade. I have no idea what he's doing now.
But moving on,
He went to Seoil middle school, and so did I.
He gradually became tagged as an iljin and got worse.
I was part of the soccer pack in my first year, but Park Yongsoo was too.
Like all jerks, he did some sports, I think.
Anyway, as he entered middle school, his reputation passed the school and was on the verge of becoming known world-wide.
Since I wasn't in the same grade or friends with him, maybe I'm not sure about world-wide but,
this kid wasn't just an iljin, he'd have been in the top tier at iljin-tech as a ultrasuperrecordbreaker iljin.
Drinkingsmoking, gaming, bbing*, skipping school, leaving school at lunch (At Seoil Middle, there was a backgate and it was so easy to leave school unnoticed. That's why there was a teacher there everyday at lunch time to guard it.)
were the basics, and from some point, he must have had enough hormones to spill over or something, since rumors started spreading that he was going around tallying up girls.
For starters, his place was "Hogwarts"
If you want to know what this "Hogwarts" is,
There's a place called Seocho Raemian apartments (next to the Sanpoong apartments).
The Raemian apartments, I was what in my 4th year of elementary? So 2002? Just started taking residents, so it was just one of those apartments I passed
But the apartments' center? had this one playground
At that time, it was this playground that wasn't just a playground but this really nice, really large and flamboyant playground.
From a distance, there was this building? shaped like a towel in the playground
So we all ended up calling it "Hogwarts" like Harry Potter Hogwarts.
This playground's security was really crappy so before they even started moving people in, I remember the kids used to jump the wall and play "Escape" at Hogwarts.
Anyway, the rumor started circling that Park Yongsoo bastard was scoring girls at that Hogwarts.
Can smoke rise from an unlit chimney?*
From all the victims coming out now too,
I really think if it was this kid, he could have done it and more.
Ah, I didn't explain his family.
Unfortunately, I only know about his dad, and that he's extremely rich.
How did he debut as an idol after behaving like a psycho in middle school and getting in trouble all the time?
I'm sure his dad did something about it.
This isn't for sure, and it's just a rumor, but
There was a rumor that his dad was a high position in the mafia.
I only saw his dad in my 5th year of elementary (So the bastard's 6th)
Just once at the graduation ceremony
But he looked really rich and like he'd be fucking great in a fight.
It's seriously ridiculous that I remember this kind of thing.
But the thing is, I can't help but remember. This kid was insanely infamous
And this kid's dad was taking his picture (with a disposable camera kekeke I remember that too)
Maybe it's because he was shouting "YONGSOO-YAH!!!!!! HERE!!!!!!!!!!!" that I remember. Ah, that dude is Yongsoo's old man.
Anyway, in my peaceful middle school years
I heard that Park Yongsoo was forcefully transferred.
I was relieved inside. The school's iljins' mastermind got cut. Maybe the school will be more peaceful now?
Didn't know where he'd been transferred to, but now they're saying he went to Kyungwon middle? or something. I have no idea from there on. Now I'm past my 2nd year in the states.
Anyway, I've said everything I know about Park Yongsoo (Yulhyul Kangho).
I swear to god, I've said nothing but the truth.
Anything I wasn't sure on, I said I wasn't sure.
Hope you all enjoyed it.
Ah, I'm disappointed. If I was a '91, I could've had that jerk's graduation photo to put up, at least.
Ah, should I provide some confirmation?
I put up pictures of my graduation albums. Excuse the paper covering my photo. I don't want to put up my photo and then, by Park Yongsoo-nim's hand, have to say my farewells to the world.
Edit : I really don't write things like this but when human trash becomes a singer that lives and lives well by image
From the moral baseline of today's society it made no sense at all so I put this up. There's a possibility that I'll delete it later too.
Ah, and I forgot to add that I'm a victim too. Between four times, he got a couple 10,000 won from me.
I know some kids that lost hundreds of thousands though so I figure I got off easy.
Edit :
I read some news just now and something nearly made my head spin 720 degrees.
"But the management says the rumors related to B (person) are all lies spread by a couple netizens.
One of the management's representatives said "To create lies that cause a normal person to be treated like a criminal is tantamount to cyber terrorizing" and that "The victim here (B) is very embarrassed and hopes that they catch the perpetrators of this lie." "
I have one thing left to say.
If the truth gets revealed, if you have any self-worth left, apologize.
Catch the netizens that spread such false rumors?
What, are you going to bbing them and beat them up or something? kekekekekekekekekekeke
Smoke will not rise from an unlit chimney.
Just surfing the net results shows victims and witnesses
It's not too late so
Self-reflect. This is all the result of things you did in the past.
*Heaven must've been crazy : common saying for fate messing things up
*Iljin : slang term by elementary/middle school kids for troublemaker types that play around, drink, smoke, basically kids that do things that they shouldn't be doing at that age.
The writer is using this term (despite being much older) since they came to the states shortly after their 1st year of high school and never grew out of it. (Translator's opinion.)
*bbing : slang term for the practice of holding someone up in an alley and stealing their money & other stuffs. A kind of bullying.
*Can smoke rise from an unlit chimney? : Common saying in Korea that rumors don't come from nowhere.
The updated minihompy of Kangho's Cy.
On the side beneath his picture, it says "고소합니다." (I will report you.) to the police and possibly the courts (to sue).
(cutting out all the kekeke for the translator's own sanity)
(keke) these fans are so fucking retarded (keke)I heard from an unni that went to his middle school (keke) it's true that his dad's a gangster and has a fucking lot of money and that he was the top iljin (keke) said there's no one in Kangnam that didn't know him (keke) and he got uglier after his surgery... ke...said it was a long time ago......

(+Edit 11/8 4:26 / Some people are asking how you all would know that his dad's a gang member but aside from this person
Go to Jisik* or another anonymous cafe and you'll see that his peers are saying he was infamous in Kangnam's Seocho area and
everyone knew his dad was a gang member so no one could touch him)

*shibal : swear word related to a man's testicles. Don't go saying this in public!
*gwangsoo : comes from a manhwa about a guy named Gwangsoo. His trademark is to lie, but really really tragically pathetic lies. Such as, dropping his pencil during an exam to cheat off of a paper and saying "But my pencil was stuck to the floor!" when they asked him why he was leaning over so long.
From comments on StarNews about the news article
- What kind of ways did fans and family use to find her Heh, man (keke)
- Yul! Hyul! Gang-! Gan!*
- Also, something about doing this out of jealousy that Yulhyul Kangho became an entertainer?
.
I don't think many people here knew about Co-ed when he was still just Yulhyul Kangho (and not Yulhyul Ganggan)?
.
How jealous do you think she was of a group of nobodies to have written that?
.
How much of it, is true or false? Mister Reporter?
.
When media becomes nothing more than a lapdog in front of money, it's not really news -- something you should already know well?
*ganggan : rape

Some of you let me know about the news article and asked me for details on the netizens' reactions. Sorry for being late.
While these blogs aren't official reports by any stretch of the imagination, I think it's important to balance out the new reports with the undercurrent of opinions. Especially on a subject like this.
