It’s wild that jtbc didn't verify this properly given how libel laws work in South Korea and hybe’s general attitude towards using those laws.

I’m very glad he wasn’t as much of a danger to himself and others as originally thought, but If I see another stan going ‘well haters were obviously being just hatersss’ I will scream lmao. It was reported by a respected news source, of course people believed it over a celebrity who has proven himself to be messy in the past. Genuinely some of you need to go outside.

And he still operated the motorized scooter drunk and that still is thought of seriously in South Korea. So the takes of 'this isn't a big deal' are not really accurate.

Yes, I totally agree.

Agreed, I think the fan reaction to this update is acting like it fully absolves him or that it still isn't a big deal, when all it really does is show he didn't lie after the fact. He still did it, and it was still dangerous and wrong.

yeah people can’t even make “malicious comments” (ONTD would be out of business) without defamation laws kicking in so this seems very sus to not have properly verified footage
