There was a rush to hide and cover up past controversies and rumors. However, as times change, stars who coolly face controversies head on are appearing, and viewers are applauding them. The confident attitude of those who face controversy head on reflects the changing times.
◇ Shin Dong-yeop and Lee So-ra, reunion of past lovers = In ‘Supermarket Sora’, which was released on the YouTube channel ‘Mary & Sigma’ on the 6th, broadcaster Shin Dong-yeop and supermodel-turned-broadcaster Lee So-ra met and talked about various things. Shin Dong-yeop and Lee So-ra went public with their relationship in 1997 and broke up in 2001. Shin Dong-yeop married PD Seon Hye-yoon in 2006 and they have one son and one daughter.
When Shin Dong-yeop appeared, Lee So-ra said, “I wanted to meet you. I thought we would meet someday,” and “If I had known that we would meet like this today, I would have lived peacefully these past years.” Shin Dong-yeop said, “I am recording an important page in my life when I met you. I am full of things I am grateful and sorry for.” Their honest conversation that followed was enough to garner sympathy from viewers.
Lee Hye-young, who recently appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Sweet Brother Shin Dong-yeop’, attracted attention by mentioning her ex-husband Lee Sang-min. Lee Hye-young and Lee Sang-min married in 2004 and divorced in 2005. Lee Hye-young said she even visited the waiting room of ‘Knowing Brothers’ to meet Lee Sang-min. He said, “I did a program called ‘The Picture Thieves,’ and there was a waiting room for ‘Knowing Bros.’ I thought that if I ran into him every week, I would have to pretend to know him first so it would be easier, so I went to the waiting room. I went there, but he wasn’t there, and I haven’t seen him since. “he said.

◇ Cool explanation of discord rumors = Producer Na Young-seok and actor Bae Jeong-nam also explained the rumors of a break-up through the YouTube channel ‘Channel Fifteen Nights.’ The rumor of discord arose when PD Na and Bae Jeong-nam resurfaced in a video of a press conference for the entertainment program ‘Spanish Boarding House’ where PD Na said they were “friends who are faithful to their instincts.”
Producer Na said, “I didn’t even know there were rumors of discord. I wanted to have fun sharing Bae Jeong-nam’s character, but I didn’t know it would be misunderstood. It was my fault for causing misunderstanding. I apologize to Bae Jeong-nam.” Bae Jeong-nam said, “People asked, ‘Why did the producer cut off the show?’ At first, I thought it was a joke, but as stories like this continued, I thought, ‘I can’t do this.’”
There were also rumors of a feud between singer Jessie and Jay Park. Jessie is currently working at More Vision, an agency headed by Jay Park, and reports have emerged that Jessie has expressed her intention to terminate her exclusive contract after eight months. Last October, Jessie continued her broadcasting activities with her new song ‘Gum’, but did not appear on a music broadcast due to poor physical condition, sparking rumors of discord. In response to this, Jay Park and Jessie each posted a photo taken together on their SNS and dismissed it, saying, “There is no such thing as a discord.”
◇ This is possible because communication channels such as YouTube entertainment and SNS have increased = What they have in common is that they all opened their mouths through YouTube and SNS. The meeting took place in a private space, not on a broadcast, interview, or official statement. In the past, channels of communication between celebrities were limited to the media. Recently, YouTube entertainment has been in the spotlight, and most people run personal YouTube channels, making editing easier and more comfortable for them. In addition, the smoother communication with fans through SNS is also contributing to the cool attitude of celebrities.
Honest and cool behavior increases public favor. It takes courage to come to the fore rather than hide and cover up, and the public applauds such courage. In fact, netizens poured out responses such as “Thank you for having the courage,” “It’s actually amazing that it was revealed through entertainment,” and “It’s better to be direct than to hide it.” These days, among young people, it is accepted as cool to admit quickly and honestly even if you make a mistake. Moreover, taboos such as discord, divorce, and breakup are not only cool, but also create catharsis by breaking taboos. The social atmosphere, which is more tolerant of divorce, breakup, and discord than before, also adds strength to their voices.
