โChoe recounted getting a massage from a masseuse he calls "Rose." He said he got an erection during his massage and began masturbating, despite Rose being visibly uncomfortable.โ salon.com/2023/04/13/beeโฆ
โChoe then asked Rose for oil. When she poured it on him, he said he grabbed her hand and placed it on his penis. He asked her to spit on and kiss it, and she said no โ twice.โ

There are lots of articles about the low birthrate in Korea. I will probably never have kids, and my reason is simple: I donโt want to go through what my parents went through. Like spending their salary on hagwon fees to nunchi game at work balancing long work hrs w child caring
They spent a good chunk of their salary on various hagwons. Was it bc they were tiger mom and dad? Maybe. But if you went thru a Korean educational system, itโs hard to deny the importance of hagwon in your childโs education. Hagwon fees will knock off 1/3 of your monthly salary

I listened to the entire @VICE podcast about @blobyblo and Tajinyeo. Some stuff that caught me by surprise.
1. His cousin Sam, who went to the same high school/college as Tablo, wrote scathing online comments about Tablo, possibly leading the public to doubt his credentials. 2. Basically Sam and Tablo both grew up in very competitive environment, which led them from a prestigious intl school to Stanford. Tablo claims Sam asked him how he got into Stanford bc Tablo wasnโt the typical studious type. Sam allegedly credited his recommendation.
Messages from BTS ARMY๐๐ผ
Some sides the public is unaware of.
Abusive msgs from many ARMY fans come after I pointed out how BTS handpicked a song w the credit to Jung Bobby, a musician indicted w sex crimes, on their upcoming album, and how that might be inappropriate given the bandโs efforts to promote anti-violence.

A Korean broadcaster played โMinariโ for free over the holidays. I overheard a group of ajummas talking about how โlameโ and โboringโ the film was, and wondering how Youn had won the Oscars when โshe just cried and barely spoke English.โ
Made me think about my own gaze.
I guess my point is not every struggle is universal and assuming any Asians would just automatically identify with characters in "Minari" might be a tad bit... (insert a word). And we should be careful about amplifying only certain reactions.
