Yoo Ah In, Heechul, and Lee Seung Gi: Male stars criticized for their “double standards” 

Male celebrities who have proudly expressed their beliefs are disappointing the public with their “double standards.”

Yoo Ah In, who once took a jab at Han Seo Hee for drugs, is accused of illegal use of propofol and marijuana

Recently, Yoo Ah In came under suspicion of illegal use of propofol and marijuana. On February 13th, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said in a briefing, “We plan to conduct an additional investigation as soon as the results of the drug analysis of actor Yoo Ah In, who is suspected of habitual use of propofol, are released.”

As a result, the advertising industry has taken steps to “erase” Yoo Ah In. The release of his upcoming works are also in danger. 

The public is showing even more disappointment in Yoo Ah In because in the past, Yoo Ah In publicly took a jab at trainee-turned-influencer Han Seo Hee for her illegal drug use. While having a Twitter “war” with Han Seo Hee, Yoo Ah In used the pill emoticon and mocked her for causing the drug crime.

“No matter how much I reflect, there is nothing wrong with swearing at school violence,” said Kim Heechul, who attended the wedding of a perpetrator of school violence

On February 9th, Kim Heechul was under fire for various inappropriate remarks and swearing he made while doing a live broadcast with BJ Choi.

During the live broadcast, he heavily criticized perpetrators of school violence. He also mentioned Kangin, who left Super Junior in 2019 due to two DUI accidents and assault at a bar. Kim Heechul described the situation at the time of Kangin’s assault and called Kangin a “real man”.  

As the controversy grew, Kim Heechul posted an apology, saying, “Regardless of the right or wrong of what I think, I apologize for overusing profanity and vulgar expressions and showing double standards.”

He added, “I am most sorry to the fans who were hurt by the controversy I created. I will not get involved in any controversy in the future after this incident. No matter how much I reflect, I think there is nothing wrong with swearing at school violence.”

Kim Heechul is being called out for acting hypocritically with his remarks over school violence, because he attended and hosted the wedding of YouTuber Haneul, who admitted to committing school violence. It is ironic to see him stay friends with a perpetrator of school violence while harshly criticizing bullying.

Lee Seung Gi, who was a victim in a settlement scam, becomes the son-in-law of an economic criminal

On February 7th, Lee Seung Gi announced his marriage to actress Lee Da In, who is also famous as Kyeon Mi Ri’s daughter. Because of this, disappointment and criticism toward Lee Seung Gi poured out.

Lee Seung Gi recently went through a dispute with his former agency over unpaid music revenue. He said, “The value of someone’s sweat shouldn’t be unfairly used for someone’s greed.” However, this April, by marrying Lee Da In, he will be the son-in-law of an economic criminal who was sentenced to prison for making unfair profits by manipulating stock prices.

Lee Seung Gi, who was scammed by his former agency, is ironically marrying into a scammer’s family. This has disappointed the public and fans.

Kyeon Mi Ri’s husband, Lee Seung Gi’s future father-in-law, was sentenced to prison in 2011 for manipulating stock prices and making unfair profits. Later, in 2016, he was arrested on the same charge and sentenced to 4 years in prison and a fine of 2.5 billion won in the first trial, but was acquitted in the appeals court.
