A shocking behind-the-scenes account of Celebrity A is drawing public outrage following a preview for next week’s episode of tvN’s Free Doctor M, aired on June 27.

During a segment teasing celebrity stories from entertainment journalists, one reporter recalled an interview that left her feeling deeply disrespected. Choi Jung Ah, a veteran reporter, shared, “There was one interview that really made me feel bad. The celebrity just lounged sideways on a sofa, fiddling with their phone throughout the conversation.”

Another journalist went even further, accusing the same celebrity of mistreating their manager. The reporter recounted, “They asked their manager to go back home and separate the trash. That’s clearly a personal errand, and it shouldn’t happen.”

Things escalated when the show previewed text messages allegedly sent by the celebrity to their manager during the early hours of the morning. The messages included harsh and humiliating words like:

  • “Someone like you shouldn’t make a living as a manager,”
  • “If you’re going to work like that, just quit. You should be grateful I even hired you.”

The manager responded with an apologetic, trembling tone: “I’m sorryㅜㅜ I’ll do better next time.” The one-sided exchange left viewers shocked and furious, accusing the celebrity of power harassment and verbal abuse.

However, not all stories were grim. The program also spotlighted some heartwarming tales about celebrities. Reporter Ahn Jin Yong shared a personal story involving actor Kim Woo Bin, whom he described as his personal “superstar.” According to Ahn, Kim once sent him a heartfelt letter and book with a message of encouragement. “The fact that he took the time to write me—just me—was deeply touching,” Ahn said.

While the teaser did not reveal the identity of Celebrity A, netizens are already speculating online, demanding accountability if the behavior proves true. The full segment is set to air next week, and anticipation is building as viewers brace for more names to potentially be revealed.
