1. [+221, -3] How nugu was the group he was a part of that nobody knows who this guy is no matter how hard they rack their heads ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

2. [+152, -2] A man who debuted as an idol group last year... Well if he's working as an acting instructor now, that means he wasn't even that popular to begin with. Who is it!!!!!!!!! A group that disbanded after barely a year into their debut~

3. [+121, -10] Reminds me of what happened with gagman Kim Gi Soo... ㅠ He could be a victim in this case like him so don't jump to conclusions so fast yet

7. [+13, -6] Looks like I'm too early, I'll give you guys until lunch time

I had no idea Chaos broke up. I really liked them.

[jesymphony.livejournal.com]

Even a netizen her/himself realized how fast netizens can figure things like this out, haha.

But wow, this is unfortunate.
I feel bad for the victim in this, if it turns out the allegations against A are true. :(

[bob-dabuilda.livejournal.com]

Damn man. I hope netizens come up with the identity AFTER police get evidence/press charges. One thing that would suck is if they come out with the identity and it turns out the charges are false and dropped. Then he'd be screwed with both the scandal and being outed.

If the charges have merit, then IDGAF about him being outed.

That's horrible. I hope the victim gets justice and it gets worked out properly. I feel like it'd be easy for neitzens to find who this is if they do a "where are they now" on the suspected Park Taeyang.

The thing about sexual assault that scares me is that, you can never //really// tell from looking or momentary interactions who can be can an assailant.

Oh dear. If this is true.....

[evivante.livejournal.com]

Chaos Park Taeyang? First I've heard of the group and the member today, lol. I googled and he's cute!

If it is him though, he needs the retribution and the victim needs to get his justice.

This is horrible.

No wonder they disbanded.

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

There was an article about this on akp, Park Taeyang has said that it's not him. Everything does line up, except that he's not working as an acting coach. He's "working for the marketing team of a cosmetic surgery clinic" since the group's break up. http://www.allkpop.com/article/2013/06/chaoss-park-taeyang-refutes-netizens-speculations-about-being-idol-a-accused-of-sexual-harassment

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I wonder if netizens have found out who A is...

And he sounds pretty happy, I'm glad.

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

idk, it seems to me like they don't really care enough to research it well. I get the feeling it's someone from a super nugu group, and then we'll probably never find out about it...

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

It seems like one person said it was Taeyang and everyone rolled with it because he matched up to what was stated in the article. I do think it's a super nugu group who probably never got to promote on shows and stuff.

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

That's the impression I get as well.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad. ;__;

[asth77.livejournal.com]

I hope the guy will get punished.

[rennehollic.livejournal.com]

I hope that the guilty one gets his punishment.
and wow, CHaos disbanded? when did that happened?

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

Kinda sad chaos broke up. They had vocal talent and potential. Dems da breaks in the crowded idol industry I guess.

Anyways, I hope the victim in this situation is able to heal form being harrassed and the assailant is punished. :(

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

This is horrible!!!

I really hope the vicitim gets justice and the culprit gets punished!!!

[reelrecnizereel.livejournal.com]

Homosexuality =/= molestation

[cocodile.livejournal.com]

That is true. Still, anyone is capable of sexual harassment, regardless of sexuality.

[reelrecnizereel.livejournal.com]

Yeah I just had state that because I saw that a netizen had insinuated that connection on another article and got multiple thumbs up, a silly assumption I also had as a child.
