More Details Revealed on What Happened the Day of Lee Tae Im and Yewon’s Conflict

[theemii.livejournal.com]

Media outlet Dispatch traveled to Jeju Island, the filming location of “Tutoring Across Generations,” in order to piece together what happened the day of Lee Tae Im and Yewon‘s conflict.

Dispatch interviewed people who participated in the “Tutoring Across Generations” filming. An old lady who participated in the filming as a diver was one of the people interviewed. The lady explained that she had already met Lee Tae Im before for a previous filming. She described Lee Tae Im as a kind girl who was like a daughter to her.


1. Before the filming
When the lady heard the news that Lee Tae Im cursed and screamed at Yewon, she was very surprised. However, she did point out that Lee Tae Im looked extremely distressed that day. When Lee Tae Im arrived at her house, she cried while telling the lady that she had failed in all areas of her career, and was sure that her drama “My Heart Twinkle Twinkle” was not going to end well.

2. During the meal
The lady also revealed that before filming in the ocean, Yewon, Lee Jae Hoon, and Lee Tae Im dined together. Because Yewon and Lee Tae Im had met for the first time, Yewon introduced herself and even sang some of her songs to help Lee Tae Im recognize her. Lee Tae Im also told Yewon the movies and dramas she featured in.

3. Right before the diving scene
Right before Lee Tae Im had to go in the water, the lady shared that the actress looked happy. According to her, Lee Tae Im was singing to herself and even had friendly conversations with the staff.

4. During the filming
Lee Tae Im, Lee Jae Hoon, and some of the divers, including the old lady, went into the icy winter ocean. Yewon and a Vietnamese diver named Luenkini waited outside the water.

5. Lee Tae Im comes out of water earlier than expected
After 30 minutes of being in the water, Lee Tae Im came out. Other divers had not noticed that Lee Tae Im left them, as they were busy catching fish in the water. When Lee Tae Im was out, Yewon came up to her asking, “Aren’t you cold?” According to Luenkini, this was when Lee Tae Im suddenly burst out in anger and started cursing at Yewon. Luenkini explained that Yewon did not talk down to Lee Tae Im, which was what Lee Tae Im had claimed. There was no apparent reason for Lee Tae Im to be mad at the singer. However, Lee Tae Im went on cursing and screaming for around two to three minutes. Yewon teared up during this time.

Luenkini explained, “I was so surprised. Yewon just asked her if she was cold but Lee Tae Im suddenly changed. She cursed with words I couldn’t understand. She even raised her hand as if to hit her. The staff had to come and stop her.” She then added, “Yewon didn’t do anything to make her mad. Everything just happened abruptly.”

6. Afterwards
After the outburst, Lee Tae Im stopped filming and left the set. Yewon went into a bathroom and cried for about thirty minutes. After coming out, she comforted the startled staff and claimed that she was okay. Luenkini showed Dispatch a picture that she took with Yewon after the incident. In the picture, Yewon has swollen eyes after crying.

According to a staff of the show, Yewon filmed the ending with Lee Jae Hoon because Lee Tae Im had left the scene. “No one would have been surprised if [Yewon] said she wanted to leave. She was treated [horribly by Lee Tae Im]… But Yewon firmly said that she wanted to film the ending,” said the staff member.

Wow that was uncalled for

[patentpending.livejournal.com]

Seems to me she was irritated from being asked a stupid question. It happens to me all the time, especially if I'm already in a bad mood. It's winter and she was just in the freezing ocean, of course she's cold. I hate being asked obvious stupid questions, it irritates me to no end. But that said I don't use it as an excuse to go off on people. Usually I just roll my eyes or don't give an answer. It's funny that she doesn't want to admit that's the case though. It's far more understandable to be irritated by a stupid question and harsh filming conditions and just apologize about the outburst than make up a whole story about Yewon being disrespectful when there are plenty of witnesses to refute that.

in korean 'arent you cold' probably was something like 춥지 않으세요? and people often say that sort of thing in general all the time in winter like... sort of like hurry inside to where its warm or go put a coat on or just to show theyre worrying that youre cold not like..... being a dummy and asking if youre cold like they dont know because obviously everyone is

[patentpending.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see I see.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I don't speak korean but I feel like the question was more of an implied like... "Aren't you cold? You should go get warm?/Do you need help warming up?Etc."

Idk usually when dumb questions are asked that's usually the case, or maybe Yewon was just amazed that Tae Im spent so much time in the freezing water.

[xxyumekaxx.livejournal.com]

Idk, I always regarded those type of questions as small talk, like the typical 'how are you'. Unless it's a good friend, no one really wants to know how you really feel right now, it's just some friendly chatter.
The same with the 'Are you cold?' question. Personally I think it's just because the person wants to show their concern (in a passive way). A lot of people are also taught (or copy) how other people act, so if you act differently than expected, people react confused/irritated to it (e.g. instad replying 'I'm fine' to the how are you question you ask 'What do you mean? Do you mean how I'm feeling now emotionally? Or financially? Or how I was doing the whole year?)

tl;dr: it's some psychological and cultural thing.

what kind of princess..... yewon is the best

[doren-e.livejournal.com]

one of the various reaons i always loved yewon, she can balance being funny and mature, you go girl <3

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

This makes her interview even worse because it shows she clearly met Yewon before and had dinner with her *smh*

Then when everyone else was like, "We have receipts" her agency sent out that press release apologizing BUT it still pushes the "they never met and her banmal upset her" story which is clearly untrue

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

A story of how to end a career and how to start one. I never really cared much about Yewon before but not only do I feel bad for her, I respect her amount of professionalism and I think she seems like a really nice person.

[xxyumekaxx.livejournal.com]

Props to Yewon, she really reacted great to it.

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

i feel bad for both girls. lee tae im shouldn't have snapped at Yewon like that but fear/worry/stress can do that you a person. i hope they both do well and things work out for them

[nana-the-dwarf.livejournal.com]

Couldn't she just say she was under a lot of stress and apologized to Yewon instead of making some wild story about Yewon being rude? This only makes her look all the more dramatic and unprofessional.

[kicking-tenshi.livejournal.com]

I saw the pictures used (w/ LTI looking all genial-like and Yewon looking like she could cut a bitch) and was prepared for anti-Yewon talks but it turns out she was basically an angel. It's a really shitty feeling getting wrongly cussed out, so props to her for being professional

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

wait... what pictures??? the ones Dispatch talked about?

[kicking-tenshi.livejournal.com]

lol sorry, no just the pics this post used w/ their head shots.

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

no, it's ok! ty for clearing this up lol ita with what you said in your original comment

[leighbee333.livejournal.com]

I feel like where Lee Tae-im really screwed up is her post-freakout conduct with the lies, evading responsibility, and not immediately apologizing to Yewon.... She's obviously experiencing some sort of mental breakdown due to depression/career anxiety/etc. so I don't want to be too harsh, but her behavior is really disappointing.

Props to Yewon for handling it gracefully.

[sundaetea.livejournal.com]

This is horrible for both women and in different ways. Obviously Lee Tae Im made a mistake with the blow out and the faux apology, but I don't think her career should be affected by it. And Yewon is awesome for handling it the way she has.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

We're still talking about that? Why is it so important?
Perhaps ppl absolutely needed to recognize an angel and a devil in this story. Lol, this is kind of ridic. Yewon is not an angel or whatever and that actress is not some evil creature. Unfortunate event, unprofessionalism, misunderstandings and difficult times in life. It doesn't mean much about their irl personalities. Next.

You said everything I wanted to say.

Are they filming a drama or an extreme survival show?? Why are they even diving in ice cold water?? That would drive me crazy too tbh

[figus204.livejournal.com]

Unless Jewon did something wrong she had no reason to snap at her, and even less to afterward lie about the whole situation. She was obviously at her breaking point for some reason but just going off at someone that hasn't done anything wrong is just not ok. She has to deal with her problems.

Well this is all about to be turned on its head when the updated story plus video of the scene comes out...
