Aftermath of assault case, netizens angry at KangIn’s lie? KangIn to end MC duties on ‘Miracle’

[theuncolored.livejournal.com]

Super Junior KangIn has been put on a non-restraint rule with his involvement in recent case of assault.

KangIn was recently involved in an assault case in a drinking bar on the early morning of 16th September in Seoul.

Now netizens are angry, not at the fact that KangIn participated in the fight, but that he lied that he did participate in the fight.

It was said that KangIn was provoked into the fight with several other drunk white collar workers. Part of the reason was that KangIn is a celebrity and had stood out in the crowd for easy target.

It is understandable at the age of 24, it can be hard to hold back on the emotions and to throw a fist back at the other party when provoked.

When he was initially brought to the KangNam police station for investigations, he had insisted that he had not taken part in the fight at all.

But the CCTV tape results revealed on 21st September showed that KangIn had indeed participated in the physical fight. A police officer has also stated, “Even though it was obvious that he tried to avoid the fight, he gave in to his emotions eventually and took part in the fight.”

With that, many netizens are disappointed with the fact that he had lied about the incident.

SM Entertainment has also came out to speak, “So sorry to have caused such an topic as a public figure. Sorry to everyone who was worried. We will make sure no such incident will happen again.”

Netizens say:

* “I can understand the fight was due to a mistake, but I cannot forgive the fact that he lied”
* “What about his young fans, when he is lying?”
* “I’m not that angry but I’m glad this whole case is closed”
* “I feel that they should not put young idols who are not so matured on TV as much – bad influence”

Meanwhile, KangIn has been taken off the MC duties for KBS ‘Human Network Miracle’. It was revealed on 22nd September. He will not be joining the filming from 28th September.

I think Korean media should stop giving a fuck about what the netizens' think.

[hey-insomnia.livejournal.com]

MTE. If they care a lot about what netizens think then they should expand the scope of their coverage and not just report all the negativity.

[hey-insomnia.livejournal.com]

FUUUUU. Srsly, i'm tired of this whole BS with the netizens. They're acting like they own these idols and they don't have the right to get a life outside of stardom.

[djclazzi.livejournal.com]

I wonder if this will affect SJ-T's supposed comeback D:

[mls-addxn.livejournal.com]

I hope not. I'm going to rage if that happens. >_<

[azureanimelover.livejournal.com]

Seriously...
This is absurd.
He had no choice but to fight back as self-defense. He wasn't really involved in the fighting. He was just protecting himself.
Why can't they just give them a break?
Netizens are so critical. I mean they were mad Chansung littered.
Just because they are celebrities doesn't mean they aren't human and make mistakes. We all do.
I'm sick of all this.

[diadust.livejournal.com]

THIS. No one is perfect, why are they making a mountain out of a molehill! =((

[fauxflair.livejournal.com]

yes every article must be about what the netizens think, what the netizens say, what the netizens THIS, what the netizens THAT jfc SHUT THE FUCK UP OKAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

If he gets kicked out of Super Junior, I swear

DON'T. EVEN.

[hobutt.livejournal.com]

Netizens ruin EVERYTHING.

[azureanimelover.livejournal.com]

IA.
LOL. I love your icon. It made me laugh.

[maisoui.livejournal.com]

I'm glad he fought back. Kangin don't take no shit! (http://community.livejournal.com/capslock_suju/62434.html)

And is this whole lie thing so surprising? There's always a lot of finger pointing in these kinds of situations. lol Didn't the other guy lie as well? Lie moar, Kangin♥

[honeydice.livejournal.com]

They never say anything good.

[dreamsbytheedge.livejournal.com]

And please, if someone comes up to you and start throwing punches at your face, you would fight back too, dammit. And why are they giving so much heck to what the netizens think? Fuck this, idols have their own life.

Kangin Kim Youngwoon, I love you, and I will forever support you. And I believe most, if not all of OMONA and SJ-WORLD.NET too. Be strong. ♥

[sup-homeskillet.livejournal.com]

yes, he said that A) he was innocent, B) that he was attacked, and C) that he did not throw the punches. these statements can be interpreted any number of ways, and the fact is that he was forced into self defense. he is innocent of starting the fight, he was attacked, and he didn't throw the first punches. OH GOD THE LIES, THE LIES! NETIZENS, YOU SHINE DOWN LIKE BRILLIANT BEACONS OF HEAVENLY LIGHT IN THE FILTHY PUS-FILLED MIRE OF YOUR IDOL'S SEEMINGLY LIMITLESS INADEQUACIES.

[oracy.livejournal.com]

...I know we're all supposed to be kind of pissed that bitches behind screens are ruining people's lives again, but your comment made me laugh.

It was the highlight of my day. Thank you.

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

What did they want him to say, 'Yes I was involved but only to defend myself'? I believe most of them would have stopped listening at Yes and gone ape shit. Technically since it was self defense he wasn't involved in instigating the fight so he's not obliged to say that he was involved, his 'involvement' was forced.

Korean Netizens please come down to earth. You are not God.

[oracy.livejournal.com]

Was just counting the seconds until this was going to pop up.

They don't have a name, they don't have a face, they're just a collective bunch of messages on a screen, but the media reports their opinions like they matter.

What douchebags. Seriously, they all need to go out and get laid a life.

[dreamsbytheedge.livejournal.com]

THIS. THIS SO MUCH.

[audiobebop.livejournal.com]

Those fuckers always have something to say.

[thisisfierce.livejournal.com]

“What about his young fans, when he is lying?”
Honestly?I dont give a fuck if he lied. I'm just glad the stupid incident's closed and he can stop stressing over it

[oracy.livejournal.com]

...but now he gets to stress again because bitches are starting shit ):

[theprerogative.livejournal.com]

Fucking netizens can really just go get a real life. This entitlement crap needs to end. For crying out loud, where are the ELFs?

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

For crying out loud, where are the ELFs?

IKR!!! this is the same thing with hottest. they "say" there was more people for than against jay during it but i beg to differ 'cause his ass is gone (for now?).

i said this once and i'll say it again, netizens who like to keep up shit have the loudest voices. everyone else gets drowned out in their noise.

[cherjae.livejournal.com]

erm.... the netizens arent his parents or friends or fans even for that matter... who cares whether they forgive him or not.. i dont think he cares for their forgiveness anyway.

get a life instead of finding fault with every celeb out there.. hahah

[oracy.livejournal.com]

I think your icon is my sentiments in an icon.

[emiliecious.livejournal.com]

korean netizens should just gtfo earth. they are pissing me off beyond belief. is it wrong to be human? they are so damn ignorant.

[seidy.livejournal.com]

Poor Kangin D:

Since he is one of famous idols, jealous people netizens won't let him go until they ruin his life with this case.

I hope ELF would not turn their back and would still support him.

[azureanimelover.livejournal.com]

ELF will always support Kangin and Super Junior.

[riiche.livejournal.com]

you know what, the netizens are just going to keep going at it until they bring down everyone in kpop.

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

OMG. This.

[unmanlyerroses.livejournal.com]

Nuuuuuuu Kangin! They make it seem like such a scandal, but I bet if the netizens were caught in the same situation...they wouldn't see it the same way

[azureanimelover.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly.

[vanny92.livejournal.com]

If Kangin had just said that he fought back in self-defense in his first statement, I doubt this would have been an issue.

As much as I think the netizens are batshit crazy, the truth is, Kangin did lie into our faces by saying he wasn't involved in the fight.

Public figure or not, giving false statements is pretty much illegal in anycase.

For once, I think that the netizens do have a point there.

iawtc

[cherryweds.livejournal.com]

but still, netizens shouldn't go all apeshit over this.

you know what though. this just made me think - at least jay had the balls to tell the truth

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

he lied about... what exactly? in my eyes self-defense is not taking part of something. you tried to get away (as he did try to do) but couldn't get away and had no choice but to fight back in an attempt to defend yourself. you don't want to but the person/people attacking you has left with you no choice.

these netizens need to shut the fuck up and the media needs to stop caring what they think.

[twistedhalo04.livejournal.com]

Netizens have to learn to shut their traps. Seriously.
