PD of "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" involved in Jang Jayeon's suicide

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

The PD who’s in charge of "My ID Is Gangnam Beauty" is called Song Byungjoon. This person was included in Jang Jayeon’s list (T/N: Jang Jayeon is an actress who committed suicide because she had been sexually and physically abused by a number of high executives in the entertainment industry. She wrote a “list” of 31 people whom she was forced to “host”). Jason Kim who used to be her manager was arrested for charges about sexually harassing her, using violence, taking drugs, etc. but since he only acknowledged to the violence charges, he only went to prison for 4 months. When Jang Jayeon committed suicide, she wrote a list containing 31 men who sexually and physically abused her and one of them is Song Byungjoon. I really like the drama but because of this person, I’m just gonna stick to the webtoon. Please don’t watch the drama.





OP note: We had a post in 2011 with 10 names that netizens were able to uncover. Song Byungjoon was indeed on that list.

Has there been an investigation into the list since her death?

i honestly wanted to watch this cause my bby eunwoo is the lead actor, but since the pd was one of the awful shithead's behind jang ja yeon's suicide, i can't watch it knowing what he (and countless monsters) did.

eunwoo, i love you, but i can't support your drama. sorry.

i watched the first two episodes yesterday cause i was bored, and it seemed like a cute fluffy drama (eventhough the story itself is questionable, sis was ugly as a kid but then she got plastic surgery and now everybody loves her? reminds me of that netflix show that also sparked critism), but now i won't continue watching it (unless they switch the PD, but i've read that it's a pre-taped drama?)

I watched them before knowing this. Actually I didn't really get that she was loved now. Her face seems more acceptable but she is also being sexually harassed, belittled, demeaned, and made fun of secretly for it. That's what interested me in the story in the first place BC no matter what she did society was trash and until she likes herself she will never find that acceptance she was craving.


But as for the PD knowing this it makes my stomach lurch. Especially knowing the actors were fine with it themselves because it wasn't them. Just trash all around I see.

I'm confused about one thing... everywhere I read, this name doesn't appear related to the drama. I think I missing something. Always read Choi Sung Bum as the PD - I even think he was the one at the press conference. unless this piece of shit is like a higher up executive in the production company responsible for the drama...

this man still getting money like nothing happened, the world is terrible.
also feel bad for staff and actors who might not even know about his involvement and are just doing their job.

edit: just noticed that maybe the information about which occupation this man has over the drama is the pink part, writeen in korea, posted here and I just couldn't understand. if that's the case, sorry for my questioning, OP.
