Rumor mill

1. Actor B, who is at the height of his career right now, has reportedly caught the celebrity disease. B was a star in a very popular drama recently and has been rising as a bluechip in the CF world thanks to the love of his fans. The problem lies in his difference in attitude. Usually known for his refreshing personality, he's maintained a positive relationship with broadcasting officials until he recently threw a fit in while at a private recording for a music program. He had asked if the show could go out of their way to make it public specifically for him, which producers could not comply with. In the end, he threw a fit with them.

2. Hallyu star C is currently starring in a popular drama and is regarded as the figure responsible for the high viewer ratings. Unfortunately, despite his lead role status and importance to the drama, he's said to be receiving subpar treatment from those around him. Despite it all, he remained nice towards them until it finally became too much for him when he wasn't invited to any year-end event, causing him to break out in tears. His company had to step in for him to get him a few invites and onto nomination lists as a supporting actor. His pride had already been too hurt at this point so he asked to be removed. C had actually received invites from 20 other Chinese award ceremonies but had declined them all for his domestic schedules and to keep his loyalty to the broadcast officials he thought he could trust. Unfortunately, the year-end did not turn out how he expected.

3. Former child actress E is making a round on the gossip table among insiders due to her personality. She makes too many requests for events to comply with. While at the music video film set for another singer in Thailand, she requested a specific brand of water that had staff running around in search for. Even veteran actors that she recently starred in said nothing when producers begrudgingly complied with all of her requests because they didn't want to deal with the drama that would ensue if they didn't. Although E has made a successful transformation from a child to an adult actress, she might need more than just her skills to continue her success.

It's not him. King of Dramas hasn't had very high viewer ratings at all (which baffles me because it's such an awesome drama).

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

man, number two makes me so sad.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

I don't know it's just my guess but it would make sense imo. He's in My Daughter Seo Young and the ratings for that drama are around 40%. Though I don't if he's considered a hallyu star?

If this is how loyalty is repaid by broadcast companies, I can't blame any celebrity who decides to screw them over.

#2 makes me so sad omg :(

[0nlymemories.livejournal.com]

3 sounds like Park Shin Hye, she's the only child-to-adult actress I can think of right now who's doing well. I think she visited Thailand in 2012?

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Apparently it's Kim Min Jeong

[misstennis.livejournal.com]

I only just remembered he was in FO too. :/

His company had to step in for him to get him a few invites and onto nomination lists as a supporting actor

that's so...sad and pathetic...glad it's none of my faves.

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

#2 That's sad, why are they being jerks to him. ;_;

[0nlymemories.livejournal.com]

1 sounds more like Lee Hyun Woo than it does Song Joong Ki, since LHW is in the middle of a hosting gig right now, and any rumor about SJK would almost assuredly contain a reference to A Werewolf Boy.

I'm sort of curious to know if 2 is about Yoochun, he seemed to have a much bigger year this year than his drama awards listed on Dramawiki would imply, it looks like almost all of the ones he won were fan-vote based. And it's not like broadcast officials don't have a reason to screw him over.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

The article I linked pretty much confirms it's SJK though.
Yoochun was invited to SBS & MBC and won like 6 awards in total. Definitely not him. Plus I Miss You doesn't have great ratings.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

People seem to agree #3 is Kim Min Jeong

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Is Park Hae Jin a Hallyu star?

I thought it was well known Kim Min Jeong was bratty?

So Joongki finally caught the Celebrity bug, oh well hopefully he'll calm down.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Song Joongki?! Noooooooooooo!

I was hoping #1 is Kim Soohyun (like he's always alluded to in blind items/rumors about being a dick off screen.)

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

Idk it doesn't say he's a jerk and apparently that was a one time thing since they say he never had any problem before. Plus what does "throwing a fit" even mean?

[lenra.livejournal.com]

i thought #3 was Moon Geun Young, i hope it's not.

and number 2 it's sad, poor Haejin if it's really him.

#1 it's not a big deal if it was a disagreement regarding his work imo.

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

#2 is so sad, but I'm disappointed #1 is Joong Ki. I hope this is just a phase that he's letting fame go to head, and he will get over it soon. I don't want to stan someone who acts like a jerk.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

I don't say this as a delusional stan but I don't see what's so wrong about #1 tbh. He wanted an audience, they didn't, so the plans fell through. I mean the "throwing a fit" part is a bit confusing.

[muhnaplusmuhna.livejournal.com]

My heart breaks at #2 :( Hang in there, whoever you are.

[star-riku.livejournal.com]

This post reminds me that I've been meaning to throw this question out here for a while:

Does anyone know any open secrets/rumors commonly known in k-fandom that isn't as well known by international fans? I've always sort of been interested in the disconnect between the two groups, you know? Doesn't really matter who it pertains to, I just want gossip ^__^.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

lysblack knows everything apparently :P

[goldilocks2.livejournal.com]

Song Joong Ki...I'm kind of shocked because i thought it was Kim So Hyun :(

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm sad for #2....

Meh it sounds like #1 was a disagreement with the staff...one incident does not make a big ego

Ummm...Kim Min Jeong is my age...that's a bit old to refer to as bratty and transitioning into adult roles LOL

[zombiechick815.livejournal.com]

I'm always so horrible at figuring these out -_-

But I really hope #1 isn't Joong Ki. If you go back and watch Running Man when he was still on he does so many little things that make him seem so sweet and caring. Especially with fans and kids.

[tlict.livejournal.com]

So sad about #2. And if it really is hae jin ahjadhfnkdu, I love that guy.

[21banged.livejournal.com]

omg I feel terrible for #2, especially if it is Haejin... he was so hilarious and sweet on FO :C

[alchemywow.livejournal.com]

My first thought was that #2 was Kim Dongwan, but Hae Jin makes a lot of sense. Poor kid.

[kris-kt.livejournal.com]

#1 SJK he is seriously EVERYWHERE here in Korea so of course it wouldn't surprise me if the fame went to his head tbh ~~~~

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Aww, poor #2. He needs a hug & some real friends
