Career Changes, Double Personalities, and Drops in Fame

December 2012

1. Member A of a popular group that earned widespread success this year seems to have lost interest in his career as a singer. They say that A is looking into other options with the money he's made so far after losing all interest. According to those around him, he's never had interest in the career to begin with and is no longer even trying to gain any skills. He has received a love call from another big agency but he is not showing any signs of moving agencies, nor is he meeting up with his current members anymore. Some say that he's looking into becoming an art teacher. Is it that he dreams of a normal life? 

2. Famous and talented actor B is known for his many box office hits and passion for his craft, as well as for being one of the nicest people you can ever meet. They say that his main topic of interest with friends or family is about movie or the arts, but there's one downfall to him, and it's his complete change in personality once he drinks. He becomes so violent that he once even beat up famous actor C. It's a shock that such a mannerly person can have such a contrasting side to him...

3. Top actor E is embroiled in a lot of different rumors, but the one brought up time and time again is one claiming that he's gay. Although he's highly popular with the ladies, this rumor has followed him without rest through the years. Fortunately, they say he just laughs them off, but there's one rumor he absolutely won't tolerate, and it's one that claims he often spends the night with middle aged actor F. Some overheard him complaining that his rumors with F absolutely drive him crazy.
Netizens say it's Kim Hyun Joong and Bae Yong Joon

4. Rookie actor A is a hot topic lately for his disrespectful actions. He shot up to superstardom with a popular drama, but maybe it's because he grew up under a wealthy family, they say that he's absolutely uncontrollable, as he treats his company staff like slaves. One associate commented, "His staff that worked so hard to put him in that drama feel absolutely betrayed right now. He seems to never have learned any manners from home. He got a taste of stardom way too fast and isn't grateful at all to his company." 

Netizens say it's Kim Soo Hyun

5. Actress D has become a blue chip in the CF industry since 2010, but she's now the #1 most avoided celebrity among advertisers. Many loved her for her beauty and easy-going personality, but they say that she's never lived up to her contracts in terms of turning out a profit. Now that D has gone public with her relationship, she's lost all contract offers, let alone re-contracts.
Netizens say it's Lee Min Jung

6. Actor D is earning some criticism for enjoying a bit too much of his kiss scenes in his drama. Producers cringed when they heard how hard he was sucking on the lips of his co-star through their headsets. One associate on the scene said, "The screen only shot the angle from his shoulders so he didn't really have to kiss her, but he sucked on her lips so hard that it made the set awkward. The actress later said that she didn't even expect the kiss."
Most say it's Jung Ill Woo while others say it's Lee Min Ho

7. Former girl group member and actress A was recently spotted sobbing in public. A used to be in a girl group that had earned hot popularity, even winning #1 on music programs. Once she started her solo promotions, however, she was never able to reclaim the same level of fame. Although she's currently starring in a mini-series, it seems she'll never achieve the status she had before. Her agency switched out her van for a cheaper vehicle, leading her to begin crying in the car while complaining, "Are you seriously making me ride the car that my choreography team used when I used to be in the girl group?"
