I'm not that familiar yet with Korean actors and KPop but I saw this video after I sat through Rotten Mango's episode about the Parasite actor and now I'm deep in this rabbit hole.
On the actor, I've seen coverage by our local media in the Philippines as this was all happening and I don't remember even once that it was reported anywhere that his test actually tested negative even after news about his death. Now the dude from BTS was also on our media almost daily at one point but I don't remember hearing about the vehicle being a scooter. I thought it was that serious so I'm just shocked after seeing that cctv. I didn't even know DUI on a scooter or bicycle is ever a thing. But the dude was even on a sidewalk and going so slow.
Do correct me if this is inaccurate and our local media is just bad at picking up and fact checking international news and if this video is actually fact-based.
But if this is really happening I'm just baffled at how the media and the police seem to always get away with these unethical practices that some targets, despite their success and achievements, could ultimately feel hopeless and powerless and just accept defeat. And how has this become so normalized? Why does the law seem to not protect its citizens enough that even the famous and rich can fall into victim? And what is the truth behind it being a tool for the government to divert attention and cover up larger issues? Is it really this bad there or am I just missing something? Honestly I'm horrified finding out about the circumstances of his death, especially that it was Parasite that got me so interested lately about South Korea and its culture.
