truth posted this in the Scarlet Heart: Ryeo thread but I thought the subject is so important that it deserved its own thread. So I moved the post here, and gave it a title. Thanks truth for bringing this to our attention. It's terribly sad for everybody involved...but unfortunately it's not all that surprising, considering what's been revealed about the entertainment business here in the USA lately. Jo's death even turned into a story on the UK's Guardian newspaper website: www.theguardian.com/film/2018/mar/09/jo-min-ki-south-koreaHe had been teaching drama at a university and apparently was preying on some of the students. Jo Jaehyon also was teaching drama at a university: www.soompi.com/2018/02/25/jo-jae-hyun-resigns-professorship-admission-sexual-harassment/...and he's been removed from there. It's not clear from the story if the accusations against him came from the university or from his acting work, or (more likely) both. At least it's good that these things are coming to light now--better late than never--and you hope something positive will come out of all of this ugliness.
