Kpop Discussion: Is Korean Government Conspiring With Social Media To Quiet Deeper Scandals With Petty Scandals Involving Idols?

As most of you might have already known, on June of this year, there was a massive scandal that was unveiled; Se7en and Sangchu were caught on their way to a massage palor, and yes ladies and gents we are talking about the ones with a happy ending.

After such an outbreak, and in South Korea media no less, the flames fuming from this controversy are still burning bright. Now, the concern at hand here is: is the government involved in making sure that these celebrity soldiers are taken care of?

Another pressing matter to be addressed; is the government involved at all? With very little knowledge of how the system works in Korea, I can only go into this with what I have read through forums and such regarding the relationship between the government and Korean Media.

According to certain comments posted online, the blame is being split in many ways so the controversy of a possible conspiracy could land on the heads of any of them. There is a bullet reserved for YG, and one for the government. General consensus is that the Korean government has a sector that specializes in documentation of "scandalous" celebrity articles which can be used to stray the attention away from more government/social related media. It's basically the government spreading a collected article of rumors to cover up the truth or at least confuse people enough to no longer pay attention.

With this kind of contrived tactic, it would make you wonder why the government would go at such great lengths to keep soldier celebrities from being in the limelight for too long. Well, the celebrity soldiers are obviously under the government's wing and that could shed some light to the connection.

The Korean government is a complicated, massive web, and if there are people who are working on this strategic plan, then chances are there are one or two who are more closely related to the soldier celebrities. The reason why YG is being placed on the chopping block is simply for the same reasons, but to dig up other rumors for the sake of hiding a new one is supposedly a little too damaging for their name.

What do you guys think?
