Tomita Mayu was stabbed around 60 times by a fan, she is now filing a law suit against the police and her agency in their failure to protect her. She filed claims multiple times before the incident occurred. I applaud her bravery in stepping up and speaking about this and forcing people to see that this needs to change.
-YG
Louis Vuitton officially pulled out from YG investors. They will also have to return some money to the company. YG has also been booked on suspicions of prostitution mediation.
I mentioned this before, but it’s been confirmed by more than one agency that JYP is shutting down their acting division. There are a number of idols working as actors in the division that have been doing well, and I’m wondering how this is going to effect things. I especially worry for my 2PM guys.
This is an increasingly common situation where staff is not being paid after a production wraps up and is disgusting and it shouldn’t be tolerated. While it happens to actors as well, the production staff usually takes the brunt of it. Human Arts, the company that is failing to pay, has reportedly done this multiple times.
Trash, trash, trash
Nice article at Forbes talking about Yeo Jin Goo and his successful year.
The director for Train to Busan will be returning as a writer for the drama Method. It sounds like something I would watch, and I’m looking forward to it
Kyoto Animation was set fire by an arsonist who held a grudge against the studio. 33 people died in the attack. Kyoto Animation does a lot of really good work, but they are also known as a top animation studio because of their respect of the staff. Working conditions are better than most, and the studio hires more females than most. It’s a really sad disaster.
Taecyeon visited Chansung in the military and they are just so sweet and adorable.
