Speaking about scandal from this ousted SK president, one of the biggest castrophes in recent history happened under her, when a sinking ship killed hundreds of people, most of the high school students. Most people who survived were students who didn't listen to the crew members. The crew members left the passengers in the cabin and left before the ship sank.
HQC @ a few dollars a dose and effective, or Remdesivir @ $2600 for a 5-day course, which is exceedingly destructive to the kidneys, and possibly hastens death more than prevents it? Well, see, a lot of people have to die to justify the gene treatments, right? Might as well make a shit-ton of money too. Literally trillions of dollars in mRNA gene treatments await. Which would be in keeping with the policies of all the "free" countries, policies that are deadlier than the virus.
If they can get way with making money killing people, sex-cults practicing pedophilia should be no surprise.
I don't think it is fair to credit anything Park Geun-hye did for the rise of K-Pop. K-pop goes back much farther and owes a lot of its popularity to the 'Hallyu' [Korean wave] era popularity of Korean dramas like Winter Sonata (2002).
Of course, Korean cultural exports have been sponsored by government programs, for instance there was a longstanding requirement to show a certain percentage of domestic movies in Korean movie theaters that acted as a government subsidy to domestic movie production. In that sense, it is fair to say that the government supported K-Pop just like they got umpteen Korean historical sites and concepts entered as UNESCO heritage sites or how the wikipedia pages for Korean cultural topics are often surprisingly detailed and well written in English. But that is all generic Korean culture promotion and not specific to any single president.
On the other hand, Park Geun-hye supposedly kept a blacklist of people who were NOT to receive government arts subsidies.
So the plan is: go home and ride it out with no early treatment? Sounds like the US. Do Koreans get to go to ER when pulse ox tanks? Or are they told to tough that out too?
Now I had time to look at the links for pedo in K-pop.
First one is IU. IU wrote a song with lyrics that mention a character from some literature who is a young boy (iirc 9yo). The lyrics come across as sexual-- i.e. she asks Zeze to climb up her tree, etc. Not a great idea. She apologized and said she shouldn't have done it. The song is pretty good though aside from the poorly chosen reference:
The second is EXO member. Not sure what he was accused of since it isn't in the article, but boy band members probably have underage girls throwing themselves on them. Have you ever read about the Beatles or other bands of that era? Its pretty gross but its not some sort of organized pedo ring.
Third is some Korean feminist accusing K-pop of being misogynist. Probably happens on every day ending in y.
If you want to find K-pop scandals, the more likely place is low-tier production companies. They probably treat the trainees and girls pretty bad. The problem is that they are forced to sign contracts indebting them for their training period almost like indentured servants. That prevents members or ex-members from speaking openly about what happens since they could be suddenly thrown into debt by breach of contract, which means there is a dearth of evidence. More often members just leave suddenly. There isn't a union or any other organized group to help entertainers push back against exploitive contracts unfortunately and there definitely should be. I imagine that the production companies bosses entertain politicians and prosecutors as some seemingly credible allegations tend to go nowhere. There were some accusations involving high ranking officials around the time of the Seungri scandal that got dismissed for lack of evidence despite there being grainy video but it was an adult woman involved.
the NPR article you cite as evidence that K-Pop was "engineered by South Korean intelligence as a controlled cultural export" shows how the Ministry of Culture cultivated it. Do you have better evidence (or, at least, evidence that the MiniCult follows orders/is directed by the KCIA)?
Great posting. Thanks. If you care about nits, I had to reread this sentence 3 or 4 times before I made sense of it, "after her mother was assassinated by feeding her a story"
All we ever needed to do was listen to the doctors who were successful treating covid: Drs. Zelenko, Fareed, Tyson, and several others.
HCQ (with zinc) works. Period. It always has.
Dr. Tyson says Ivermectin also works, and I believe him. It has been “divide and conquer” since day 1. As soon as HCQ was successfully demonized, the bad guys went after IVM and prevented Ivermectin from being prescribed too.
To the honest and smart skeptics of HCQ and IVM (like Alex Berenson and Luigi Warren), I ask: if someone were designing (and testing) a virus as a bioweapon, wouldn’t they also want to make it treatable by a safe and effective antidote?

Who is responsible for the halt in early treatment ? South Korea will start jabbing 5-11 end of this month.

Matthew, are you all looking into the DOD database? I saw this story. https://www.theepochtimes.com/data-reveal-disturbing-trend-from-covid-jab_4348749.html Jack Gleason. Feel free to contact me directly by email on some other issues.

It's Park Geun-hye.
“you stupid Westerner”
South Korea is fascinating. I used to teach many international college students from there.
Great piece, thank you.

I think this vaccine ERASES immunity to the spike protein which is why it wears off so quick. That's how it works here anyway:
