No entiendo cómo puede ser. Vi a Michael Jackson morir, a Maradona morir, a Pelé morir, a la reina Isabel morir; vi pasar a tres papas. Sobreviví a una pandemia, vi el comienzo de internet. Vi el CD cambiar a Spotify, vi cambiar el DVD a Netflix, vi pasar del teléfono fijo a un iPhone. Y estoy viendo el surgimiento de la IA. Y solo tengo 30 años.

#KimSooHyun’s return gains momentum after fabricated allegations case turns in his favor; Disney+ says discussions on #KnockOff release remain undecided.
The possibility of Kim Soo-hyun making a comeback is drawing major attention following the police investigation that reportedly cleared him of allegations claiming he dated late actress Kim Sae-ron while she was a minor. With the controversy taking a dramatic turn, focus has now shifted to the fate of Disney+ series Knock Off, which had its release postponed amid the backlash earlier this year.
On May 27, Disney+ maintained a cautious stance regarding the series’ future, stating that no final decision has been made yet. The platform shared that it will continue monitoring both the investigation results and public opinion before deciding the next course of action.
Originally, Knock Off was included in Disney+’s major 2025 lineup and planned for release in two parts, Season 1 and Season 2, before the controversy surrounding Kim Soo-hyun led to indefinite delays.
Kim Soo-hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, also released an official statement expressing gratitude toward investigative authorities. The agency stated that Kim Soo-hyun had promised during a press conference last year that he would prove his innocence, adding that the truth had now been established through a detailed investigation.
Public opinion began shifting after Garo Sero Research Institute representative Kim Se-ui was arrested on May 26 over allegations of spreading false information related to the actor. According to the police investigation, the messenger conversations presented as evidence were reportedly fabricated from unrelated chats, while audio recordings attributed to the late actress were allegedly manipulated using artificial intelligence technology.

SCOOP : National Assembly petition demands cancellation of MBC's #PerfectCrown amid escalating historical distortion controversy.
MBC drama Perfect Crown continues to face explosive backlash in South Korea, with the controversy now reaching the National Assembly after a public petition demanding the cancellation of the series emerged online. The petition, titled “Request for the Suspension of Broadcasting and Removal of Content Due to Historical Distortion and Northeast Project Controversies,” was posted on the National Assembly’s public petition board on May 22 and had already surpassed 14,900 signatures by the afternoon of May 23.
The petitioner accused the drama of heavily borrowing Chinese-style royal attire, etiquette, and terminology while presenting them within a Korean setting, calling it “cultural appropriation” and “historical distortion.” The complaint further argued that the series harms Korea’s cultural identity globally through OTT distribution and provides justification for China’s controversial “Northeast Project” claims.
The controversy intensified following Episode 11’s coronation scene, where Grand Prince Lee An appeared wearing the “Goryu Myeonryugwan” while subjects shouted “Cheonse.” Critics pointed out that both the ceremonial attire and terminology are historically linked to vassal states under imperial China, sparking accusations that the drama distorted Korean royal history.
As criticism mounted, the production team first muted the controversial audio and modified subtitles across reruns, VOD, and OTT platforms before eventually deleting the coronation scene entirely. Lead stars IU and Byun Woo-seok posted handwritten apology letters, while director Park Joon-hwa and writer Yoo Ji-won publicly admitted oversight and apologized for the controversy.
However, public outrage continues to grow. Attention has now shifted toward government-backed funding after reports revealed that the drama received financial support from the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA). Discussions regarding recovery of the funds have also surfaced, with reports stating the production may be required to return the full funding amount along with accrued interest if the project fails its official evaluation review.
Set against the backdrop of a fictional constitutional monarchy, Perfect Crown followed the romance between wealthy heiress Sung Hee-joo and Grand Prince Lee An. Despite massive anticipation before release due to the casting of IU and Byun Woo-seok, the drama remained surrounded by criticism throughout its run over acting debates and repeated accusations of historical inaccuracies.
