YHS/YGEcertainly have problems. But it's also obvious that there has been a selective and coordinated targeting of the company in the media. People should always remember that the big media companies and publications are not altruistic charities managed by unselfish editors and owned by super virtuous people. There is ALWAYS an agenda. Controlling and managing public perception, tastes and emotions through "narratives" is POWER. The people who own and manage such powerful instruments use that power for their own purposes. The idea that their main concern is simply to honestly inform and serve the general public is, unfortunately, childish and immature. Everything reported in the media should be taken with a grain of salt (actually with a ton of salt). Nothing should simply be accepted at face value. Even the big clickbait headlines that many people rely on solely for their news (without bothering to read the actual article) are often contradicted by the article that comes under the headline.

Some facts are probably mixed in with a lot of baloney. Did YHS gamble in Vegas? Seems like that's probably true and supported by evidence and documents. Did he embezzle money and misuse it to gamble with? So far there's no indication that there's any evidence of that, even though the accusation seems to pop up everywhere. It's sad, but we can't really rely on the media to give us an accurate picture of what's really happening in the world.

People should stop listening to these guys! K-Media is about profit, first you give shocking news without any evidence to sell papers, then you twist the facts to sell papers again. Police haven’t said anything new, and continues to interrogate people… a crime against human beings is not a political dispute and shouldn’t become party bicker, doesn’t matter if it’s a leftist or right-wing propaganda, police are the only one who people should trust to find the culprits.


Also find it funny people call police corrupt but trust newspapers with anonymous fonts as credible individuals with pure intentions, working in publicity, that’s beyond comical to me.
