Today’s Freaky Friday episode is about the unsolved case of '90s K-pop idol Kim Sung-jae, who was found dead in his hotel room on the same night as his debut solo performance. He was found with 28 injection wounds in his arm and traces of animal sleeping pills in his blood.
At first, his secret girlfriend, Kim Yoo-seon was charged with his MURDER, but after two years she was found not GUILTY and disappeared from the public-eye…
Their relationship was a secret until his tragic death put everything into the spotlight. They had kept things under wraps, which isn’t surprising considering the strict rules against idols dating and the kind of backlash from fans it can bring. Just look at what happened to Karina from aespa. She ended up having to make a public apology when her relationship got revealed.
Kim Sung-jae was the other-half of Deux, alongside Lee Hyun Do. Deux was a popular hip-hop duo from the 90s that helped shape the K-pop world we know today.
Nearly 30 years later, Kim Sung-Jae's tragic death remains unsolved. The SBS documentary series "Unanswered Questions," which delved into the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death, was banned from airing not once, but twice. His girlfriend successfully obtained a court order in South Korea to stop it.
Decades on, Kim Sung-wook, Kim Sung-jae’s brother, is still seeking justice and keeping his brother's legacy alive. Kim Sung-jae meant so much to K-pop fans and to the legacy of K-pop itself. Even major groups like BTS have covered his songs, such as “As I Told You,” paying tribute to him.
Fans haven't given up either, Kim Sung-jae’s sudden and unsolved death remains at the heart of the K-pop fandom. Decades later, his fans are still trying to uncover the truth behind what really happened to their beloved K-pop idol.

It’s crazy how many people are in here in the comments defending Nicki and getting mad at Eleanor for just pointing out what NICKI did oml just because someone’s music is good doesn’t mean they are a good person.
HONESTLY!
Her fans will do the MOST to ignore the truth and try to insult people who are intelligent enough to research into it.
She paid her brother’s bond of $100,000 , she took him bowling when he was out on bail, she said, “I’ll do anything to see my brother smile” , she posted photos with him, she wrote a letter to try to get him a lower sentence.
She then married someone who commit violent crimes again another child when he was 15, it’s DISGUSTING.
I’ve seen people in these comments trying to falsely claim that she was only mentioned because of her race- like no- race does not play into if you actively choose to defend rapists and predators.
Much like Chris Brown; there’s no denying he makes great music and he’s a very talented dancer but how he isn’t behind bars is shocking to me. Everyone knows what he did to Rihanna but he’s got A LOT more recent cases of assault and violence. Nasty piece of work
@@jayerrington1598nicki has always given me bad vibes tbh
THIS
@@jmae3263 when that happened chris was young and so was Rihanna , Rihanna honestly started the fight not saying a man should do that we weren’t in their situation and ppl still talk ab chris brown but so many other ppl tune into blue face and Chrisean or even other artist hitting or abusing their m partner and no one says anything chris brown is a father and his kids are going to have to see that one day he has paid enough with that situation why can’t anyone get over it he was 19 he is 30 now he had time to reflect everything we all did fucked up shit . Nb is perfect.
I appreciate the off topic Nicki Minaj tangent, I had no idea
love eleanor but she is heavily misinformed on a case that is very old and nuanced with pieces of evidence scattered in different corners of the internet. that isn’t something you can talk about definitively in a few sentences 😭
@@SILLYGOOSE908guess YOU never did your research bby bc she DAMN DID 🤣🤣
@@carinap she literally admitted that she didnt. Same with the lives, shes never sniffed, she smokes maryj. She should research the cases though, public is definitely not properly informed. The case with her husband, she was 16 and he was 15, they were dating and her parents made her press charges. That lady's story is as solid as a watery rainbow.
@@briannad7429dating someone doesn't give you the right to rape them at knifepoint. You rape apologists are absolutely vile.
@@Vegan_Vlogs I never said it did? I assume you’re a true crime fanatic, how often does a innocent person change their story? Tell their friends that they lied, etc. Don’t assume you know me or my trauma, I became a victim at 9 years old. Ignoring evidence that someone is potentially lying because you’re too scared to speak up is crazy work. Do research, real research. Or, read the court documents, I did. It’s public.
I’m actually glad that the whole “idol image” is getting less and less severe and people are starting to have to be less perfect and humanized.
I fear is in the whole South Korean society.. and it will took a looong time to change. I often recognize Koreans around my city by HOW refined they look even in the more relaxed situations, they looks really very concerned about the look, which is a positive thing, but I mean, it's really really deep in their culture I guess. About plastic surgery and those things, the statistics are crazy compared to the rest of the world
I think because Kpop has more international fans now. I’ve become Kpopper in 2005 and at that time people were insanely obsessed with their idols love life and don’t want them to date and sometimes they were in their 30s which I always thought was horrible and weird. They deserve to find love and settle at any age, they’re not our boyfriends/girlfriends and we should support them as artists.
yes, but we're also making it worse. beauty standards constantly change and we're making people look like plastic dolls to match it.
@@dalia8858 100%
And then you have fans of groups like... well an example is STAYs (fans of the JYP boy group Stray Kids) who have recently been practically begging SOMEONE to date the leader Chan because HE'S getting so parasocial with fans 💀
But of course I am guessing that the majority of that group are interational fans.. 😅😅
yaaaa i am extremely new to k-pop,, i really appreciate and love seeing idols with unique traits and quirky features that make them seem more human (imperfect teeth mainly)
I laughed so hard at Eleanor taking a break to berate Nicki
🤣 I literally said “enlighten me Eleanor”
Honestly she’s so right too. I want to like Nikki but I just can’t with what we know about her now

As a kpop fans and a true crime fan, I am glad Eleanor's talking about this case, he deserves justice!
I agree
He does. There is no way he died of drug overdose. He couldn’t have even done that to himself if he tried
@@miraclesage8622 Ikr everything went wrong with this case, i can't believe they haven't solved it yet, and idk if we'll ever know sadly
Bro, the girlfriend killed him. She came from a rich family( they more than likely payed off the police and were the ones to get rid of the tapes especially since it took so long for them to consider it a murder giving the family enough time to clean up her mess), the agency was getting in the way of their relationship(completely ignoring the fact she was horrible to him so she was not ok mentally), and was depressed of her constant failing in school. Then with the final blow of failing her exams?! You know her family was more than likely bullying her and looking down on her. That it sent her down a dark hole. She knew she was gonna lose Sung-Jae to his career and her career was falling apart. She took his life and was gonna kill her dog and herself so they could all be together. Why she didn't kill herself? only she knows but I think she just got scared and ran to her family for help.
They also likely payed off the second judge too , considering they're rich well I wouldn't be surprised if he was bribed into giving her a not guilty verdict. Considering it's the 90s we're talking about that kind of shady business and bribery is much easier than it would be today. But 100% agree that she's guilty, I don't see who else in that room would have had a motive to do it. His manager would get paid more with Sungjae alive same for his back up dancers 🤷🏻♀️ there's only one person left in the room.
@@xaiisyourboss01
Exactly! I'd forgotten about the second judge but that right there is the biggest evidence. The first was going to give her the verdict she deserved but then replaced?! Not a coincidence at all. He was a beautiful soul that is missed by his family. RIP Sung-Jae ❤️
Ooo girl she gon get you LOL
I really think you hit the nail on the head here. She really pulled a Courtney Love 2.0 and got away with it cuz she's rich. It's disgusting how people with money get away with horrid things on the regular. I hope she carries the guilt with her for the rest of her life.
I totally agree and where would a random person get a hypodermic needle from in the 90's in such a anti-drug country??, yet a trainee dental nurse probably could have had some and I believe daddy's money is the only reason shes free
15:10 after SHINees Jonghyun died his family made the 'shiny foundation' to help young musicians struggling with their mental health, in honour of him, as he took his own life and was struggling for a long time, so many idols have taken their own lives and its so sad
honestly just hearing abt the industry and how they treat their idols sometimes as well as some crazy fans..it’s sometimes no wonder if idols struggle with their mental health bc sum fans go crazy. I’m still so sad abt Jonghyun
Llo😊😊😊
@@venom9319ñpob
Such an angel ugh
As well as provide scholarships to students studying the arts.
Everyone defending Nicki is crazy…you can like her music idc but she’s a bad person.
Her fans will do and say ANYTHING to try and defend her actions.
I’ve seen people literally claiming that she mentioned it because Nicki is a black woman like wtf.
Race does not play into whether you do or don’t defend rapists and pedos.
@@jayerrington1598 you're obsessed with her holy shit
@@SILLYGOOSE908why would they be obsessed with a pedo lover
TW!NK
It’s so crazy in Korea that crimes involving drugs carry a heavier sentence within their justice system than those involving SA or sometimes even murder.
In the US too depending on the drug and depending on the region.
r*pists get a slap on the wrist there yet god forbid someone smokes a little weed
Please be careful the barbz will leak your address if they find it 😭
It’s not even hard to find someone’s address. As long as you know their first and last name
Why be afraid? It's our constitutional right to speak our peace. If they are so good, why is this case still unsolved, I've always thought it was his controlling girlfriend, myself.
@@pamelaechevarria8080 OP is talking about Nicki fans not the K-pop fans
You know addresses are public record right
they probably already have 😭😭🙏
As a K-Pop fan I’m so disgusted and disappointed in some of our fans..
Sameeee, it’s so sad. I feel like they forget they’re human. It’s so sad. They want to love freely. The parasocial relationship is disgusting.
she’s also a kpop stan
@@boobburger I know :)
@@AivyLynnvDxxsorry LOL😭
True....I have seen some atrocities its scares me too
coroner: “yeah he’s definitely dead for sure”
bruh
Right? “so he’s definitely dead from dying. That’s all we know k bye” I would be mad
Unrelated but FINALY someone is calling Nikki Minaj out ! Been waiting for this day
Calling her for what?? What has her sick brother got to do with her? She herself has cut him off completely. Y'all should know the truth before being judgmental
@@luvlytoyinhow about her husband?
@@luvlytoyin she gave a lap dance to a 13 year old… her hands ain’t clean 🤡
@@sarikaschmidt7324 Her husband is not a rapist neither a pedo. He was a 15 year old boy dating a 16 year old girl from white family and they were cut doing things in the act when she was supposed to be in school. He was asked to plead guilty for attempted rape because he was a black boy in 1994 from nyc and don’t have 7k for a lawyer back then. Of course he was sent to jail for 4 years and he served sentenced and nothing like that ever happened again, since 1994 till now. She can just do her research well, before giving misinformation to her viewers. That’s so not cool.
@@luvlytoyin but what about the song in which nicki herself talks about grooming a minor... uhm
I'm 70 years and love your stories! Can you cover the murder of Daimbag Darryl
Pantera or the murder of John Lennon?
Dimebag is so sad 😢
Dime bag died in a nightclub fire when I was growing up right near me because it was not properly constructed and equipped for pyrotechnics and blatantly ignored fire safety laws. It was f
Definitely criminal negligent and the nightclub owner and the stage personnel that OKed this are definitely criminally responsible and belong in prison but it wasn't murder. What makes you think it was? I remember that club..
@@SSheezCraftyDimebag was shot on stage by a guy called Nathan Gale who was then shot by the police. There was no fire that night. Where are you getting this?
I believe she already covered John Lennon 🤔
@SSheezCrafty i know what case you mean, was it called the station or something? That tiny nightclub that caught fire. That's completely different to dimebag tho.
Calling out Nicki 👏👏👏👏
finding out you’re a kpop fan just made my whole day. but also, unfortunately so many kpop fans are horrible. it’s so sad.
Like same here. When she said that she listened to kpop, it made my heart skipped a beat. But, it's just terrible on what kpop fans can do.
same i love twice, aespa, red velvet, and stray kids. the stuff they’ve all been through pre debut and now is so sad
As a kpop fan and true crime fan,I clicked so fast and I do believe his ex gf....the one who used the Traqualiser injection, yep, she did it 100000% I am.sure she did...THANK U FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS CASE . Not just sungjea fans base all 1st to 4th generation fans we believe his life was taken away and bse of this its how actually a dating ban was further imposed on idols....thank u for bringing this to light....sasengs are dangerous but girl friend who turns into one ,it's deadly.
Same, i really believe she's guilty
same honestly
I think she is guilty too, why would she be trying so hard to stop people talking about it or shows coming out about it speaks to me like she's guilty
I have heard this case sooo many times by now, and it is honestly heartbreaking for such a young man to pass in such a horrible way. He had a bright future ahead of him, but unfortunately, humans are ruthless and sometimes I'm ashamed of being part of this fandom. Rest in peace Sungjae 🫶
Rest in peace sungjae 😢
The stance in tattoos is a lot better now in Korea. Hell, one of the biggest artists right now - Jungkook has a whole damn sleeve. Multiple artists have them. It used to be more like in Japan (where there's still an issue with it and you might not be allowed to many public spaces if you have visible tattoos), but it's definitely better now, with artists showing off their tattoos.
Bailey Sarian did a video on Japan or China and tattoos. She said they made her get out of some spa pool because of her tattoos.
as a seasoned kpop fan of almost 10 years, I can't believe that I've never heard of this before... thank you for educating all of us on his case
She is so frickin guilty and once again these so called justice systems screw up! Omg I hate this world sometimes! 😡
as a korean, there is genuinely no korean who doesn’t know about this case
as someone who took a college course in south korea on the history and impact of kpop in national and international levels, i just want to say this is incredibly well researched eleanor! well done!
You’ve hit the nail on the head when it comes to the severity of the K-Pop industry. I would be interested to see you do a whole video about that in the future.
should be a Dark History for Bailey
The barbs (nicki’s fans) are crazy and have doxxed content creators for saying less than you did.
33:48 the Nicki shade 😂 GET HER AGAIN ELEANOR
Crazy how no one points it out …
get her again nothing , it was not a drag. when the barbz dox her then y’all gonna cry and play victim.
Doja does coke, all celebs do coke… Meg the stallion is an alcoholic , no one gaf
@@Orororomneyso Eleanor speaking out on Nicki and her disgusting behavior with being associated with so many s3x offenders is wrong, but Nicki isn’t?
@Orororomney if the barbz do dox her, then yes, that would make her a victim of an irrational set of fans who seem to do idiotic and dangerous things for a woman who has no idea who the hell they even are, much less gives a shit about them.
His exhaustion from a long night of performing would have also made him more susceptible to dying from a lower dose. For me it's obvious the girlfriend did something to Sung Jae simply from the fact that even as recently as 2019 she's still trying to stop people investigating and talking about it in SK. Shady B needs to go away for something even if it will likely never be this.
FINALLY ELEANOR I’VE BEEN WAITING
Me tooooo😭😂😂😭😭😭
FR SHE IS ALSO A KPOP STAN SHE SAW TWICE AND ITZY 😭
drugs are not just unapproved of in the kpop music scene... but the entire country. They have much tighter laws concerning drug use and gambling for their citizens. So yeah, drugs are a big no-no.
@@lindashaw3796it can be a bad thing when it comes to people who take drugs bc they’re struggling. there’s no empathy for them in korea
@@gjm0613 You are absolutely correct 🙏🏻
Yeah, it's so weird because gambling is illegal, but they still have casinos in tourist areas that only foreigners can use. You have to prove that you aren't a South Korean citizen to go in there.

rapists get a slap on the wrist there but god forbid someone in an already suicidal country smokes a little weed
An episode on nicki minaj? Ellie you know they gon come for you 😭
😂😂 no fr
Someone had to say something though, surely.
Not many people know or believe about the stuff she has done and the people she openly chooses to hang around with.
Imagine not only defending a rapist but trying to help clear his name/ pay for his bail. 🤷🏼♀️🙏🏻
they’ll only come for her because she’s literally wrong 😭
@@SILLYGOOSE908 She literally defended him for THE LONGEST TIME.
Just because she’s distanced herself NOW doesn’t mean she didn’t do her absolute hardest trying to let him off easy for his crimes- including paying for his bail.
It may, MAY, have been excused slightly considering you wouldn’t want to believe your brother was capable of that…. BUT THEN SHE MARRIED ONE TOO!
She LOVES rapists and pedos.
You cannot deny that, all you have to do is research.
@@jayerrington1598you sound weird af. He’s her brother. That has nothing to do with her and her husband isn’t a pedo. The so called victim even came out about this shi

why would you need a deep dive of a woman who’s name you can’t even spell correctly 😭
Regarding the sponsor: I don’t think I’ve ever even *considered* “moisturizing my pits” let alone actually done it 😂
I love you so much. Thank you for speaking the truth about Nicki! I still don’t get how she can still have support from people.
theres literally no proof of nicki doing drugs except weed. if anything she should delete this before she gets sued for defamation
BECAUSE NICKI MINAJ HERSELF, didnt do anything. Her husband was 15 and the “victim” who was also his girlfriend was 16. The victim herself tried to recant her statement and this on video of her admitting that. LOOK IT UP.
Secondly her brother’s actions have nothing to do with her. Some of the biggest artist that you all love have r word brothers and family who are murderers so dont pick and choose.
@@youtubestar7399but she defended her brother 😃 even after evidence was shown that he was guilty-
@@happilymena3256 NO TF SHE DIDNT. You are spreading misinformation. POST THE EXACT CREDIBLE SOURCE Youuuuuu got that information from!Waiting
@@youtubestar7399 Damn, some of y’all are wilding out about people who literally have no idea you exist.

Thank you for covering this case I had no idea. So sad truly. Also Nicki Minaj -- please I would love an episode on her heinous actions and defending of

Would you ever consider covering the murder of Selena Quintanilla? She was another young singer who died in the 90s and was killed before her time.
It’s one of the saddest cases…she was so beautiful and talented inside out 😢
Couple things….how do you purchase “under a lethal dose” of a medicine that’s lethal to a human? If she used it on a human, ALL DOSES are lethal. As for the American dancers, if they were there on a working Visa, you have to leave the country when your Visa is up. If the cops didn’t ask to detain them, they have to leave or get detained for real. As for the murderer, I just see bribery all over this. Her family threw money everywhere they could, then she probably changed her name legally,
i agree that she's super suspicious, especially buying that medication, and i do think she's most likely guilty, but there can definitely be nonlethal doses of lethal medications. like heroin is lethal at a certain dose, but nonlethal at a low enough dose. almost everything can be lethal at a high enough dose, even water, but especially with prescription medications the doses have a very fine line between safe and unsafe doses, and that line is at different places for different people, but there's always a general line that's drawn where it becomes unsafe for most people. that specific medication is dangerous for humans even at low doses, but there's still low enough doses that humans would be unlikely to die from it
delving back into my kpop stan roots today i see
sponsor ends: 5:55
Life saver
as an older kpop fan im so happy to see the lack of “stan” in the comments 🥲🥲🥲 the increase in kpop stans today makes my bones quiver with fear…
I hate to agree, but I do. I support the new generation of kpop fans, and it’s great to see so many happy people enjoying the music, but the real stans are exhausting!
I first heard about this case in 2012 when Taemin and Key from SHINee played Deux (btw I was under the impression that the way they pronounced it sounded more like ‘juice’ but I may be misremembering) in a dramatisation of the duo’s story for a documentary kind of thing. Taemin played SungJae and there was this scene where HyunDo is dreaming about SungJae after his death and he says “나 먼저 갈게“ which basically means something like “I’ll go on ahead” and then disappears which had me tearing up in my dorm room. The whole thing up to the tragedy was actually quite fun and lighthearted with HyunDo and other people reminiscing about how they met and trained and went to Moon Night, and they kept embellishing it with these not-so-subtle nods to SHINee songs (like when SungJae talked about how he had considered going into dentistry before, HyunDo (Key) is like “hey, ‘Shiny’ would be a great name for a dental practice!” 😂
Really love getting more of a deep dive into SungJae’s murder, the second they described those injection marks in the documentary, before they even got to the end of the sentence I was like “yeah, this was definitely murder!”
Omg. Taemin and Key are my favourites. Now I gotta try to find this. 🥺 Thanks for sharing.
Eleanor... I've been a huge fan and watched every video for years & years... just had to finally comment and tell you that you're one of my all time favorite humans! You always make me laugh and the voice you give to victims is simply unmatched, my friend. Your videos have seen me through losing my husband to Covid to battling blood disease and I just can't thank you enough for all that you do in the name of justice and love. Blessings always, Colleen. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🩷
omg! i've been subscribed for years and its so cool to see a korean case let alone one of kim sungjae!?!?!? thank you Eleanor!
and we pronounce Deux like dew-s in korea lol
and saseng is pronounced sah-saeng! (usually we say sa seng fan, sa means death seng means life so it means fan who lives and dies for the artist) ;)
Thanks for the info, always nice to learn 😊
American here, thank you for calling nikki out. Shes awful. And i really think his gf killed him. Such bs that an already rich psycho made millions off people telling the truth about her.
My ex dies under similar suspicious circumstances. In the autopsy, it was discoveredhe had needle puncture on his stomach and chest and lots of morphine in his system. The person he was staying with is diabetic and had plenty needles at hand, yet was never looked into. The car he was driving that day was never found and instead he was found in his suv.
i constantly think about this case. i still can't wrap my head around how the video of him on SBS performing "As I Told You" was one of the last videos/appearances of him before he was found dead. i've been a kpop fan since 2011 and its heartwarming to see his song continue to be covered by recent kpop groups.
kpop fans have a ton of issues with being parasocial and being too nosy and "involved" in their favs' personal lives. its incredibly disgusting and its only gotten worse over the years!! the fan culture now is so incredibly toxic and way too overwhelming with people who don't know how to be a decent human being and don't know how to respect anyone.
to the case: the girlfriend got off way too easily. its infuriating that she got no punishment for what she did and imo, she's obviously guilty. she filed a ton of injunctions to prevent an episode airing about his death. if she was innocent, then she wouldn't be putting all that energy into preventing an episode from releasing.
ive been waiting for you to cover this case !!! thank you eleanor 🩵
this is not related to the case itself but i have been watching you ever since you started and watching you come out of your shell add your own little references and just overall be more comfortable absolutely warms my heart never stop eleanor ❤
Your videos are amazing, I love the dedication you have to share these stories with us
Can I just say, the quality and the background this video look amazing!! You’re looking amazing!! ❤
I believe she euthanized her boyfriend. She left the hotel. I believe she was sure he was dead , then she left.
Obsessed with a film length video. I know nothing about kpop but this is such a sad but interesting case. You abd your team work so hard for these videos.
OMG YESS IVE BEEN WAITINGGG
I have never clicked so fast onto a video as a kpop stan. Thank you so much for adding coverage to this case 💖
Thank you so much for covering this! This dark part of k-pop should be discussed more and it isn’t. Thank you for humanizing our faves and their lives!!!
Yes,but how she is clearly,completely unconcerned about his death in general. Like,call me crazy but if my bf,or any loved one in fact,died in a suspicious way,I would be doing anything in my power to find out what really happened so her behavior is very telling in my opinion.
I really needed a Eleanor vid today. Thank you Elly
FINALLY SHE UPLOAD IM SO EXITED 😩rushing to the shop before it closes to get snacks just for this 🤣
Story time: There was a “Korean culture club” in my high school. It was more of a K-Pop fan club and I think only one member of the club was actually Korean at all. One girl I was in class with who was Korean told me that she used to go to it for maybe a few days expecting more of Korean culture than just K-Pop, but one day they asked her if they thought a specific band member was cute (I don’t remember who) like “ugh look at him isn’t he so cute?” and she said “sure, yeah he’s good looking.” The same girl who asked got pissed and started saying things like “that’s my husband you can’t have him!!” even though she asked her in the first place!!?? After that the girl and other members of the club kept berating her the rest of the meeting. The environment got very toxic very quickly and she never went back. She was disappointed, to say the least.
This video was great tysm for talking about this😭
Yay!! Eleanor's back! I missed your uploads!! ❤
ELENOR CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BURING SUN SCANDAL? ( also who is your twice bais )
thank you for covering this !!
not me at the end of the video being like “girl be careful she might get you to court bc of this vid”
Whenever I hear some karen with kids talking about pot being a gateway to other drugs I just want to respond with " ah so what's all that emotional childhood trauma you doing to your kid huh? Seems like a real gateway to drugs"
favorite channel right now
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS CASE
eleanor, ive only started watching you about 2 months ago and im proud to admit that ive watched probably 50+ videos i love true crime and horror type stories. the way you narrate the victims lives and lifestyles is just golden. i sometime binge your videos for hours and hours on end while i play video games like minecraft or black ops games. i appreciate every single video you come out with❤😂
Just a sad case love ur uploads Eleanor 😢❤❤
35:20 I'm currently in Seoul and have been for a while and I have to say that the acceptance of tattoos is thankfully getting much better! It's mostly older people that look down on it but you see so many people nowadays with tattoos!
IM SO HAPPY RN. the fact that you are a kpopie makes my whole life. bc i love watching you and i love kpop so it just makes me happy. But other than that the case is crazy. he was so young and so talented. i can only image how much he would have changed the kpop world if he was still here today.
I hate people who hate on jeongyeon she’s my bias 💔 she gained weight bc she was going through a mental state bc one of her family members died. I just feel really bad for her it’s not her fault and so what wth she deserves sm better
my mum was telling me about this as she was in korea at the time, it hit her hard as she loved him!! rip 💛💛
I think it's an interesting conversation to be had how some K-pop fans glorify South Korea and ignore/romanticise its many, MANY, social and societal issues, to the point of becoming some of the strongest, loudest upholders of them.
The parasocial relationship that is fully encouraged by many record labels is a discussion that *must* be had - but so is the sub-topic of fans sexualising and infantilising idols at their leisure, as well.
The sexual harassment of idols is so normalised within the industry; zoom-ins on male idols' "bulges" is incredibly common, and these are the same fans that will make edits with cutesy songs and baby noises the very next day... Let's not ignore how K-pop boy bands make up some of the biggest tags on sites like Ao3, featuring some of the most explicit k!nks and fantasies out there.
At the same time, fans, mostly international ones that have nothing to do with Korean traditions and norms, will be some of the loudest critics when female idols are "too sexual".
The K-pop industry is not at all the bright bubbly, or the passionate suggestive, space that it likes to portray itself as, but a cesspool of abuse and imbalanced power dynamics. The majority of idols and fans get pulled into the cross fire.
You worded this perfectly

Baby reindeer should be a deep dive
I think that is going to blow up soon cause of Fiona claiming to sue meaning there will have to be an investigation into it so loads will come out of the woodwork
Always happy to see you pop up on Friday!! I feel like the coincidence of her obtaining the exact same drugs that killed him was just too much. It's not something that's just floating around. I think they got it wrong the second time around. Such a sad end to a bright light.
Love this series. I love having something to look forward to on Fridays. Keep up the good work, Eleanor and team :)!

Still missing sung jae❤❤😢
I'm at the part where you mention the Beatles song, "Lucy In The Sky" (with diamonds). You mention that it's famously about the drug LSD. Well, most people think that to be true, I used to as well. It's actually about a picture John Lennon's son Julian drew about a girl in his school class. When asked who was in the picture, Julian said it was Lucy, with eyes like diamonds. So that's where the song actually originated from. I like trivia, lol, especially music trivia. Love your videos!
So he says. I don't think they could admit Litswd was about LSD back then.
@@8luvbug Paul McCartney was the one who said it was from a drawing. He was around for Julian much more than Lennon back then. Julian drew the picture for Paul as well, I think. But I totally see your point as well.
ohhh this one was sooo good❤ well doneee!!
I got so happy when I finally saw Eleanor on my feed! 🎉
Just bought my Wild starter pack & 2 scent refills :) I LOVE when influencers use sustainable sponsors. I have been going to my local refill store but these were even cheaper!
Unsure if youre in the UK but you can actually get the refills in boots!
Yes do a Nicki Video! I hate that so much, I totally stopped listening to and supporting her after I found out what type of person she is. Aweful!
