I noticed over the past couple days that K-Pop has been in the news and not for good reasons.  Of course salaciousness sells so I am not surprised that these articles are getting a lot of recognition. However, this does say plenty about the pressures placed on both men and women in this industry.

Two high profile K-pop stars found guilty of sexually assaulting women incapable of resisting: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/ny-two-kpop-guilty-sexually-assaulting-women-incapable-resisting-20191129-vwjhlk7jkza6vh35xo3ybqq7fa-story.html

I found it interesting especially with how closely this information was released in proximity to our conversations on this forum.
