The scandals of Park Hae Jin, ranging from silly mishaps to being linked in a whole political conspiracy: A thread.
Before we start, this was a request ( @binayoungs) so like I said do dm me if you have any requests. Secondly, I know this man has a lot of fans so let me clarify that this is strictly for entertainment purposes, no Iâm not trying to end your oppas career this is just for fun 
Like the title of this thread states, lets start with the minor slip ups before we get into the whole political conspiracy thing. This will escalate fast so hold on to your hats 
Firstly, on happy together he mentioned that he was a close friend of Shin Bong Sun, so the MCs asked him if she was prettier now or before to which he replied âHow could you ask that? She didn't look like this back then. Her jaw area was wider and stuck out more back thenâ.
On the same episode, he stated that he liked to look after his woman (i.e. his gf). The MCs asked how he would look after the girls in the room and he said that Shin Bong Sun needed a diet, Park Mi Sun needed some botox and his co star needed (skin) whitening products. Well...
Kind of mean, but maybe he was playing up for the cameras, right? Lets keep going & see. On family outing, when playing a game with Seo In Young he called her a gold digger. In a separate interview, he randomly told the lady to loose weight when she asked him to introduce himself
Outside of variety shows, he said his reason for liking JJH was âWhen I look at her, my eyes feel comfortable... a lot of actresses get stuff done to their faces...it's refreshing to see someone as natural...(itâs like) climbing up a mountain in the middle of Seoulâ
That quote is a lot longer, I shortened it down. But I donât understand why he had to say all of that? Like yes Jun Ji Hyun is GORGEOUS but why put down people who have had surgery?? If you havenât noticed already this guy is OBSESSED with looks and kind of misogynistic.
(1/2) Here is where it starts to get gross. PHJ sat down in another variety show and discussed the time he visited a transgender bar (is that a thing?). He stated âThe madame of the pub sat next to me and I could see 280 mm of hardened skin on her hands and some stocky feet.-
(2/2) -They also work late so at night you can see their 5 o clock shadows start to appear around their mouths.â So heâs transphobic. Oh, and instead of calling him out, the rest of the panel laughed. Also who tf thought it would be ok to broadcast this?
He also stated in an interview that he would kill a man if he ever confessed his love to him. He also stated âItâs terrible to even touch skin with a guyâ. Girl... the homophobia jumped out!
In the same interview he said that he never understood otaku (weebo) culture and thought they were out of their minds... sjslfjskds he might have done something there!! Any way thats all the petty things out of the way now lets get into the whole political scandal thing.
Firstly, take a look at these pictures. PHJ is in the green shirt and the guy in the white shirt is a man called Go Young Tae (GYT). Weâll get to him in a bit but keep his name in the back of your head.
This picture is problematic for two reasons. One of the reasons is that it is a predebut picture of PHJ allegedly taken in a host bar. When researching for this thread one thing that kept on popping up is that PHJ used to work in a host bar before he started acting.
A host bar, is a place where men serve drinks to (mainly) middle aged women and provide them with entertainment. A lot of the time that entertainment includes providing customers with sexual favours. Netizens used that pic as proof that he worked there. His agency denied this.
Ok now here is where Go Young Tae comes in. If any of you were invested enough in K entertainment 2 years ago then the name Choi Soon Sil may ring a bell. She was the lady who was the âpuppet masterâ for Park Geun Hye, the president of SK.
I will not go into it much further than that because of time and word restraints but if you want to refresh your memory or youâve never heard of this scandal then here is a very good article which goes into detail about everything: http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-irrational-downfall-of-park-geun-hye.html?m=1
So Go Young Tae & Choi Soon Sil were close (allegedly lovers). GYT was the whistle blower who tipped off the media about Choi Soon Sil and how she had huge role in all the decisions Park Geun Hye made. One of his co-workers exposed him, stating that he had a past as a male host.
This leads us back to Park Hae Jin and that picture. Now netizens knew that GYT was a male host worker it basically confirmed PHJ was too. But this connection between the two left more questions: what is the relationship between the two, & why were they close enough to take pics?
Netizens speculate that a special âsomeoneâ gave these men those belts. They are gucci btw. So expensive belt + working in a host bar... fill in the blanks yourselves
(1/2) PHJ also did not serve in the military. The source I found initially said it was due to anxiety. However in 2010 a blind item came out saying a famous actor evaded service and faked having schizophrenia (
) the police investigated and found it was PHJ,
) the police investigated and found it was PHJ,
(2/2) however since this occurred in 2004 the statue of limitations passed. His agency retorted and said he could not serve because of his depression. (Side note, this really pissed me off, why fake schizophrenia out of all things? 
)
)
Apparently faking mental illnesses is a popular method to evade service amongst male bar hosts. I also read a rumour that he stopped being a male host bc a rich lady bought him a clothing store and from there he was able to become an actor.
Well thats the thread! I know it was a lot to swallow but I hope it all made sense lol. If you enjoyed it, please retweet! Which one of his scandals shocked you the most?
Will you continue being his fan?
