Comment:
From my point of view as a taiwanese, i feel it ridiculous to have people not working in the government meddling with the states affair. However, Korea lies on big companies is a undeniable truth. The companies are so big that they can't shut down. And this gives the companies a big chance to manipulate the states affair, what's more, the CEO was the friend of the president.
The condition of the media in Korea is highly controlled by the government, therefore, the scandals are easily covered by the media.
Korea's government has for years used K-pop artist to promote the tourism of the nation. The scandal of Cha Eun Taek must have been a big bomb in the entertainment industry, and i think more big entertaiment companies are involved in this.
