Idk what the opinion of him is in Korea, but all of the comments I see supporting him is coming from international fans.
Just based on the articles I was skimming, the Korean netizens seem to think his career is toast. Well, even toaster than it already was, so I guess it’s burnt toast? It’s sad that drunk driving is more scandalous than assaulting a woman, but it seems like for most netizens it’s the final nail in his celebrity coffin. If he continues to promote and seek success as an artist, it’ll probably have to be internationally elsewhere in Asia or settle for a much smaller fanbase in Korea. KeyEast has apparently decided not to cancel Mud’s fanmeeting at the end of the month, and Naver tells me that it’s sold out (the venue can hold a little over 2000 people), although supposedly they will be reviewing his other activities. Whatever, KeyEast. Like anyone can trust you now.
