하고 이 제 봤는데 이제 미안하게 도 소스에 있었던 여자 연습생 중에는 이제 제가 선발할 수 있는 친구가 민지 밖에 없었던 거예요. 이제 나머지 친구들은 연습이 더 필요하거나 나이가 너무 많거나 이제 저랑 결이 조금 안 맞거나 이제 이런 친구들이 어 가지고 제가 선발을 할 수가 없었고 든든 요. 그래서 이제 민지 만 아 우리가 이제 합작 프로젝트 할 때 이제 이 친구는 그때 되게 어렵고 연습을 더 많이 하면 훨씬 좋아질 수 있겠다. 그리고 민지가 어렸을 때 엄청 예뻤어요. 이거 지금보다 훨씬 더 더 더 예뻤고. 그랬기 때문에 그냥 아 이 친구로는 이제 뭔가 좀 해볼 수 있겠다라는 그런 생각이 있었었고.
And now I've seen it, and I'm sorry to say that among the female trainees who were on Source, the only one I could choose was Minji. Now, the rest of my friends need more practice, are too old, or just don't get along with me, so I couldn't be selected because of these friends. So now Minji, when we do a joint project, it's really difficult for this guy and he can get much better if he practices more. And Minji was very pretty when she was young. This was much prettier than now. Because of that, I just had the thought that I could now try something with this friend.
How do you say this on a press conference… Not only does this come off ped0philic (cause that’s not your kid for you to be saying “she was even prettier as a child”), but it’s also so rude to Minji herself? Imagine hearing someone saying that about you publicly
Nkt to mention the girl is only 19 and getting prettier everyday
I don't think it comes off as pedophilic, simply because pedophilia means attraction to children under 12. MHJ (allegedly) must be an ephebophile, aka attraction to adolescents between 12 and 19. To be honest, I wouldn't say she is. We have never heard of her assaulting a teenager... she just artistically exploits them. She must have an aesthetic preference for youthfulness and likes to glorify it her art. Perhaps she misses her own youth, or perhaps she is cynical enough to know the GP loves the young. She used to be a very powerful producer in the Kpop industry, this alone proves that she is no saint. I agree on what she said about Minji is deranged, though. It makes me want to believe she is a dangerous maniac and she's only moderately good at hiding it.
However, let's not act as though Kpop as an industry is not obsessed with youth and that some girls discussed here aren't barely legal.
... MHJ's case conflicts me. The only reason I wouldn't call her a predator is because one should never confuse the art someone creates/consumes with one's own real life actions. Stephen King writes about gore and murder all the time, yet he has never murdered anyone. Roman Polansky made unambiguous, very artsy films yet assaulted a 13 yo... However, it wouldn't surprise me if MHJ turned out to be a predator.
