Chit-chat about how celebrities pay off billions in debt

Some people say they went out of business. Someone else got scammed and lost. All of them are celebrities. Celebrities have their own circumstances and have tried their best to get out of the worst situation, but many of them have given up because things don't go their way. However, recently, there have been many stories of celebrities who have not filed for personal bankruptcy and are paying off their debts as best they can through broadcasting or other means.

It's been said that "the stupidest thing is worrying about celebrities. Of course, whether they owe billions or tens of billions is their private life and their problem. But their stories of failure and their struggles to get back on their feet are being talked about in public, something that was very private, at least until just a couple of years ago. In short, it's uncomfortable (for the average person), and even more uncomfortable are articles about how some celebrities have bought shops and houses in Gangnam or Itaewon for billions of won. I don't know if I should be envious, jealous, or angry...


I don't have anything against celebrities. It's just that I'm uncomfortable with the way they blatantly wet their paddles when they "get wet." Everyone's debt story is different. Some have a billion, some have many times that, and they make it sound like a sad story. But if they weren't celebrities, would it even be an issue? The system is clear. Interest creates issues, and those issues lead to broadcast appearances, and frequent broadcast appearances lead to money. Isn't 10 billion more dramatic than 1 billion, and can you imagine the dramatic effect of the skyrocketing appearance fees from frequent appearances accelerating the rate at which they go into debt?

 
In 2008, Current Affairs Magazine and in 2012, the program "Oh My God" aired a story about an uncle who was paying off his 1 billion debt with 10 part-time jobs. Every day, from 3:30 a.m., he delivered newspapers, rice cakes, lunch boxes, drove a school car, collected waste, and cleaned bathhouses....with only one or two hours of rest a day. It was a murderous schedule that left the viewer breathless, and he died of colon cancer not long after he was debt-free. If we're being objective... his case is more extreme than some of the recent celebrity cases. The difference is the difference between sadness and discomfort.  


We don't need to list the incredible amount of debt that celebrities have and the amount of money they get paid for appearances to make you feel even more uncomfortable. There are a lot of rich people in the world, and there are a lot of people who get rich quick. In all such cases, complaining about unnecessary envy and jealousy is just a pitiful self-consumption. If you think about it simply, celebrities are not the only ones who succeed by creating issues in this country. Public attention is money. It even gives them power.

 That's a long way to summarize it. To be honest, I'm very envious of them, but I don't think they got a free ride on the debt bullet train just because they're celebrities. Rather, it's the celebrities who take out huge loans to buy buildings and expensive houses all over Seoul. There is only one thing in common between some celebrities who are racing from negative to zero and some who are making bold bets to jump from positive to high. 'Even grasshoppers have a season,' but... they've gotten too caught up in it. Without a dozen or so male entertainers, Korean entertainment would probably disappear.
