  • “How come the daughter of a high-ranking public official dating a literal criminal? And how come the father isn’t stopping her? Do drug charges not mean much in Thailand?”
  • “I’m so confused right now. Why would a successful businesswoman who’s from a well-off family want to see someone like him?”
  • “But from what I remember, his skin wasn’t all that good.”

  • “Yikes… We never really know what’s going to happen, huh?”
  • “Which wealthy family daughter in their right minds would date him, though? I don’t understand women who go for the sh*ttiest pieces of sh*t. Anyway… I wonder if they can communicate at all. I don’t think Park Yoochun would’ve learned Thai for the woman, and I don’t think he’d be good at speaking English?”
  • “Oh, no… He doesn’t look like what he used to at all. His former teammates have taken such great care of themselves. Yet, here he is…”
  • “OMFG. WHY WOULD ANYONE DATE THIS MAN?”
  • “I mean, weed is legal in Thailand. Isn’t it? So…”
  • “But why…? RUN, girl. RUN.”
  • “…???”

Since 2019, Park Yoochun has been the center of multiple controversies; From drug abuse to alleged rape, and the latest dispute with a former management label.
