As observation, (my view) YGe Agency did *FAIL* here with regard to KANG DONG WON's situation. The Grandfather was 'officially' *placed* on some kind of JAPAN SYMPATHIZERS LIST in Year 2009. Which, once *that* happens, YG Agency *and* KANG DONG WON *should* be thinking to INVESTIGATE *all* of it *very* carefully. With an 'eye towards' having the 'best explanation' (spin?) on it that KANG DONG WON can do it. INSTEAD, apparently, they did NOTHING to investigate it. And now, their 'story' is that they had 'no idea' about it. So, *that* somehow justifies them trying to BURY IT ALL as best they could. Which, clearly, that 'strategy' has 'back fired' on them. However, this is the GRANDFATHER that we are speaking of it here ; and *not* KANG DONG WON. But unfortunately, it all comes across as a *possible* situation where they (YGe and KDW) PLANNED to try to 'cover it up.' Which now, it is *not* even clear to me that YGe and KDW can even *prove* that they 'did NOT know' as they claim it. They *might* have been better off to *pick* a time in the past (remember, this was 'known' somewhat since Year 2009) to DISCLOSE all of this *long ago* with some kind of 'explanation' and 'apology' as best they could do it. INSTEAD, it gets 'SPRUNG' on them ; and they have NO REAL *coordinated* and PROPERLY PLANNED response to it. Other than trying to SILENCE people as best they could do it. It seems a SAD way for this situation to be handled.

Agreed

well not really a double standard, because the dictator is credited with significantly increasing the wealth of korea (by expanding its economy and getting financial incentives through the vietnam war) and building infrastructure

@meiyuncherry <-- (Joking) MONEY *TRUMPS* MORALITY a LOT of the time! ... Who knows, maybe THE DONALD did say that on his USA TV Show ??? ...

there isn't anything good about a dictator that's why we call him a dictator not a pm or president. Besides as history proves his granddaughter did a lot of side illegal works as we see now. But hey if you like to have a government that wasn't elected by democratic procedures help your self and move to a country with a Dictator.

With the USA, Franklin D. Roosevelt was USA President for years 1933-1945 (12 years continuous until death). And look at the BUSH Family, with (4 Years) 'Daddy' and 'Little' (8 Years) being USA Presidents. And 'Daddy's' FATHER = PRESCOTT BUSH being a USA SENATOR. And the *other* BUSH son = JEB running for nomination against TRUMP in 2016. And how about BILL and HILLARY CLINTON coming *very* close to doing the HUSBAND (8 Years), followed by WIFE as USA PRESIDENT for at least 4 years. It is NOT as though the USA is this exactly 'wide open' political game either. Although, I have to admit that OBAMA and TRUMP seem a bit more 'out of nowhere' as USA Presidents.

Kang Dong Won is known to be the great-grandson of Chinilpa- a group of Koreans who were pro-Japanese and collaborated with Japan during the Japanese occupation of Korea. His great-grandfather Lee Jong Man gained immense wealth by supporting the Japanese. It is also alleged that Lee Jong Man financially supported the creation of comfort women. " in few words he was a pro japanese traitor

didn't most of the chaebols/rich people get their wealth from being Japanese supporters??

"That said, there are a bunch of factors that potentially lead to this to being blown out of proportion, many of which Dispatch themselves mention. For starters, his praise for his great-grandfather was said two years prior to said great-grandfather being finalized on the list of pro-Japanese collaborators in 2009 — that can still be seen as an issue depending on whether one believes Kang Dong Won knew or not, but judging by his recent shame about all this, I’m guessing he didn’t — and there is reportedly no such thing as classes of pro-Japanese collaborators. Additionally, because it’s the most modern of issues, being associated through his ancestor with the plight of comfort women was a mover in this even though it turned out that was false. Also, Kang Dong Won didn’t appear to benefit at all from his great-grandfather’s wealth, so the accusations of him getting to where he is today and having the easy life appear unfounded.”

yg HAS to do whatever they can to defend him, THEY KNOW knetz will not let this shit go (understandably) they have experience with scandals and they are doing it the only way they know how, conceal (which btw ANY company would do). Now they have apologized & u cannot EXPECT KDW to say anything more. He will always be judged for his families past and his offspring & so on will forever be attacked for generations to come. THAT is what MaxMovies blog intentionally/unintentionally did. KDW along with other ppl named DO NOT deserve to have their names outed this way. i.e. u expose to everyone someone in ur school is an HIV baby. Its a fact, yes, but you are making THAT person a target of hate/discrimination as we are seeing with KDW. "im sorry i am an HIV baby, i still care about my parents even though they gave me this sickness." i dont think ANY of you will understand it. there are movies and documentaries about current generations who dealt with their nazi/backstabbing/traitor to the nation elders, but in a twisted way there was still love/care. but fuck it, u guys must be so blessed to not have any relatives with bad reputation in your families. bravo. BUT KDW and more do and he didnt realize what he said 10 yrs ago would come back and haunt him THIS way.

I believe many celebrities even for male acknowledge him and call him God KDW. I'm a fan of YG artists and KDW as well but I kinda know from the beginning at least once in his life he would get in trouble after joining YG =='
