The new scandal involving singers Se7en and Mighty Mouth's Sangchu has netizens wondering. After learning about the celebrity recruits' visit to an adult massage parlor while they were supposed to be on military duty, some netizens wondered how it will affect the singers' future service and the general treatment of celebrity recruits. But some netizens also expressed concern that the scandal might negatively affect Se7en's relationship with actress Park Han Byul.
Se7en, whose real name is Choi Dong Wook has dated Park for 11 years, ever since they were high school sweethearts. Four years ago they admitted publicly that they were in a relationship. That made things easier for them as a couple.
"Everything became a lot more comfortable," said Park. "I'm not good at lying so I was scared that people would ask when I went on interviews or talk shows. Now I'm more confident and at ease since I have nothing to hide."
A few months ago the actress was interviewed for her film, "My Black Mini Dress," and asked about her relationship with the singer. She said Se7en encouraged her to try out for the film role, as the party girl Hye Ji was so different from her previous roles. And at the final filming, he bought pizza and chicken for the whole cast and crew. At that point she was asked if the two had plans to marry and she said she was still too young to consider it.
"It feels like something that won't happen until well into our future," said Park, who appeared in the dramas "Oh! My Lady" and "My Fair Lady." "Nothing can be guaranteed in a person's life, but I want to marry after I turn 30. I think Dong Wook feels the same."
Both Se7en and Park Han Byul are 28 now.
Park has made no statement about the massage parlor incident, which is being investigated by the Ministry of National Defense. The ministry stated that one of the two celebrities has a bad back and a bad knee and that's why he went for a massage. But they did not say which singer it was and offered no explanation for the presence of the other singer.
Immediately after the scandal made the news, screen captures of Se7en's military profile were posted online alongside Park Han Byul's. His said, "Things can happen." Hers said. "Don't do anything you'll regret."
Was her motto a warning to her boyfriend? He might have listened to her motto instead of his own and saved himself a lot of bad publicity.
