Which idols/actresses do you think have had sponsors or currently have sponsors now? Try to back up your claims with your reasoning why. Most recently Tahiti Jisoo posted messages from someone who was trying to set up a sponsorship with her. The idea of sponsors is nothing new in entertainment scenes around the world, and there have been several industry insiders, trainees and media outlets who have reported the presence of sponsors in the entertainment industry particularly when it comes to women celebrities. Sadly, the court ruled just last year that the letters she had left were "fabricated" leading many to believe that the scandal had further implications with the higher ups who had shut it down. She named 20 high profile men who had done so in her letters, however only 2 were ever charged with with anything.
She committed suicide and left letters detailing the abuse she underwent at the hands of her manager, who beat her and forced her to have sex with powerful men. JJY was an actress, most well known for her role in Boys Over Flowers. The Jang Ja Yeon scandal was a wake up call to a lot of international fans about just how dirty the entertainment scene in Korea can be.
