When tall actor (TA) was starting out, he caught the public eye because he was the best-looking in his batch. But when it came to acting talent, he was not as good compared to the other members. Yet, he was doing several projects. Rumors floated that it was so because he was the pet of an influential executive of the network. Eventually, owing to the network's proper handling of him, TA became a household name in no time.
Other than acting, TA evolved - he formed his own band, ventured into businesses, fell in love, and almost transferred to a rival network. Sadly, TA's band did not reach as much fame as the other bands which were popular in the late 90's. Most people dismissed it as just TA's pastime and did not take his singing seriously. TA tried his hand in restaurant business, among others. But the economic situation and other problems at that time led to its dismal failure.
As for his colorful loves of his life, his relationships were always highly publicized. Through the years, TA got involved in a questionable wedding ceremony with a pretty actress, announced publicly that he was going to marry a young model, and clammed up when asked about his puzzling relationship with a controversial host/actress. Sometime ago, TA was even about to move to a rival station, and the supposed new home already prepared his role in a Korean telenovela adaptation. However, a heart-to-heart talk with his mentor made him stay. TA improved in his acting and even got recognized by a couple of prestigious award-giving bodies.
For many years, TA had both successfully and unsuccesfully reinvented himself so that he will forever remain in the public's consciousness. He spearheaded different advocacies and established foundations. These activities were again publicized, thus had ultimately created a very positive image for TA. In fact, it was floated that he might be a candidate for an international magazine’s Person of the Year award as a matter of course. Alas, a story is now circulating that TA has been very delinquent in his duties as head of his foundation. It was such a big let-down for people around him to know of his many shortcomings. Among others, he has yet to pay the salaries of the people running his foundation. Then, another complaint said that TA is hardly available for the activities related to it, but will only be around if the media were to cover. Does TA's behavior prove a very telling suspicion all along that he is just using his advocacy to add good points and further his sinking popularity? Well, perhaps, TA may have good intentions, too. Yet, as it is, you and I know that running a foundation such as his requires more than just good intentions. What is your take?
