People sometimes got *too* close.
Actress Kim Hee Sun recently talked about an exclusive online space for celebrities where they used to network and even link up personally!
On October 28, KST, Kim appeared as a guest on the popular web variety show, Salon Drip, where she shared the story of this exclusive virtual space while talking about her past connection with BIGBANG’s G-Dragon and singer Se7en.
The actress recalled interacting with G-Dragon when he was a high school student through a Daum café (online community) that only celebrities could join. It was a popular platform for members to interact with one another.
We don’t keep in touch now, but G-Dragon was still a high school student back then. There used to be a Daum café (online community) that only celebrities could join. You had to go through a verification process to get in, and once the moderator approved you, everyone there was a celebrity. So, we’d just have small chats among ourselves.

Singer Se7en, who was also a member, became close to Kim through this community. The actress fondly looked back upon their relationship, stating that, despite being in his 40s now, he still looked like a baby to her.
When host Jang Do Yeon prodded for more details about the Daum café, Kim revealed that it had been shut down, but not before causing multiple dating scandals.
Even within that café, people would date each other, and when they broke up, they’d cause a fuss and leave the group. Whenever we’d say, ‘This person’s going to make the news,’ sure enough, they’d end up in the headlines.
