#LeeJunYoung reveals he was told “Don’t cause trouble for actors who need to succeed” during painful career transition. Lee Jun-young opened up about the struggles he faced after transitioning from idol to actor, candidly sharing the harsh comments and emotional battles he endured early in his career. On May 20, a video titled “A collection of stories where younger man Lee Jun-young's charm explodes, who wouldn't fall for him?” was uploaded on Ha Ji-young’s YouTube channel, where the actor reflected on his difficult journey after debuting with U-KISS in 2014. Lee Jun-young admitted that reality after debut was far from what he had imagined. “I thought that once I debuted, all my worries would be over, but instead of an end, new kids just came and greeted me,” he shared, describing the fierce competition in the industry. The actor further revealed that despite U-KISS receiving love and support, the group struggled to be viewed as massively successful. “People think there will be many opportunities (for idols), but it depends on the situation,” he said. Lee Jun-young confessed that he continued auditioning repeatedly because giving up felt unbearable. “I felt like a loser if I quit at that point,” he stated. Speaking about his transition into acting in 2017, Lee Jun-young emotionally recalled the criticism he received from others in the industry. “It was even harsher than that. I was told, ‘Don’t cause trouble for actors who need to succeed.’ It was incredibly hurtful,” he confessed. When he described his struggles by saying, “I really rolled around there,” Ha Ji-young agreed, saying the expression perfectly captured the hardships of surviving in the entertainment industry. #HallyuForums #Hallyu

Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she's coming for the AI industry, calling out Big Tech's data center boom as the next great environmental shakedown of American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com, and within a week over 1,600 residents had filed complaints spanning noise pollution, skyrocketing utility bills, and serious water depletion concerns. The pattern she's seeing looks awfully familiar: corporations dangle promises of jobs and tax revenue, municipalities wave projects through with minimal environmental review, and the people who actually live there get left holding the bag. The water issue alone should be setting off alarm bells. Data centers gulp enormous amounts of water to keep their cooling systems running, and some are being planted directly above critical aquifers. As Brockovich put it plainly, "Wasting heat is wasting water. We can't afford either." The technology to capture and reuse that waste heat already exists, it's just not being required. That's a policy failure, not a tech failure. A recent Gallup poll found that 7 in 10 Americans oppose data centers being built in their communities, with many saying they'd rather live near a nuclear plant. Brockovich's demand is straightforward: if Big Tech is going to drain public water supplies and jack up utility bills, the public deserves full transparency. "If you're using public resources, the public has a right to know how much. Sunlight is the best disinfectant."
