The Dark Side of Fame: How Scandals Are Changing the Entertainment Industry
The entertainment industry has always been plagued by scandals, but recent events have shown that the consequences of bad behavior can be severe. From sexual harassment allegations to heist thrillers, the industry is reeling from the fallout.
Take, for example, the case of Oh Young-soo, the renowned actor from Netflix’s hit series “Squid Game.” Oh Young-soo’s rise to international fame was meteoric, but it was short-lived. Allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct surfaced, and the actor was subsequently banned from appearing on KBS programs. The decision reflects a growing trend in the industry, where there is increasing scrutiny and lower tolerance for public figures involved in scandals.
Meanwhile, Amazon Prime Video is teaming up with UK production company Drama Republic for a new heist thriller series titled Haven. The project has already generated buzz, with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner set to star alongside Saltburn actor Archie Madekwe and Bodies actor Jacob Fortune-Lloyd. The series promises to be a high-octane contemporary thriller, with Turner playing Zara, an office worker at pension fund investment company Lochmill Capital.

But the industry is not just about scandals and new projects. The way we consume entertainment is also changing. With the rise of streaming services, the traditional model of weekly episode releases is being challenged. Take, for example, Amazon’s “Fallout” series, which was released all at once. While some fans enjoyed the binge-watching experience, others felt overwhelmed and sluggish after consuming the entire series in one sitting.
As the entertainment industry continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the consequences of bad behavior will be severe, and the way we consume entertainment will continue to change.
