I notice Yoochun's "origin" is listed as Fairfax, Virginia, in the infobox. From what I can gather by poking around Wikipedia, origin is supposed to mean where a person's career started, if it's different than their birthplace. (I found this on a page related to Chinese entertainers.) This isn't cut and dry, but I'm not sure Virginia is the best item here. He lived there only four years and he signed up with a talent agency there (as noted in the article), but his actual career clearly began with TVXQ in Korea. Is there evidence of actual entertainment-related activities (jobs) he did in Virginia that could constitute a "career"? Any opinions? ^_^ 219.250.218.169 ( talk) 13:21, 31 December 2011 (UTC) reply

As we know that Wikipedia is not a template for news collections, all the contents listed on Wikipedia should be confirmed by official sources not just relied on the media like TV news, newspapers, and any internet sources.

Actually Wikipedia relies on reliable secondary sources, of which newspapers and internet sources can be. Primary sources, such as press releases from official companies, cannot be the only source of information. Suggest you read WP:PRIMARY for any discussion of sourcing information.

Hereby I would like to communicate with all for the following two points regarding the article "Park Yoochun":

1) Since the allegation are still under investigation by South Korea police up to date and we are all waiting for the truth which will be announced by Police. Therefore, it seems to be a kind of sneer rather than a firmed introduction to put the following "quoted" description right in the first section the introduction of Park Yoochun. I would like to suggest that the following description under the first section introducing Park Yoochun can be removed.

quoted

In 2016, while in the middle of his two-year mandatory military service, Park became the subject of a string of sexual assault charges earning him the nickname "Korea's Bill Cosby".[1]

unquoted

2) Following point (1) mentioned above, according to the public information on the news we can read up to date, all the allegations has still been under investigated by the South Korean Police. From the basic human rights perspective, I would like to suggest that the title of the section "sexual assault allegations" under Park Yoochun can be changed to "Controversy - sexual assault allegation " instead of "sexual assault allegation". Regarding the detailed description under the section since they are all from news whether TV or newspaper or internet, people can read the news sources clearly.

Thanks a lot for everyone's attention on my suggestions listed above and looking forward to get the consensus on my suggestion and see the modification soon. Hope this kind of discussion can make Wikipedia continuing being a free and good platform for truth and knowledge sharing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leeyinggao ( talk • contribs) 13:01, 3 July 2016 (UTC) reply

Done== Please edit the title of the section "Sexual assault allegations" ==

This is a bio of a living person. So any change could make some effection to his life immediately. And this case cruined his name and his 13 years career.

Although this is a on-going case but media reported the case with all one side statement from accusers. And now police proved those statements are lies through the investigation. When the police's investigate was on - going, there were a lot of "official statement" which was denied 1,2 hours later. So, I think, before the end of this case, we couldn't give any information about this. Because there are too many unconfirmation rumor and maybe they can't be proved either.

Although Park Yoochun is proved that he is innocent but there are many rumor from media with many negative report. And the soures are used for this article is untrufull sources such as soompi. Soompi is ussually has mistake in their translation when they report Park Yoochun's case. Now Park Yoochun is called the victim of media's witch - hunter.

If you think this part could not be deleted, intead of ""Sexual assault allegations", "Controversial allegation" may be a better title. — Preceding unsigned comment added by This is a funny name ( talk • contribs) 02:45, 12 October 2016 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia as an impartial recorder of history for Bios is to apply equality to all living people herein. Persons to be considered as having equal rights in status and opportunity across the platform.

Revisions on pages Justin Bieber, Jay-Z, Donald Trump and numerous other celebrity pages, conclusion that language used within uncited areas was misleading and not impartial. Content is correct but Wikipedia edit has been done to reflect the same impartial tone as per other articles therein. Hereby removing any discrepancy or possible undertone that this has been treated differently from any other celebrity facing similar character profiles or legal issues. Noted that allegations and use of words such as Sexual Assault for subheadings remain only on celebrities that have been charged for the crime. It is not the case here.

Sexual Assault Allegations has been removed and replaced with "Legal issues and controversies" so as to remove the impression of Wikipedia being discriminant toward this entertainer as charges were dropped. Content has been cited and reviewed. 20footfish ( talk) 02:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC) reply

Other Lawsuits has been included to tidy up information. Content has been unchanged. 20footfish ( talk) 02:09, 31 December 2020 (UTC) reply

Heading has been changed to Drug use and to Drug use and related charges. This is to be in line with current information as the celebrity has not retired. Retirement was subject to review as it was sitting within Lawsuits and scandals and it is not believed to have been a legal debate. Subjective on the scandals but not necessary as the information is recorded within his career info and at the top of the page. It was repetitive and has been removed. Further possible edits in the 2020 - Return to the entertainment industry area as some sentences are repeated. Not urgent for now. Thank you most kindly and have a great day.

In the case of public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable published sources, and BLPs should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.

Example: "John Doe had a messy divorce from Jane Doe." Is the divorce important to the article, and was it published by third-party reliable sources? If not, leave it out. If so, avoid use of "messy" and stick to the facts: "John Doe and Jane Doe divorced." Example: A politician is alleged to have had an affair. It is denied, but multiple major newspapers publish the allegations, and there is a public scandal. The allegation belongs in the biography, citing those sources. However, it should state only that the politician was alleged to have had the affair, not that the affair actually occurred. If the subject has denied such allegations, their denial(s) should also be reported.

After 18 hours of navigating through referenced articles, sourcing alternative opinions from various media outlets and article. After long chats with other wiki editors privately. Checked through the privacy policy and the viable sources policy. It was determined that the sources were not viable enough to warrant content being 100% factual enough to sit within and encyclopedia platform. None of the previous articles for any of the legal disputes had quotes from legal council. None were referring to legal documents or official interviews. None of the information could be backed up by the writers themselves and therefore the information has been removed. There were many articles about the scandals and controversies but because the information differs and Soompi can't agree with Allkpop, Naver contradicts itself, or South Korean media can't provide details about damages that were charged - it is considered as non-viable and defamation without evidence. Wikipedia as an impartial source of information doesn't require detail like newspapers do. The purpose is different and rather than report the news, we record the facts in history. If it's not 100% fact, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Any new editors for legal issues need to make sure they source at least 2 articles that say exactly the same thing, they need to be international sources that are listed on

This article was written after the 2016 accusations and once court cases had been closed of finalised, it replaces sources that were written before the court had made a ruling.

SBS popasia is a radio reporting media agent. It has a blog that is well resourced but it is not viable because Wikipedia doesn't allow blogs to be used as references. This site is a good example showing the difference in opinion between the many newsagents and media establishment in SK at the time. Locations and details around the accusation differ greatly, the accusations were proven false in the end or dismissed due to lack of evidence, there for the information is no longer important to Wikipedia. Here is the blog citing all the newsagents who can't seem to agree on detail.

I like to provide an opportunity for open debate prior to editing. FYI a number of sources have been found to be unviable. Slight issue with NewsMaker - Korean Herald, News later updated. The story had changed after the release of this article. I will confirm in 5 days but the viability of these articles is now being checked against contradicting information from other news outlets. It may be removed.

Information about Burning Sun Scandal and Hwang Hana irrelevant to Park YuChun. Belongs in a newspaper and not in the encyclopedia. If really required, then a new page must be created for Hwang Ha Na, a link can be made. As an editor, I will not make her page but anyone wanting this news on Wiki is welcome do this. It is not information that should be here on Park YooChun's page and will be removed - it falls into category of Wikipedia needing to remain impartial and having this information is misleading and detrimental - it needs to go.

Just a historic note to point to Giants like Google, Apple, Amazon, Twitter, Facebook and many others. In December 2021 the internet provider services and the social network sites identified that allowing the freedom of speech to encourage violence and extremism was a big mistake and policies with laws may be changed for 2021. The changes are coming.

What this does for Wikipedia is also highlight the fact that especially with "living" people, we need to be selective on our content and more focussed on implementing policy. I have noticed that this page has had many sources that are no longer current news, no longer the only news and details within articles differ. It is not to say that things didn't happen. It is to say that who's article do we take as the correct version of events? as there are so many, much of the info is being removed. The policies will take the foremost importance during my own editing. Leaning towards one reporter's ideas of events or leaning towards rumors, nonviable sources means that we'd be allowing Wikipedia to be an agent that is one-sided.

Hi I am editing this page then a few more celebs.

Yes I have taken info off and have put reasons into talk pages. If this is incorrect plse tell me how you'd prefer reasons there. They ar valid reasons and fall into Wikipedia policy. I am removing non-viable sources of information as per the Wikipedia Sources page and also have found articles that dispute or have different point of view. It is my take om impartiality that Wikipedia do not take sides so if we source one side of the story then we are taking sides. It's better to just not have the info there. This changed and when new information comes out in invalidating old according to WP:Prod, we don't need detail It is meant to be an encyclopedia and not a news article so we have to hold basic facts much like U2's page and Justin Bieber's page. I am changing this celebrity to look like these 2 celebrity pages in format and to include real news. The Impartiality policy of Wikipedia is the main reason and the valid sources which I can prove for every article now but it would take up a lot of space in history to do that.

Request for information on all worldwide fans sites. Some disputed that not enough info on his legal battles has been included. Some fans want it all gone. Sadly being impartial is our priority. Factual and impartial but because we use the "living Persons" terms and conditions (top of talk page) where we focus on wellbeing and mental health also of the individual, Wikipedia is happy with removing as much content as possible ( as far as I am able to read from their policies and culture on Twitter) Wikipedia would support this based on the policies online.

I have let users know much is deleted for this reason and also for the reason that every cited article was personally reviewed by me, checked with 2 other fans who speak the native language. They were all non-viable because the info on the wiki didn't match the article or was missing from the article completely, details contradicted by another article or an open-source SNS platform like Soompi, which has dedicated comment boxes are non-viable media sources. The wiki doesn't support media that allows comments beneath their articles, as it is not impartial journalism. (See the Sources policy). All have been removed.

Wikipedia sentence is incorrect as per the article that it is cited by. Plse take a look. I have detailed it in my talk page.. thanks 20footfish ( talk) 18:13, 29 January 2021 (UTC) reply

The drug charges and conviction is not the only issue; I haven't even looked at the sexual harassment allegations section which has also been all but obliterated which may or may not be appropriate, and there is still a lot of minor trivial detail that will probably need to be cleaned up as well.

As regards wording, I don't see where the paraphrasing misrepresents what the sources say. Keep in mind that we have to use different wordings, we can't repeat the source's words exactly unless we use direct quotes. I will respond here to what you say on your user talk page, here.

You claim that the two sentences "On April 26, 2019, Park was arrested on suspicion of purchasing and using methamphetamine. He was also suspected of attempting to destroy evidence by dyeing and shaving the hair from his body before undergoing the drug test." do not have a source. I think the misunderstanding here is that you thought each separate sentence has to have a separate source, which is not the case. These two sentences are supported by the same source that is given after the third sentence. If sentence 1 had had one source, sentence 2 a different one, and sentence 3 the same source as sentence 1, there would have had to be separate citation markers, but not when they are all sourced from the same place. (I hope that makes sense.)

Your second objection was to the phrasing "...announced that his contract would be terminated and he would retire from the entertainment industry". It looks like your principal issue with this is the phrase "he would retire" which was not supported by that source; it is a little odd that you'd object, though, given that it is so extremely easy to find sources for the statement. I'll develop it a little further, adding some more recent, sourced information that is relevant to this. -- bonadea contributions talk 11:09, 30 January 2021 (UTC) reply
