We’re Not Broken, Just Bent..
- Celebrity soldiers were in the news again as reporters followed them after a concert and filmed them seemingly breaking a lot of rules by going out late to eat dinner and drink in civilian clothes and with cell phones. At the heart of the controversy however are Se7en and Sanhcghu who were followed to a less than reputable massage parlor. The military is currently investigating the case and will report their findings on July 5th. Many are saying that this scandal just may be the end to Se7en and Sangchu’s careers. (ystarnews)
