January 1st is almost coming to a close in Korea, and as has been tradition, it is the day when Dispatch unveils celebrity couple dating news. However, it's not the case this year.
Korean SS fans have taken it upon themselves to reach out to Dispatch to find out why they've broken from their tradition, and the wonderful folks of the outlet responded kindly (There is a copy of the response in hangul, if anyone is wondering.)
Thanks to @koreasongsongcouple for the translation and to Dispatch for the response.
QuoteDear Dispatch,
Aren’t you releasing any [couple’s] breaking news this year on Jan. 1st?
QuoteFrom Dispatch Chief Editor
Our Country is going through the President Impeachment.
Currently, the main concern of our Korean people is … President Park Geun Hye and Choi Sun Sil, their gangs, and their followers.
It is the time for us to pay attention to our political situation more than ever.
That is why we, Dispatch, did not break out any news this Jan.1st.
Instead, Dispatch is looking and reporting news related to the current political situation instead.
Despite being a branch of entertainment media, Dispatch tried to share whatever is necessary for this Country.
Dispatch will return again on the day when it is safe for the search terms “stars’ love affairs” to sweep all the “search” section.
Happy New Year!
From the Chief Editor of Dispatch
So, it seems if it weren't for the political situation in Korea (which Ki even alluded to during his red carpet interview at KBSDA), Dispatch would have outed a celebrity couple today.
Who knows if that couple would have been the Songs or another couple, but it is still very nice of Dispatch to reply to the Korean fans and put things in perspective, remind us what is the top priority in Korea right now.
And as antsy (actually, rather impatient) as some of us are that the Songs are officially outed, we all know the real score between them anyway But, truly looking forward to the day when what we believe and know are validated officially by the Songs. Hehe.
Have a happy new year, everyone!
