I’m not sure The Hollywood Reporter would be anyone’s first place to learn about the internal politics of South Korea.
I would agree, if they didn't literally have an article titled "Why Did 'Barbie' Bomb in South Korea?"
Just because a publication tries to tackle a topic doesn't mean they are qualified, or that we should use that as an example of why the entire industry of journalism should be written off.
To be fair I generally feel this way about topics I'm actually knowledgeable on. I know the media tries to get it right and in this case it doesn't seem intentional. But it happens far too often and why would I assume it only happens on subjects I'm familiar with?
