Mental health struggle is not a popular concept in Asia. Shrinks don’t garner good business in that part of the globe. Asia so have the lowest recorded mental health problems but the operative word? Recorded. Just because it’s not documented doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The aversion to it, however, is embedded in our history in culture.

Understand the facts behind the drug controversy involving South Korean Idol, B.I. from the boygroup iKon and why it resulted to the resignation of YG Entertainment’s founder and (non former) President Yang Hyun Suk.

This controversy is intricately connected to other prominent idols such as GDragon and T.O.P. of Big Bang. It allegedly also demonstrates the corruption destroying South Korean Police.
