Pann talks about an old blind item on Robert Holley's homosexuality


June 2, 2008

A famous entertainer R's double life is shocking the entertainment industry.

R has been spotted frequently at a gay bar in Itaewon. It's shocking many people because R showed his happy life with his family on the broadcast. Because of that, his double life is surprising the insiders even more. Unlike R's family-oriented personality on the broadcast, he has a separate place where he lives with a young male partner.

An insider says, "The truth of R's sexuality is quietly spreading in the industry. I heard that he's still living with a man in his 20's that he met at a gay bar."

R is strict about keeping it a secret. Even to the people that he's close to in the industry, he hid his double life completely. However, R's secret reached its limit. Since the society became increasingly interested in homosexuality, R's previous partners started advancing into the entertainment industry. It started to expose his secret. At first, the insiders were doubtful of the rumors. But the detailed accounts on R's double life could only shock them. R seems to be aware of what's going on because he's been staying off of the broadcast and eyeing the situation.

An insider says, "At first, I thought the rumors on R were nonsense. However, I was so surprised by the accounts told by the partners that he lived with until recently. Some people think there's a hidden story because R isn't a bad person. A lot of people are also shocked that R was able to fool everybody completely like this."

Pann: Gay rumors of Robert Holley that were revealed in 2008

1. [+164, -13] If he's gay, he should live as gay instead of fooling his wife, marrying her, and having children. Disgusting.

2. [+129, -2] We're not criticizing his homosexuality, we're criticizing him cheating on his wife. It's indeed disgusting. He even has a place to have affairs and do drugs. We have to forgive him because we can't out him? And it's hypocritical of you to believe in a religion that bans homosexuality and criticize homophobic people.

3. [+95, -134] He could be bi. But why did they have to out him regardless of his crime... It's a bit...

4. [+81, -62] Robert Holley and Lee Jun Ki lived together, too. Maybe?

5. [+69, -2] On a TV show, Robert Holley talked about how his wife went on a trip with a man behind his back and then got caught. They ended the story saying she has a lot of male friends. Before, Jo Hye Ryun's son talked about seeing Jo Hye Ryun's personal trainer touching her body. Jo Hye Ryun then said he was just checking her muscles and ended the story. Soon after, Jo Hye Ryun was revealed to be cheating with the trainer. I'm not saying that Holley's wife is cheating but when celebrity couples talk about their iffy stories as a joke on the broadcast, it could actually be a serious problem. The wife was going on a trip with a man but she didn't even bother to tell her husband about it? Since then, I felt strange whenever I saw the couple. I didn't know this was the story behind all this. Only the couple would know what's going on between them but they've separated their places and living their own lives. I think it's very possible that the wife knew all this.

6. [+62, -0] Stop worrying about outing homosexuals. They shouldn't marry, then. I feel bad for his wife the most.

7. [+35, -0] Is his homosexuality the important topic here? Even if he's straight, cheating on his wife is a trashy act. What does being straight or gay have anything to do with it? He cheated on his wife and sons, that's the fact.

8. [+24, -1] 6 years ago, my American gay friend who doesn't know about Korean celebrities told me about it. He went to a gay bar in Korea and saw Holley with a Korean actor. He told me the actor's name, too. At that time, I thought it was a bull but it was true...

1. [+189, -18] The point isn't his homosexuality, it's him cheating.

2. [+156, -4] Do people think a homosexual can cheat? If he got caught when adultery laws existed, he would've been charged...

3. [+128, -16] Robert Holley first came to Korea as a Mormon missionary. Mormonism is a religion that derived from Christianity and bans alcohol, drugs, and homosexuality. They were very issued by their fights against hippies and the scale of the religion is pretty big today. Anyways, a missionary like him doing drugs and having a homosexuality relationship is a problem. Stop talking about outing.

4. [+55, -2] On a TV show, they talked about Holley's wife going on a trip with a guy and then getting caught by Holley but they ended the story saying she has a lot of male friends. Also, the couple has been living separately since a long time ago. I think they both know and decided to live their own lives.

5. [+51, -7] What I don't like about the articles is they should be focusing on cheating and drugs instead of homosexuality.

6. [+50, -2] Daebak, Holley had a blind item in 2008 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can't dismiss blind items. The entertainment industry is really dirty.

7. [+23, -3] What's the relationship between Lee Jun Ki and Holley?
