A brand new K-drama titled “Celebrity” is streaming on Netflix and we can’t stop gossiping about it. Nowadays, everyone is rooting only for three things, followers, likes, and comments. As the years are passing by, more and more people are joining Instagram. Social media has truly changed many lives out there. This blockbuster K-drama is mainly centered around the bright and dark side of social media. Fame can indeed be a tricky thing to handle! But the madness of money and power truly changes the table upside down.
This Intriguing drama series revolves around the life of Seo A-ri, a mere cosmetic hawker whose life is about to change soon. Born to a businessman, there was a time when Seo A-ri was also incredibly rich. But then his father passed away and every good thing in her life tore apart. She had to drop out of college and thus started making money through a barely stable job. But then one fine day in the mall, she meets Min-hye, her long-time high school friend.
Back in the old times, Min-hye was a bit poor and mostly ignored by A-ri. But now, things have changed, she has got an upper hand here. Interestingly, Seo A-ri gets invited to an influencer’s meet and this is where her life changed forever. Guess what, a new influencer is about to step into the glam world. And unlike other e-celebs, she is not going to be a coward or a stooge. A-ri is ready to take the world by storm! Thus on popular demand, here is everything we know about the blockbuster K-drama, “Celebrity”.
Celebrity Ending Explained – How Was Seo A-ri’s Career Destroyed?
Before A-ri rose to fame, Instagram was crazy with the content posted by the famous Gabin Society. Initially, Seo A-ri was just curious to learn more about the popularity of e-celebs. But slowly and steadily, she started seeing how cool and easy this whole thing was. The influencers truly get to live the royal life, that too without paying for anything. From thousands to millions, as days were passing by, so was her follower count. A-ri’s father had a sound business in textile and when it comes to fashion, no one can ever question her spectacular fashion sense. As the story moves forward, we will see how she starts her own brand and gains immense recognition and popularity.
But with fame, money, and power, she also got a bunch of enemies! The core four members of the Gabin Society were against her! After all, she did ruin their career and showed them her true capabilities. Moreover, that night at the club, she was even ready to dial down the cops. This would have truly jeopardized Tae-jeon’s long-term established business and reputation. Last but not least, one of her followers, under the name of “bbbfamous”, was doing everything possible to destroy her career.
It was highly compelling to see how Tae-jeon discovers everything about Min-hye! She was the one who had originally posted the photo of Chae-hee doing drugs. But since A-ri was also visible in the photo and had already delivered a statement to the cops, they decided to blame it all on her. It was truly shocking to see that Min-hye’s pretentious livestream was enough to ruin Seo A-ri and her clothing brand. But again, we cannot deny the fact that A-ri tried too hard to reach the top. And when she got that position, she did transform into those arrogant influencers, who take everything for granted.

After a full gap of three months, Seo A-ri was again seen online on her mysterious social media account. She was bombarding everyone’s real characters, the truth was about to be out. Can dead people truly do something like live-stream? Well, the audience was surely troubled to learn that the live stream was not done by Seo A-ri herself. It truly gave us shivers, for a moment, even we started assuming she was dead. Who would have thought that her best friend and long-time employee, Jeong-sun, was narrating the whole story to us?
In the very last scenes of Celebrity, we see how Seo A-ri acted out her suicide. This was the main reason why the cops were able to find the car, but her dead body was never found. Again, all of the act was just done to bring out the truth. The highly pretentious and glamorous social media lives of the Gabin Society members were destroyed. Tae-jeon was behind bars. The pub owner surrendered under pressure and finally, A-ri discovers all about her popular hater.
Was Seo A-ri Reunited With Joon-Kyung?
This K-drama doesn’t have many romantic scenes, but the concept of love and hatred has been deciphered quite well here. The tension which A-ri shared with Han truly impressed us a lot. Tae-jeon initially tried really hard to kill Joon-Kyung, but thankfully, the doctors were able to save him. He survived the accident and finally, in the very last episode of Celebrity, we saw the grand reunion. After three months, finally, the pair was back together. Moreover, despite loving Joon-Kyung with all her heart, Si-hyeong finally decided to sacrifice her love and walked out of the room!
Why Did Seon-Yeong Jump Off The Building?
Her top-most hater, “bbbfamous” finally meets A-ri. Luckily, she was able to learn everything about Seon-Yeong. No wonder why she was so shocked to see A-ri alive. The therapist in the massage center, who goes under the alias Eun Chae happens to be the main culprit of the story. She was so frustrated with her everyday mediocre life that she started taking a deep interest in e-celebs. She was highly envious of their lifestyle, fame, money, and power.
When A-ri and Si-hyeong decide to visit her, she got a sudden panic attack and decided to attempt suicide. But with the help of the doctors, they were finally able to save Seon-Yeong. She will surely pay for all the chaos and hatred she has created against A-ri. But for now, her messed up house needs to be cleaned! Again, we were also quite happy to see that A-ri hasn’t lost all of her popularity!
