One of the questions we had going into this season finale of celebrity kdrama on netflix was simple: What happened to Tae-jeon at the end? But beyond that, the real mystery that kept us all on the edge of our seats was whether Seo A-ri actually returned from the dead to seek her revenge.
As we saw confirmed in the previous episodes, no one actually killed A-ri. However, you can definitely point fingers at the Gabin Society and the mysterious _bb_famous for driving her to that breaking point.

The Truth About Seo A-ri's Death
We were led to believe that A-ri took her own life by driving her car into the river. But here is the thing—it was all staged. Her body was never found by the police because she managed to escape the car before it was too late.
She didn't die; she went into hiding to meticulously plan her revenge. She was alive and healthy the entire time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike back at those who wronged her.
The Secret Behind the Livestream
The livestream that served as the framing device for the whole season had us all fooled. It turns out, A-ri's best friend, Jeong-Sun, and her brother were using deep fake technology to pose as A-ri during those broadcasts.
They used this advanced tech to expose the dark secrets of the elite, specifically the information regarding the overdose cover-up at the club by Tae-jeon. This was the key to bringing them all down.
The Fall of Tae-jeon
Tracking the source of the stream was incredibly difficult because it was bounced around various VPNs. However, Jun-Kyung managed to get there first. Tae-jeon and everyone involved in the club incident were rightfully arrested.
It was also revealed that the car accident involving Jun-Kyung was orchestrated by Tae-jeon after a lawsuit was filed. It was a predictable yet satisfying downfall for someone who thought they were untouchable.
Who is _bb_famous?
This brings us to the other essential question: Who exactly is _bb_famous? Earlier in the season, Ro-ola was accused twice of being behind the hate account, but the finale gave us the shocking truth.
A-ri discovered that _bb_famous is actually a young woman named Seon-yeong (or Eun-chae), who worked at the massage parlor frequented by the Gabin Society. While working there, she recorded their offensive conversations and used those scandalous details to blackmail and ruin these celebrities.
Her motivation wasn't entirely surprising. She was poor and exhausted from watching the rich and privileged live luxurious lives while treating people like her with disdain. Upon being discovered, she attempted to take her own life but survived and was taken into custody.
The Aftermath for the Gabin Society
After everything was exposed by the livestream, the Gabin Society was completely destroyed. Si-hyeon, who had silently supported A-ri's revenge plan, came out as the ultimate winner. She was finally able to divorce Tae-jeon, who is clearly going away for a long time.
Angela didn't fare well either. Her husband, who we already knew gave her nothing, kicked her out of the house immediately after finding out she had sold herself out for money. And finally, Chae-hee was arrested for her involvement in the drug scandal, sealing the fate of the entire group.
