Yep, as we know Seungri and Jung Joon Young have now been named as suspects who also dragged other K-Pop idols such as Lee Jong Hyun to Choi Jong Hoon.

For those who don't know their case starts from the contents of the chat revealed since last February. Seungri became a suspect on charges of providing prostitution to business partners. Meanwhile Jung Joon Young for illegally recording videos and sharing them in group chat.

They also now not only deal with the authorities but also get social punishment. If in Indonesia, artists who make scandals can still be free to roam on television, which is arguably impossible in South Korea.

Note: the scandal here is not only sexual harassment but also drugs and others.
