After their release from prison, the two frontmen of the Burning Sun scandal, namely Seungri and Jung Joon Young, returned to the public spotlight. Their activities in the nightlife sparked new criticism from the public.
After Jung Joon Young was caught seducing a girl while clubbing abroad, Seungri was also dragged into this situation. The two frontmen of the Burning Sun scandal were compared because of their choice of activities after being released from prison.
Recently, reports spread across online communities and social media about Jung Joon Young being spotted in Lyon, France. A netizen shared his experience of meeting the singer in a post Monday (8/7) local time.
“I was at a club in Lyon with friends when I accidentally ordered a drink. When I was about to offer the drink to someone else, a man suddenly approached and took it. "It turns out he is Jung Joon Young," he said.
The netizen added, “At first I wasn't sure, but I recognized the tattoo and confirmed it when another Korean pointed out it as a famous singer.”
Seungri was dragged after Jung Joon Young was caught clubbing abroad after being released from prison
Another netizen shared a photo of Jung Joon Young with long hair and a beard, smiling, and claimed that he plans to open a Korean restaurant in Lyon while socializing with women at a bar.
After Joon Young was arrested, Seungri, who was also at the center of the 'Burning Sun' scandal, was also dragged into it. The reason is that the former BIG BANG member was seen partying again after his release.
Recently, Seungri held a birthday party in Thailand and sparked controversy by mentioning G-Dragon at an event in Cambodia, singing BIGBANG songs. Reports have also linked Seungri to controversial figures such as Hong Kong actor Pang Chu-ming and Taiwanese actor Kuo Jen-dong who were previously involved in drug charges in China, who were seen at the Burning Sun club in 2019.
When this scandal resurfaced, attention also turned to the victims. Actress Go Jun Hee came under fire after a photo with Seungri led to her being labeled a “Burning Sun actress” which caused significant damage to her career. The late singer Goo Hara, who actively supported journalists covering Burning Sun, also questioned her victimization.
Meanwhile, despite previous convictions, figures such as Joon Young and Seungri continue to face criticism for their behavior. The future consequences of their actions remain uncertain. (wk/inta)
