  1. We gotta make this Documentary viral. It’s perfect that he’s the face of the documentary.

  2. I remember when she was investigating this. His label protected him back in 2016.

  3.  @gaet1893 The Korean media attacked her. If you were a whistleblower, the media tore you to shreds. Omg that’s heartbreaking that her own mom treated her that way.

  4. Thank you for sharing. I’m Chinese American and I can relate. Families want a son. Rather than a daughter. And women are criticised and torn to shreds. All the women who did speak up about Burning Sun was ridiculed for being the whistle blowers to this scandal. The female fans went after the reporters, because their reporting hurt their oppas.

  5. Remember the actress who died during Boys Over Flowers kdrama? Her best friend had to hire a bodyguard when she tried to reopen the case up.

  6. I found out about this from a cashier working in a bookstore. He told me suddenly his news feed is full of Burning Sun.

  7. They absolutely were. That was so not okay at all. I’m sorry that happened to you. I was also a fan of his music, as was all of Korea. He collaborated with the biggest female singers like Younha. Tablo’s daughter even fist bumped him on Return of Superman. He basically was on every variety show in Korea.

  8. That is insane. The Kpop fandom is its own level of crazy.

  9. That’s insane.

  10. My friend from Korea who I went to grad school with said the very thing you said. He said Kdramas are make believe, that they aren’t real. He told me to watch a movie that showed how men are violent toward women, and how the law allows them to get away with it with little to no repercussion. He said that’s reality. Beastie Boys was about the club scene. He came from Korea to Michigan and he wanted to stay in US. He had to return to Korea. Thank you for being so brave and sharing your story.

  11. BBC didn’t want to face defamation lawsuits from their agencies. We see that happening to Dan Schneider’s Quiet On Set.

  12. Based off my friend’s reaction to Korea, he’s a lot older than me, and was born in Korea, it’s an open secret how men treat women.

  13. That’s insane. What do you mean by inconsistencies?

  14. I have a friend from Korea who told me Kdramas are fantasy and make believe. The only movie he told me to watch was Beastie Boys. Its about the club scene. It exposes the physical and sexual violence Korean men have over women, and how they get away with their violence scot free with little to no sentencing at the end. He said that’s Korea. He was horrified.

  15. A friend of mine from grad school is Korea. He even told me that Kdramas are make belief. They’re a fantasies essentially. Thank you for sharing.

  16.  @jonedepth9164  Good! I’m glad. I heard about this doc on Tuesday from a cashier at Barnes and Nobles. He’s a Kpop fan, and he told me his feed was about Burning Sun.

  17. Can never listen to Big Bang. The members all knew he was into shady stuff but they didn’t want to whistleblow on their member.

  18. . But Seungri, Jung Joon Young, and all these guys are free, outta jail. Diddy is facing jail time for potentially 15 years. WTF is up with the standards!?

  19. It’s what my friend has been saying all along. I was shocked.

  20. His damn label protected him back in 2015. I remember in real Time when the scandal dropped. I didn’t know she was bullied. Course news outlets didn’t reveal that!

  21. That is insane. Insane that men are blatantly asking if you live alone. Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a friend who’s from Korea. We met in grad school. It’s an open secret how Korean men treat women. He was horrified. I’ve had a random guy hold my hand on an empty subway in NYC. As an Asian American, I can relate. Some white dudes fetishise Asians.

  22. GD ain’t flying there to promote his next venture.

  23. She wasn’t. These predators went after women who weren’t famous. But she was viciously bullied online.
    3
  24. He can’t sing like Taeyang.

  25.  @shafarahmanifaza Like many artists, I’m not even sure he reads his own comments. Good for holding him accountable for being complicit in the group chat.

  26. That is insane!!! He didn’t help 2NE1 and they had to disband because of scandal:
    3
  27. I am so sorry that happened to you.

  28. GD isn’t his friend. And sorry his vocals were always inferior. What a narcissist.

  29. Wolf of Gangnam. He is Epstein.

  30. Beastie Boys is a Korean movie my friend recommended. It shows Korean society and how little the law protects women from assault and violence. He’s Korean and he doesn’t watch kdramas, because he says it’s all Cinderella type fantasies. Life isn’t Cinderella, he says.

  31. Wealthy wives who were fans of Big Bang.

  32. I’m glad my friend didn’t move to Korea to be with her boyfriend. She stayed in the US to further her career.

  33. Jung Joon Young also collaborated with big female names in his music, like Younha. Boy is his real self nothing like the image his company crafted for him. Dude was even featured on Return of Superman in an episode where Tablo’s daughter fist bumped him! He was everywhere.

  34. Seungri has always been off. I’ve always been uncomfortable with him. Been a fan since 9th grade, since 2007.
    2
  35. I agree. My friend from Korea told me to watch a Korean movie that showed how badly women are treated.

  36. Seungri ruined their legacy.

  37. I was bullied maliciously by a kid who sat behind me in gym class in 6th grade. He was also Chinese like me, but he borderline harassed me every single day by fat shaming me. I said nothing to him but he started picking on me. He was unattractive, didn’t have that many friends. But that kid targeted me ALL sixth grade. So I get it. Not all Asian Americans are like that but plenty are.

  38. My friend from grad school who’s Korean said the same thing.

  39. And these were the least explicit videos.

  40. GD made a diss track on his first solo album insulting Seungri’s friends. He just knew they were sus.

  41.  @jinjuyama65 The two are childhood besties.

  42.  @RozefAlAliNA23CarlEngströmgymn  She was the first to expose Jung Joon Young. She wrote an article about him but faced backlash because of his label. His lawyers had his ex girlfriend retract her allegation, otherwise she’ll face punishment. Like legal. They didn’t have his phone yet. She opened the floodgates for Burning Sun + chats to be exposed.

  43.  @shinchanfan3681  Netflix capitalises on kdramas. They made a doc on that Telegram Nth room but it wasn’t advertised.

  44. That is also the plot to Beastie Boys. It’s a Korean movie. Didn’t think it was also reflective of Korean society.

  45.  @Dee-q8q I know people who honestly don’t care. They’re just after money, someone who can take them out on luxurious shopping sprees. Society is sickening.

  46. I was a huge fan of Big Bang before this. Jung Joon Young collaborated with the biggest female singers, like Younha. Can’t believe his label protected him.
    1
  47.  @user46421 He has the same label as Younha, who is an amazing singer and has collab-ed with Epik High. I don’t remember what the label was.

  48.  @michelleenderink3664  group chat.

  49. Me too!!! I listened to Big Bang in 9th grade right when they debuted. I’ve never liked Seungri. I was a fan of GD and Taeyang.

  51. Korea’s Diddy is free. He barely faced any time and he’s living it up.

  52. They’re his hyungs. Well they were.

  53. Diddy will face time in jail but the singers from the Burning Sun are free and living their best lives….

  54. They fell for their label’s image that has been carefully crafted to manipulate a female fanbase. They delusional AF.

  55. Money Seungri made after running his trafficking scheme from Burning Sun…

  56. Reporter was reporting on their oppa. Jung Joon Young was the biggest star at that time, 2015. His label protected him.

  57. Finally the whole picture has been released. I felt we only got a snippet of what actually happened. And they’re all free to walk and be apart of society again.

  58. It’s all finally coming out. Seeing the videos from that chat alone is chilling and disturbing. Shows what monsters they really were.

  59. Omg same. I was a fan of Big Bang until this. I can’t believe I used to listen to them because they collaborated with Younha, who is an incredible female singer.

  60. For exposing one singer who was a fan favorite on variety shows, who collab-ed with big name female artists! So messed up and his label defended him!
    1
  61. I can’t listen to any Big Bang. Unless they friggin remove his vocals.

  62. This was before Burning Sun scandal came out. In 2015, Rapist’s label protected him for as long as they could until Burning Sun came out.
