In recent days, Korean media has been overwhelmed by a series of never-before-published information about the Burning Sun scandal.

The details behind this scandal were exposed by British media in the over 1 hour long documentary “Burning Sun: Exposing Kpop’s secret chat groups”.

The names Seungri, Jung Joon Young and Choi Jong Hoon were mentioned again, especially when all three were released from prison.

The film delves into the sexual assault allegations and illegal operating methods of the Burning Sun nightclub run by Seungri.

The former member of Big Bang lives a double life. On stage, he is a famous idol, admired by thousands of people.

But in the dark, Seungri wants to be called by another nickname: Great Gatsby. He wants to be worshiped like Gatsby – the powerful, luxurious, party-loving character surrounded by women in the famous novel “The Great Gatsby” by writer F. Scott Fitzgerald.

According to Korea Times, the film also released footage showing Seungri violently holding a woman’s hand, controlling her and then boasting that he was a member of the group Big Bang during a wild party.

The complacency of being a member of Big Bang prompted Seungri to found Burning Sun and turn it into his own empire. Under Seungri’s manipulation, this nightclub covered up many illegal acts such as gambling, secret filming, prostitution, and sexual abuse.

Seungri calls himself Seungtsby and organizes many lavish parties, inviting many VIP guests to show off his power. It wasn’t until the shocking sex chat room was exposed that the audience discovered the true face of Big Bang’s youngest member at one time.

A former employee of Burning Sun said this nightclub stored a lot of gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a sedative, often used as an anesthetic to rape victims. This person witnessed women losing consciousness after being injected with GHB every day at Burning Sun.

According to MBC, there are 10 celebrities involved in the sex chat room. In particular, Seungri is the leader of the chat group.

Male singer Jung Joon Young, known as Seungri’s right-hand man, has distributed 11 videos secretly filming women. Choi Jong Hoon, Eddy Kim, and Lee Jong Hyun all made obscene comments and treated women like objects.

In the end, Seungri received a sentence of 1 year and 6 months for the crimes of prostitution brokerage and organizing gambling abroad…

Jung Joon Young served 5 years in prison for gang rape while Choi Jong Hoon served 2 and a half years. All three key members of the depraved chat group in the Burning Sun case have been released from prison.

The documentary about Burning Sun has attracted great attention, reaching 4 million views just two days after its release.

However, Korean media said that Burning Sun’s collapse is not the end. What happened at Burning Sun is likely still happening at other nightclubs, because these activities are very difficult to detect and completely prevent.
