On May 19, BBC News Korea released a video titled “Burning Sun: Exposing the Secret K-pop Chat Groups,” delving into the involvement of former BIGBANG member Seungri in the Burning Sun Scandal, the sexual assault and illegal filming crimes committed by former F.T. Island member Choi Jong Hoon, and the controversial group chat featuring Jung Joon Young.

As the Burning Sun Scandal resurfaces, public scrutiny has once again turned toward HyunA’s boyfriend, Yong Jun Hyung.

Yong Jun Hyung allegedly received an illicit video from Jung Joon Young in a private chat and made inappropriate comments back in 2015.

Consequently, he withdrew from HIGHLIGHT and completed his military service by November 2020. Upon his comeback in 2022, he clarified, “I did not participate in any of Jung Joon Young’s group chats.”

Despite avoiding legal repercussions, public opinion labeled him as a bystander who overlooked criminal behavior.

The fact that Yong Jun Hyung is Goo Ha Ra’s ex-lover, and his current girlfriend is HyunA (who was close to Goo Ha Ra), has also drawn criticism.

After watching the BBC documentary, many netizens expressed disappointment in HyunA’s association with Yong Jun Hyung on her social media platforms.

Singer Block B’s Zico faced renewed scrutiny as well. In 2016, Zico revealed on MBC’s “Radio Star” that Jung Joon Young possessed a “golden mobile phone,” sparking controversy.

Zico maintained that he only saw a list of contacts and denied any involvement in the scandal.

However, some netizens questioned his assertion, suggesting he might have encountered incriminating content.

Model-turned-actor Lee Chul Woo also addressed rumors linking him to Jung Joon Young’s group chat. On May 20, he reiterated, “I want to emphasize once again that I did not participate in any group chat involving illegal content.”

He clarified that the chat in question was related to a 2016 entertainment program.

Meanwhile, BBC’s documentary on the Burning Sun Scandal is gaining traction among K-pop fans worldwide.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
