Key figures from the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal, including former BIGBANG member Seungri and singer Jung Joon Young, are making headlines again for their recent club appearances following their releases from prison. Their actions have sparked controversy as they continue to engage in nightlife activities.

On the 8th, reports surfaced on online communities and social media about Jung Joon Young being spotted in Lyon, France.

One netizen recounted, "I was at a club in Lyon with friends when I mistakenly ordered drinks. Just as I was about to offer them to others nearby, a guy suddenly approached and took them. It turned out to be Jung Joon Young."

The netizen added, "I wasn't sure at first, but I recognized his tattoos and confirmed it when another Korean pointed him out as a famous singer."

Another netizen shared a photo of Jung Joon Young with long hair and a beard, smiling and claiming he plans to open a Korean restaurant in Lyon while socializing with women at bars.

Seungri, also central to the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal, has similarly been seen partying after his release. He recently hosted 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 like Hong Kong actor Pang Chu-ming and Taiwanese actor Kuo Jen-dong, previously involved in drug allegations in China, who were spotted at the Burning Sun club in 2019.

As the scandal re-emerges, attention is also focusing on the victims. Actress Go Joon-hee faced backlash after a photo with Seungri labeled her as a 'Burning Sun actress,' causing significant damage to her career. The late singer Goo Hara, who actively supported the journalist covering Burning Sun, also questioned her victimization.

Meanwhile, despite previous convictions, figures like Jung Joon Young and Seungri continue to face criticism for their behavior. The future consequences of their actions remain uncertain.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
