• Jung Joon Young Spotted in France, Local Resident Warns Public: "Be Careful of Him"

    Singer Jung Joon Young, who served a five-year prison sentence for serious charges including group sexual assault, has been seen multiple times in France. This has led to local residents issuing warnings and sharing new photos of him.

    On September 1, a local resident posted a warning on their social media, saying, "Guys, I saw Jung Joon Young in Paris. Be careful," and included photos and videos of him.

    In the photos, Jung Joon Young is shown with long hair, wearing a shirt and shorts. In one video, he notices he's being filmed and turns his head away.

    Local comments included, "A Korean is planning to open a restaurant in Lyon; we should be cautious," and "Is he in Paris after Lyon?"

    Jung Joon Young was previously spotted in a Lyon club in July. While those photos were unclear, the latest ones show him clearly, looking directly at the camera.

    At the Lyon club, a Korean speaker named A recognized Jung Joon Young and struck up a conversation. A was excited to meet someone who spoke Korean.

    During their chat, a member of Jung Joon Young’s group mentioned, "He is a famous singer in Korea," and A realized he was talking to the person involved in the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal.

    A later communicated with Jung Joon Young on social media, where he introduced himself as "Joon from Boston," and mentioned, "I am a lyricist and composer. I will soon open a Korean restaurant in Lyon." There were also reports of him interacting physically with a foreign woman at the club.

    When news of Jung Joon Young’s presence in France spread, he reportedly told A, "I just asked people to be friends; I’m very disappointed," and then deactivated his social media account.

    A shared their concerns about the reaction to Jung Joon Young, saying, "He hasn’t changed at all. Five years in prison doesn’t change a person, and I dislike that he still seems intent on staying in the music industry."

    Jung Joon Young was expelled from the entertainment industry in 2019 due to the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal.

    He was sentenced to five years in prison for distributing illegal footage and group sexual assault and was released in March. There’s ongoing speculation about whether he is trying to establish himself in France after these sightings.

  • BTS's V Causes MASSIVE Crowd Chaos in Indonesia - Fans Flock to SimInvest Event for Exclusive V Merch

    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!
