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.

Former Girl’s Day member Jang Hye Ri (real name Lee Ji In) is making headlines after exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry—revealing that she once received a shocking sponsorship offer from a well-known entertainment company CEO.

On March 3, Jang Hye Ri appeared in a video titled "[NonNonNon] I Heard You Got Wasted and Ruined Yourself?" on the YouTube channel ‘Channel Fixed’ (채널고정해).

During the discussion, broadcaster Kang Byung Kyu opened up about the hidden dangers in the industry, saying, “Even today, there are idols who get invited to drinking gatherings by acquaintances of acquaintances. Some people keep luring them into these situations. We call them ‘devils.’”

Jang Hye Ri then shocked viewers by admitting, “I’ve been to those places before. I even sang there.” She continued, “Even now, I still get offers like, ‘Let’s talk business over drinks’ or ‘You need to build connections this way.’ It happens all the time.”

She also shared how these gatherings have evolved, saying, “Nowadays, it’s not just about drinking. There’s also golf. People keep asking, ‘Do you play golf?’ I don’t drink well, and I don’t enjoy these meetings. But sometimes, I wondered, ‘Do I have to do this to succeed?’”

Then, Jang Hye Ri dropped a bombshell—recalling a shocking moment from her rookie days:

“When I was a rookie, I attended a drinking gathering where a very famous CEO was present. He had even invited male rookies to sing. Then he suddenly told me, ‘If I help you grow, you have to be my girlfriend.’”

She continued, “I was caught off guard and immediately refused. But then he started listing celebrities he had ‘helped’ through these relationships. I was young, and it really hurt my pride. It made me determined to succeed without going down that path. But he told me, ‘You’ll never make it if you don’t do this. This is how the industry works.’”

Even after rejecting him, Jang Hye Ri revealed that she kept running into the CEO over the years. “Since he’s still active in the industry, I would occasionally see him. Every time, he would say, ‘You rejected my offer, and that’s why you’re struggling now.’ But honestly, I have no regrets. I wouldn’t change my decision.”

Meanwhile, Jang Hye Ri, one of the original members of Girl’s Day, has since transitioned into a trot singer. In 2020, she released her single "Seobangnim" and gained attention after finishing fourth place on KBS 2TV’s Trot National Contest.
