Jay Park is taking legal action against a YouTuber who spread shocking false rumors about him online.

According to reports, Jay Park recently filed a request with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division, asking Google to reveal the identity of a YouTuber who has been spreading baseless accusations.

The YouTube channel operated by an individual known as "A", made outrageous claims about Jay Park.

The channel alleged that Jay Park was involved in drug smuggling, illegal cryptocurrency deals, and even had ties to the Chinese Triads!

They also claimed that Koala, a figure known to be close with singer Jessi, is a member of the Triads and supplies drugs to the hip-hop scene.

To make things worse, the said channel even showed footage of Koala inside Jay Park's company, More Vision, and used photos of Jay Park with Koala to try and make it look like they were connected.

The YouTuber also linked Jay Park to cryptocurrency activities, saying, “At ‘Rolling Loud 2023 Thailand,’ Jay Park and Jessi were the main Korean artists on the OKX Stage. OKX is a cryptocurrency exchange.” This was meant to suggest that Jay Park was involved in illegal crypto transactions.

These videos went viral, racking up millions of views and thousands of comments, leading Jay Park to take legal action. He first filed a lawsuit in December 2024 at the Seoul Central District Court.

However, because YouTube is run by Google, which is based in the U.S., the YouTuber's identity couldn’t be confirmed in Korea. So, Jay Park decided to take the fight to U.S. courts!

Now, Jay Park is demanding Google hand over crucial information, including A’s name, date of birth, gender, phone number, address, login IP records, and even payment details linked to their account. The case is currently under review by Judge Yvonne K. Lee in San Jose.

Park Bo Gum is not just a talented actor — he’s showing he’s smart with money too!

The star of Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines (폭싹 속았수다) recently made headlines after the value of his apartment jumped by a whopping 500 million won (about 370,000 USD) in just one year.

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s real estate transaction records revealed on the 19th, the apartment where Park Bo Gum lives — an 84㎡ unit in Gyeonghuigung Ja-i Complex 2 in Hongpa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul — was sold for a record-breaking 2.54 billion won on March 21st. The unit is located on the 11th floor.

When you compare it to last year’s prices, which ranged from 1.95 billion to 2.05 billion won, that’s a massive increase of about 500 million won!

Gyeonghuigung Ja-i is known as a luxury apartment complex inside Seoul’s historic Four Great Gates area. It’s super close to popular spots like Gwanghwamun, City Hall, and Seodaemun Station on Subway Line 5 — making it really easy to get to hot places like Yeouido, Mapo, and even Gangnam through Line 3’s Dongnimmun Station.

It’s reported that Park Bo Gum moved there back in 2019 after leaving Mokdong in Yangcheon-gu, choosing Gyeonghuigung Ja-i mainly for its perfect location near his work spots.

Other units in the same complex have also been seeing crazy price jumps! A 59㎡ unit recently sold for 1.85 billion won (15th floor) last month, and a 101㎡ unit was sold for 2.73 billion won (7th floor) in February.

An insider from the real estate industry said, "Apartments near palaces will likely stay in high demand because of their historic meaning, the beautiful city surroundings, and great transportation."

Looks like Park Bo Gum definitely made a smart move with this one.
