Escándalos del K-pop

Prostitution, drugs and abuse: the case that shook K-pop

Promotion of prostitution, illegal recordings of women, tax evasion and embezzlement are the charges facing South Korean singer Lee Seung-hyun, K-pop star

The scandal of Seung-hyun, better known as Seungri, according to the reports that came to light, involves other K-pop singers, businessmen and even policemen.

One of the events that revealed this network was when a man denounced aggressions in Burning sun, a discotheque in Gangnam where Seungri was co-owner.

Bribes, violence against customers, drug trafficking and consumption, and the hiring of prostitutes for VIP clients were carried out in this place, according to the investigation.

The journalist Kang Kyung Yoon found a chat where not only Seugri, but also other K-pop stars like Jung Joon-young, vocalist of Drug Restaurant or Choi Jong-hoon, leader of FT Island, shared sexual videos recorded without permission.
