A documentary by the title “Burning Sun: Exposing the secret K-pop chat groups” was made public through “BBC News Korea” on YouTube on May 19th.
The film unveiled interviews with Burning Sun victims, also disclosing alarming videos and messages by those implicated in the infamous scandal.
In the scandal’s developments back in March 2019, Yong Jun-hyung found himself amidst allegations of involvement in the Burning Sun events. He contended he was not part of the incriminating group chats but did confess to having privately received illicit recordings from Jung Joon-young.
Consequent to his statement, Yong Jun-hyung withdrew from the group Highlight and entered military service later in 2019. Even following his return to the public eye post-military duty, the lack of a formal apology has invited ongoing censure.
