Key figures from the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal, including former BIGBANG member Seungri and singer Jung Joon Young, are making headlines again for their recent club appearances following their releases from prison. Their actions have sparked controversy as they continue to engage in nightlife activities.

On the 8th, reports surfaced on online communities and social media about Jung Joon Young being spotted in Lyon, France.

One netizen recounted, "I was at a club in Lyon with friends when I mistakenly ordered drinks. Just as I was about to offer them to others nearby, a guy suddenly approached and took them. It turned out to be Jung Joon Young."

The netizen added, "I wasn't sure at first, but I recognized his tattoos and confirmed it when another Korean pointed him out as a famous singer."

Another netizen shared a photo of Jung Joon Young with long hair and a beard, smiling and claiming he plans to open a Korean restaurant in Lyon while socializing with women at bars.

Seungri, also central to the 'Burning Sun Gate' scandal, has similarly been seen partying after his release. He recently hosted a birthday party in Thailand and sparked controversy by mentioning G-Dragon at an event in Cambodia, singing BIGBANG songs.

Reports have also linked Seungri to controversial figures like Hong Kong actor Pang Chu-ming and Taiwanese actor Kuo Jen-dong, previously involved in drug allegations in China, who were spotted at the Burning Sun club in 2019.

As the scandal re-emerges, attention is also focusing on the victims. Actress Go Joon-hee faced backlash after a photo with Seungri labeled her as a 'Burning Sun actress,' causing significant damage to her career. The late singer Goo Hara, who actively supported the journalist covering Burning Sun, also questioned her victimization.

Meanwhile, despite previous convictions, figures like Jung Joon Young and Seungri continue to face criticism for their behavior. The future consequences of their actions remain uncertain.

Actor Chun Jung Myung has opened up about a devastating betrayal by his former manager, who swindled tens of billions of won from his family. The former manager, who had been trusted like family, is now serving prison time for his actions.

In the December 8 episode of SBS’s My Little Old Boy, Chun Jung Myung shared the shocking details of his financial fraud ordeal with fellow cast members Lee Sang Min and Kim Heechul.

He explained, "I was financially defrauded by the manager I had worked with for 16 years since my debut. He forged documents to steal money and even caused huge financial losses for my parents."

A close source confirmed on December 9, "The manager mentioned on the show ultimately couldn’t repay the damages and is now serving his prison sentence for fraud."

The source also revealed that Chun Jung Myung suffered losses in the tens of billions of won. The emotional toll was severe, leading to social anxiety, and he even considered retiring from the entertainment industry due to the devastating betrayal.

Chun Jung Myung debuted in 1999 with the drama School 2 and became a household name with roles in Beijing, My Love, Fashion 70s, and What's Up Fox? However, after his role in the 2019 drama Urban Cops: KCSI, he suddenly disappeared from the spotlight, sparking concerns from fans.

An entertainment agency CEO weighed in, saying, "Celebrities, especially those with limited real-world experience, are vulnerable to scams because of their public status. Some get trapped and lose vast amounts of money after being used as figureheads."

An entertainment law expert added, "Fraud cases are tricky because proving the intent to steal is difficult. If someone makes an enticing offer, always ask, ‘Why me and not them?’ Skepticism is key."
