The actress that killed herself LITERALLY LEFT A LIST and NO ONE DID ANYTHING ?!?!
She should have reveal them, then herself,
@@meenobk5847 right, like people would totally believe her
@@meenobk5847 the empathy coming from you is nonexistent. Think about it, think about how she would rather kill herself than go through the trauma of revealing the names alive. That should automatically make you think “well holy crap what does that say about our society…” not “well it’s her fault for killing herself”. It takes SO MUCH for a sexually abused woman to come forward to press criminal charges against an abuser, and if that person is a powerful or famous figure then the public torment that woman receives is brutal. That’s the reality. So often women just stay silent and let it eat away at them because even if that’s nearly unbearable, it’s still more bearable than the humiliation and hate and disbelief they receive if they try to press charges ON TOP of the trauma they are already feeling from the assault/s
@@1ia802 they wouldn't ofcourse 😔
@@LilacLoveMaze0613Yea, ur right, anyway,
I'm non existence, what more about my empathy.
It was just an empty hope, just like my other hopes about this infair world.
we’re just going to sit here and not acknowledge the fact that *none* of the men in jaeyeon’s list of men who assaulted her were *never* charged? her death is still in vain and that’s devastating
nope. and here you see more angry kpop fangirls defending hot-looking monsters rather than sympathizing with the victim.
i could commit suicide and list your name and say you abused me. listing names and saying “here they all abused me ruin their life” unfortunately does not work in court. im not questioning the validity of her list, and if what she is saying is true then its horrible and her death should not be in vain. merely trying to explain why a list cant get your charged.
@@JC-uf9kf totally agree, but they should definetly atleast be investigated, just because there could be a small chance that what she said was true and they could be comiting crimes as we speak.
@@lillyroman978 of course but im speaking abt the people who wants to immediately throw everyone who was on the list in jail bc theyre mad.
@@JC-uf9kf Look. Is that something you could do? Yeah. Is that something most people would do? No, not really. Context matters. A simple bit of investigation can tell you whether or not she was crazed and looking to hurt somebody. You don't just write it off because it COULD be a lie.
If you're upset because millions of people are very emotional over this stuff, maybe step back and think about a) the average AGE of the kind of k-pop fan posting in a UA-cam comment section, and b) the intense ramifications it has for their favorite hobby. Of course people are hyper-emotional, look at who and what you're dealing with! You have to cut them some slack. I don't even entirely disagree with you, but you have to remember you're not dealing with people in the middle of their most rational moments.
"women's drinks were getting spiked". No: "men were spiking women's drinks"
Pretty self explanatory
Same thing to be honest
@@ari2036 well no cause the way the sentence is formed is blaming the woman for being drugged
You mean pigs not men, real men wouldn’t do that real men respect and protect women
@@elsagil9978 if you lack common sense then I could see how someone would think that
I remember seeing a clip of knowing brothers (korean show) he was the guest .. He acted so sweet and kind, after this scandal I again came across that clip.. I got chills.. Celebrities put on a persona almost all the time.. Don't fall for it guys. The kind celebrity you have a crush on, who looks so perfect on screen could be a monster.

It's sad,that the victims at the end are the ones being shamed instead of the criminals who violated them..this is the world we live in sadly, but it's time to change this BS
do you live in Korea? Is Korea the world you reference?
@@mollkatless this happens around the world unfortunately. Victim Shaming is a thing.
@@moulimajumdar3176 You might make a case that victim shaming is a thing, to some extent I would agree, but there is a matter of degree. While it is always wrong, I would argue it is less prevalent in the west, than in other places
@@mollkatless so west is the world you reference? victim blaming is a thing and it should stop.
@@directornie5091 Excellent point! Yes, people do bad things to other people, all of that should stop. Well, now we have both said something that is true, but childishly unrealistic - I don't feel any better, you?
It's disgusting how men in power can get away with so much. People forget because they're famous or they use money to cover it up.
Yea, not only do they get away, they (Seungri), even hot a lot of support, people trended the hashtag apologise to Seungri and whatnot. Sickening......................and.....just soo disappointing and heartbreaking. Never, and I mean absolutely never, had I thought that "rapists" would actually be supported and loved. Sure, they can get away with power of money, but to be supported? Never saw that day coming.
@@Handle4467 The Burning Sun scandal was so gross, a prime example of men in power.
@@Handle4467 Pretty privilege really smh, alsoo look at their last posts on ig and read the comments- idk the simps just annoy me
Anyone with power can get away with so much. Stop bringing men into everything, we get it, you're sexist. Feminists are hated so much for a reason.
@@Joseph-xj4ex lol triggered
I feel sad for the actress who committed suicide. The fact that there is still no action taken shows how nastily the issue was covered
they deserve heathier charge. can't believe there is people actually defending them or wishing them to come back. they can go rot honestly.
There are some people, including friends of hers, who don't believe she commit suicide. She is said to have made the list only in case she was killed. I don't know what the truth is, but either way, it breaks my heart.
@@zahra5301 it is good that BBC has done a documentary on this. South Korea & it's people need to be reminded so the victims who suffered so terribly & 2 who died, they will not hv suffered in vain. These horrifying men are now out with just a slap on the wrist! To help do greater justice to the victims incldg the very courageous women reporters, we shud alert as many as we can to watch the BBC documentary.
I recommend watching the Korean movie, "inside men". It perfectly sums up the corrupted relationship between the government, the big corps, the media, the police and justice system. That is why the men on her lists were never being investigated.
Mexico is the same but like 10 times worst on corruption, the cartels run the country
Oh so similar to India. If the people who committed crimes have a lot of money, connections etc they will mostly be fine... no jail time
Many will be murdered but the police will say it's suicide 😂
@@SangitA I agree with you, I am also from India
@@rashmi4565 it's almost like evil wins everywhere.. I am tired of this world

But Seungri wasnt involved in this.. please dont spread false news 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This has nothing to do Seungri, this video is an example of poor journalism. Wrong information and misleading content.
Nope
Truthhh
This is why Korea is not that fairytale land that you expect it to be--like in Kdramas. Just like any other country, it has its dark side.
I mean not all Korean dramas are portrayed as fairytales, a lot of Korean dramas actually try to bring light on corruption in different sectors such as the government, police, etc. Although they’re not as realistic, it does help bring a small perspective as to what it may actually be like
💯💯💯💯💯
who the hell would think Korea is a 'fairytale land'?!!!
@@anewdream1 Indeed, though I'm not saying all kdramas are lighthearted, usually people are highly invested in romance or comedy type of kdrama hence my previous statement. But kdramas of today improved compared ten years ago or so--in terms of its themes
Yeah even on webtoons. Lookism is a great one, as well as uncanny counter on Netflix. It reminds me of lookism
“Bring me zombies “ I’m not easily rattled by much but that made me shudder...

Kim sangkyo wasn't helping/saving a women from being sexually harassed..
He WAS the one harassing her.
THATS why he got dragged out.
To save his face he created this mess.. even tricked his close friends to lie..
And his friends have come out to say that KSK made them lie..
Stop painting that liar as a hero.
TELL EM 🤞
hmm has this come out your source?
Source bruh?
Why is it the sexually harassed girls workers of the club? This so called MDs are the one who is part of the club. They are in on it. And also doesn't hide the fact that this club indeed had drugs, and illegal sexual activities.
Thank you! Say it louder for everyone who just jump on the hate bandwagon and don't even try to look for the most recent news update about the trials.
What is sad is that spy cams are really common in Korea. You can find them everywhere in public bathrooms, hotel rooms... It's one of the reasons why i am hesitant ever visiting the country
That's why every single screw head in public bathroom stalls is colgged with a piece of toilet papper(spycams hidden in screwheads are most common). Korean girls we gotta protect ourselves by shoving a piece of tp

JJY is one of the actual criminals and his sentence was reduced to less than a year! yet people still think seungri is guilty when he never even had any assult charges
Because people are focusing on seungri who has nothing to do with case

@Nifty Spark what does that have to do with my comment
You are right . This should go international
@@backoff9164 I agree
If this was an actual scandal with actual victims, there should be reason for outrage. But it's a made up scandal with no victims. None that is except the superstar people like this Aria person use to make a few cheap bucks.
Not true... We were very upset over this. The reason it got the attention it did was partially due to Knetizens speaking out about it and spreading the news. I have no idea how and why you even came to that conclusion. It kind of sounds like you're making us out to be some kind of delusional and crazy people, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't say these kinds of things.
It’s honestly sad that a random fan on Twitter conducts better journalistic research than the ones that are supposed to be actual “journalists”.
"Imagine a ring of sexual harassment" well have you heard of Hollywood?

As disgusting as the Burning Sun scandal is, the Weinstein scandal is far worse given the involvement of minors
Oh dude It not just sex trafficking, it’s murders/manslauter too. Theirs a reason why sex workers have a dangerous job.
@@sunnykwak4384 but burning sun had minors involved as well
@@yung1717 it did not have minors involved. In fact if you read actual Korean sources you find there was no sex trafficking in the burning sun scandal. That tidbit is fake and based off of a tweet from a 13 year old @silkyloona who apologized for that misinformed tweet. No women have come forward or were found to have been sex trafficked out of burning sun or otherwise. In fact the so called whistle blower, Kim Sang Kyo, has 4 charges of sexual harassment 3 of which he’s currently being tried for. This video is full of misleading accusations that came from allkpoop with no credible Korean sources sited
this is why im so scared to travel as a young girl. i have to worry about locking my hotel room right, making sure the place isnt shady, having enough money, keeping pepperspray on hand and now this. this is genuinely one of my biggest nightmares. like can u imagine how terrifying it would be to recognize yourself or somewhere uve been on one of these sights, and then suddenly think back to how so many ppl have been Paying to watch your privacy being invaded. yikes
uh ofc u need to lock ur hotel room lol we all do that lmao
I understand. I travel alone, 99% of the time. You have to trust yourself. Get you some hands before you travel. And you'll know if something is wrong when you feel it! Don't let fear stop you from travelling, and enjoying your trips; and stay ready, so you never have to get ready.

I’m going to quote Pliny the Elder here: “Fortune favors the bold.” This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful or reckless, but I think if you spend too much time worrying about the “what ifs” you’ll never get to have great experiences. Always make sure your safe and be aware of your surroundings. If you feel it’s necessary, take some self defense classes. However, I think you’ll find that most people you meet in life are potential friends and not the monsters we hear about on Buzzfeed Unsolved. I know it’s scary out there sometimes, but I think you have the courage to face it.
Try to find like a travel group. I think it is more safer and fun if you do that
It's safer than US
the quote from the woman at the end broke my heart, it hurts to know that there was no justice for her
the Kpop industry is beyond salvation at this point. A complete revamp in how they should manage their talents needs to be carried out, while Kpop fans really need to reflect on their obsessive behaviour that are doing more harm than good.
Do you really think this is a solution? Are we getting angels to manage it too, how about some unicorns. There will always be sleaze men or women who just because they can they will. The problem starts with parents too poor who see their kids as their way out, they put their little kids in the hands of managers and agencies. The kids are abused, they hardly see their parents so they are abused by these managers and then they become too rich and powerful themselves with no real instruction or manners and they become abusers too. On the other hand there will always be bad people, among 7 of a group one is a bad seed, it is impossible to get only good ones. Are we getting rid of them too and prevent them from singing? Or is it just another fantasy.
Girl, we've been following this industry for a long time, the kids nowadays are making it worse.
@@Lupita311 go home. go home.
In my opinion it's not just the kpop industry, any kind of entertainment industry is this toxic.

right, like beyond the k industry, beyond hollywood. all these people with money and power are just sketchy as hell. it never surprises me when crap like weinstein or burning sun come to surface. and i think it says something about human psychology. when a person has an overabundance of their needs met, their soul becomes corrupt, and their morals disregarded.
Justice for all the women, the true victims here.
The only victims..
@@lwc2349 the only victims in this video/case at the hands of men, yes
gave me the chills. I've been into kdramas (not so much kpop) since nearly 10 years now and its exactly for the reason most people are: it seems like a "perfect happy place." But we often forget the darkest place is in fact right underneath the candle. May all the victims get justice for the horrible things that were done to them.
PLEASE DO THE Nth ROOM !!! It is very important and more people should be aware of it, it is for the better.
Truly twisted crimes
I agree to this!! I hope they cover this!
@@sniperfield3995 - To make a long story very short. In South Korea, cyber sex trafficking crimes have been uncovered that took place on the chat app Telegram. Women and girls, the youngest being in elematary school I believe, were coersed or tricked into performing sexual explotative videos for those who payed to be in those rooms. Each room having a specific prize and they were not cheap.
The vids can only be descried as torure porn honestly. There are many details on what was filmed, like one who had to carve the name of a payer in her arm or one who had to penetrate herself with scissors. This entire thing is beyond vile.
Here are a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/dkdbrb20TMo/v-deo.html
Yeah. Also because big names in Korea were involved so it was hidden under the rug pretty fast
@@shaniceabdou910 jesus... i cant even fathom how awful that would be to go through. poor girls
I agree That whole situation was really disturbing
How desperate do you have to be to spy on someone to get off? Really?
the thing is that it's not only idols. It is extremely common for motels and public bathrooms and stuff to have spy cams in Korea. They are way too common.
@@dontknowhersry1214 Yeah, it truly disgusts me.
@@dontknowhersry1214 woah...😳
I don't think it's desperation. It's just a perversion -the fact that you're doing something you're not supposed to do. Honestly, porn is ruining a lot of people, and too many more are suffering from it.
Welcome to anime
This is so so sad how that poor girl didn't even get justice after her death . This is literally ridiculous ! Korea needs to at least take these things more serious than their favorite idols' comebacks
Damn out of all the scandals.. this has got to be the worst scandal. This is so disturbing and shocking.
Not even by far. Maybe in terms of idol scandals but the Nth room scandal is so scary and not a lot of people know about it. I would implore you to look at it because it is simply crazy and terrifying.
Jung Joon Young’s molka chat group isn’t related to “Burning Sun” scandal. It is a different case.
The fact that he made a full video without knowing this important information 💀
Not really :/
Debbie I Yes it is a different case. The molka chats happened in 2015-2016. Burning sun opened in 2018.
I think he didn't research completely or correctly these cases. Just read a few articles and did this video
That's like the no. 1 indicator for those who didn't read the case thoroughly. Aside from different timeline, they don't have any connection at all.
As sad as it sounds, being a woman is dangerous everywhere... is horrible to think you would never going to get away from the feeling of insecurity no matter where you go. For all sisters out there, stay safe and let’s protect each other.

yes, so important to stick together in a world where they pit us women against each other 💗
Its horrible for men and women. Boys and girls.
This is why I hate my body. I don't like being female. I don't want that...
Just six years? Wow. They ruined many womens lives, but only gets six years? Wth!
i remember when older gg members would tell younger gg members to be careful with certain bg members. like that’s honestly sad.
Sorry if I mispronounced any Korean names, I tried as best I could! Thanks for watching, and hopefully you found this video illuminating. I’ve been wanting to dive into the dark side of K-pop for a long time - there’s a lot more to unpack, so let me know if you’d be interested in seeing me explore it further in the future. EDIT: Whoops, I'm now getting a ton of angry tweets from fans of the K-pop stars involved in this crime. Wild to see people defending them. Thanks to any K-pop fans out there who have been understanding of my coverage of this case!
WE LOVE YOU ARIA!!!! You inspire me to put my all into every project I do, especially loved your exploration of the IRL livestreaming community.
Thank you so much for making this! There’s a lot of dark things going on behind the scenes of kpop studios and management companies that people don’t talk about
Hell yeah we are in it with you as our guide Aria
Thank you for covering this, and making it more known for people to be aware. What they did was wrong and people shld know
Please look into what happened with TVXQ
The man ,Kim sangkyo, that you are making a hero is a man with 4 sexual assault charges against him.
This man is taking revenge on the club because they kicked him out for harassing a female customer/guest.
He refused to leave and when the police got involved he assaulted the police officer.
All of which were caught on CCTV.
Do some research.
When SR sister is so smart to release the CCTV in public so we can see how this KIM SANG KYO assaulted a girl in the club and even fighting with the police when they were arresting him
Well said

My heart breaks for Jang Jayeon. She suffered so much, for so long and when she tried to get justicy, even trading her life for it, she was ignored even when she explained with detail and evidence everything that happend, naming all the ones involved.

A simple rumor can destroy a kpop, how would you get justice uf the citizens itself is judgmental. Instead of investigating people would add to the torture.
Wow! Good job for the accuracy. If I didnt know anything about this, I would have actually believed you.

He is not the owner he was only the dj... Literally there are so many misunderstandings in this video... It’s so sick people still using him for clout......
He doesn’t know anything. The real owners themselves said that seungri wasn’t the owner. he was in charge of promotion just that, he’s not involved in making decisions. Another thing is BS was already cleared by the police in 2019.

Exactly full of misinformations

speaking of sex crimes in korea, we have about two days before goo hara's case closes for good and her ex boyfriend can walk free as an abuser whilst she will never be able to rest. i don't have the link right now but there are govt petitions you can sign to try and stop this
My ex-boyfriend who was from South Korea actually showed me the sex video of Jung Joon-Young.

I didn’t even realize how big the scandal got until I watched this video and heard more about Seungri being involved as well. Talk about triggering and crazy!
This huge scandal opened my eyes on who to idolized. It actually make me realize that korea is just as dark as every countries are.. when i admire songs on kpop now, i only like the songs or the dramas but not too attached of the actors or performers like before.

@@jesusespinoza8467 they said it themselves.
@@jesusespinoza8467 Go to Google and type in 'SBS FunE admits to editing chats' and see what comes up. It's really that easy and yet these 'experienced' researchers completely missed it.
As a woman and human being, it’s important to me when sexual abuse conducts and crimes get uncovered and discussed. But as a lawyer, I see very wrongly to misrepresent facts. This video has a lot of incorrect or omitted facts, for example Kim Sang Kyo, the guy “that started it all” not only was indicted in 3 cases of sexual harassment, his account of being “defending a woman who was being abused” was false and the policemen that arrested him that night were found not responsible of police brutality.
Also, Seungri’s case is subjudice so presumption of innocence applies and should be respected. He has never been accused of any kind of sexual abuse, harassment or “molka”. The only charge related is described as sharing a picture of naked women’s backs that was a promotion for a club, not taken by him and even less without consent.
To make him the center image of your video, even as you talk about convicted sexual offenders like JJY and CJH, not only is a misrepresentation, could be considered defamation.
Lastly but not least, to present audio of “a friend” stating his personal opinion without any type of hard evidence but only feelings and speculation is not only bad shape as journalism, in reality doesn’t mean anything.

I've always had a bad feeling about K-pop. They take these young kids, and basically turn them into marionette dolls that they can control in every way - and everyone is just apathetic about it. I wouldn't be surprised if every single female k-pop star has been sexually assaulted. Breaks my heart. We went from Gangnam Style with Psy to this.
Oh trust me KPOP has always been very dark-sided, Psy isn't innocent either he's debuting a 12 year old for his upcoming boy group.
That's sick. Makes me nauseous 🤢
Did you even make an attempt to follow seungri's case AT ALL....?
You clearly didn’t
Of course he didn't. He just wanted clout. That's what Journalism is about nowadays.
Seungri was NEVER accused of raped/sexual assault. And seungri wasn't in Molka GC
Jung Joon-young & Choi Jong-hoon and others in molka chats have been accused.
That doesn't make sense. Literally EVERY article I read, even Korean ones, say that they charged Seungri with prostitution and/or sexual assault. There was one article that says Seungri doesn't know why there was messages of him talking about that/being involved in that, which also doesn't make sense. Evidence doesn't lie. How can you all believe that he could be innocent despite the lack of evidence to defend his innocence? Not trying to fight, just saying, that Korea's news/media is always easily influenced by money and shown time and time again to bring "scandals" (outright crimes) to a down low. How can you all believe Korean media so easily when the whole country is proven to defend the rich and keep severe crimes from getting national attention? (Just saying Korean media because that seems to be the "source" that everyone is referring to)
@@amymarrin5630 Listen to your own words. You are a victim of the media without realizing it. We have witness statements to prove he was unrelated. he was never accused sexual assault - just prostitution mediation which got cleared just 4 days ago.
@@amymarrin5630 @Amy Marrin none of Seungri's charges are for SA..
There is one for solicitation of prostitution for foreign investors.. and that case is still on going.
In fact the trial just happened a few days ago. 3 witnesses have said the seungri wasn't involved. Even the prosecution's witness said that. Yoo inseok, seungri's business partner, admitted to be the one that did the solicitation. Even the prostitutes themselves said seungri was unaware.
We aren't believing media, we are believing the court documents and witness statements.
As for the SA allegations the victim herself said seungri wasnt there. She named her attackers.. and seungri was not one of them..
We are believing a victim.. not k media.
Seungri's case is still ongoing.. and evidences and witness statements are coming out.. and as these keep being revealed it is more apparent that kmedia used seungri's name to get clicks.
@@amymarrin5630 "Literally EVERY article I read, even Korean ones, say that they charged Seungri with prostitution and/or sexual assault."
Well your source are wrong. He is not getting charge with sexual assault. It was never his charge. But he has charges of soliciting prostitution.
But all 3 women/prostitutes all said that it was Yoo In Suk (Seungri business partner) that called for them and payed.
Yoo In Suk himself have been saying that Seungri was not involved since day one.
One women said that she was called at Seungri’s house and think that it is possible that Seungri didn’t know that she was a prostitute.
Another women said that she was called at Seungri’s house but doesn’t recale seing Seungri.
Another one, only mentioned Yoo In Suk and never mentioned Seungri’s house or him.
Another witness, a man, said that he always only received orders to call prostitutes by Yoo In Suk.
Also mind you all the witness were called by the prosecution team, so they were supposed to testify against Seungri but all their testimonies says that Seungri wasn't involved. You could say they could have lied but they were under oath and if you lie under oath you can be charge. Why would they risk it?
"There was one article that says Seungri doesn't know why there was messages of him talking about that/being involved in that, which also doesn't make sense."
What do you mean?
"How can you all believe that he could be innocent despite the lack of evidence to defend his innocence?"
"Not trying to fight, just saying, that Korea's news/media is always easily influenced by money and shown time and time again to bring "scandals" (outright crimes) to a down low."
You really think he is paying the media even tho they are accusing him of every crime in the book and making misleading headlines?
It's so weird seeing Seungri's face with that title lol they just had their fourth trial on Dec. 9 and even the called witness apologized to Seungri because of the misunderstandings. Please check your facts and update them this is very misleading :::((

honestly, the abusers didnt get enough time. the victims deserve better.
In Hindi, we call this "TATTI JOURNALISM".
Using assumptions and opinions of random other tabloid journalists as source, mixing multiple cases, believing everything on social media, not checking facts or trial documents released by court, not waiting for trials to end, defaming people without realising consequences, not rechecking the sources, disregarding 5k comments on your page to look for the truth.
I will only say that witnesses claimed that SeungRi was never involved, and truly powerful people were punished. Anything else?
I believe it's two different cases that he mixed together. Seungri wasn't involved in the JJY group chat case.
@@Chispy1316 I don't think there are enough things to consider yet to know if he is guilty or not of that. The truth is that at the moment everything suggests that he is innocent, and I want to believe that. If I end up being a clown, I can see that I was wrong, but it's unprofessional to misinform when he have a big influence.
@@Valeria-dn9mn yea but this video does a bad job explaining everything
@@jiovannyzavala294 yeah, everything is so mixed up and everyone put Seungri in the front as the worst person who did all crimes... easy pray or something. If he did something bad, he will be punished, but don't blame for all stuff which did others
@@jiovannyzavala294 That's my main complaint, how badly everything is explained. This video is most mistaken.
In case you don't know
The Molka and burning sun scandals aren't the same
Jjy is the face of the scandal you should have put him he is the one who made that Molka
And seungri isn't the owner of burning sun scandal
Pls get your facts straight
They changed thumbnail now after the controversy still the video includes many misinformations
AK Antony u saying “controversy” like they cnn or sumn🤣🤣 dont nobody care about kpop or buzzfeed unsolved that much😳 especially when it isnt ryan and shane
@@Breesh2x it's still disrespectful, imagine seeing such a video about you were they are literally attacking you for things you haven't even done.
This is completely disgusting.
Also there are enough people who care about kpop or buzzfeed unsolved that much ;)
Kpop stans stay kpop stanning 👎👎👎👎
And those kpop idols still have fans 🤮🤮🤮 Fans denying the truth, some people are too horrible
Remember. Unless. It happens to them or someone they know and love. Some fans won’t care. I am sure if someone was to say a member of BTS did this to them. Majority would not believe. When someone loves a celebrity. Unless there is proof that can not be denied or a confession from the abuser. Their favourite celebrity can’t do no wrong in their eyes.
Thank you for bringing this to light again, it definitely needs to be addressed way more.
ANY OUTDATED AND FALSE INFORMATION DOESN'T MAKE THIS DOCUMENTARY CREDIBLE NOR ENLIGHTENING. IT ONLY THROWS SHADE AND IS PURELY MADE TO HATE ON A PERSON THAT WASN'T INVOLVE WHILE HE TRIES TO COVERS FOR THE PERSON THAT SHOULD BE JAILED.
HE'S PURELY JUST HATING, SO HIS SO-CALLED RESEARCH IS NOT CREDIBLE.
not defending anyone but wasn’t molka a whole different scandal
It is different. It's very unfortunate that many people can't differentiate it due to all media reporting it as the same. During an interview, even the lawyer who bring BS case out to light was frustrated with the media. Now that everything came to light that nothing really big actually happened, that lawyer suddenly wasn't in the picture anymore. I don't see him going on interviews talking about the case again after BS was investigated and cleared(only found drug abused by the employee but they didn't supply drugs to people). This video was made based from information given out back in 2019 but left out a big part of details where some of the investigations already ended. Even recently MBC posted a correction about an article they wrote back in Feb 2019 stating Burning Sun CEO delivered 20mil won to police and 300k won to the clubs team members. They say that the information is not confirmed. I hope Buzzfeed think clearly about their source back in 2019 and check k if any corrections had been done before posting this because many English news were made based on Korean news that were translated and Korean news are edited all the time.
The source they cited for this video also included Billboard which I took time to read back in 2019 and found that they actually never mentioned many things this so call journalist said in this video and his replies to other people.
Yeah . They just lumped it into the same thing
Yeah, the whole video is an entire lack on information...

Looks like the thumbnail was changed. It doesn't hide the fact that you're content is misleading and irrelevant given how outdated your infos are.
This is very misleading. Please check your sources. Seungri didn't own BS and isn't part of the molka chat. Also, you mixed up a lot of cases (BS, molka chats...)
Exactly. They are going to get sued. The police came out and said Seungri did not own the club and was not part of the scandal. He volunteered to go under investigation to clear his name.
just report this video
@@pepesylvia9354 A new video has been uploaded about this. Do you who is the main criminal,that man named seungri

Taxi Driver 2 brought me here
Seungri never had a clean image

???? when did he do that
@@afallingstarfell did you not see the thumbnail?
@@afallingstarfell JJY and CJH who's now in jail are the one who committed the crime, Seungri is not involved in Molka Chats and BS scandal ,he's already cleared on that last year but seems like Aria's team made a poor research about the case.

Nah guys, TBH you will be highly appreciated if u use your platform to spread the current situation.
You upload it the day/ the next day after his birthday. what a great birthday present :)
Current situation?
Don't be shy - drop your bibliography of sources. Where did your "talented team of researchers" get all this seungri info from?
I would like it too to see his research team's bibliography.

YES PLEASE!!!!

Seungri was CLEARD of all involvement of the Molka Chat case, those who were involved ( JJY & CJH ) have already been sentenced.
The burning Sun case, has also already cleared Seungri of involvement.
His CURRENT case deals with a business partner who prostituted women at ones of his birthday parties. And so far NO VICTIMS have named Seungri as having any involvement.
The trials are happening now on it.
You hadn't even bothered trying to fact check or get updated info on his story.

Changing the thumbnail doesn't change the misleading information in the video. Delete it, do your research and do it better.
One of his sources is from SBS FunE. Lol FYI they publicly admitted that they manipulated the chats and articles.

They changed it now after the controversy still the video includes many misinformations
I think it's just an overview of what happened. Bring some light into it. There's a lot of information about. It could have been a 1 hour+ video
1. Seungri was only a shareholder of Burning Sun (8%) - not the CEO
2. Seungri is not in Molka GC
What's difficult to understand here
when we say south korea we think about bts blackpink but after hearing this i am like really
bro why using picture that proven innocent, and spreading false information and u just read the wrong article

Hi, Seungri was proven innocent, even the victims said that Seungri was not involved... I just wanted to say that this video is full of misinformation... the real criminals are JJY and CJH... Seungri was not involved in the molka chats and he was only the dj in this club... but because he was the most famous in this damn scandal they were and still using him for clout!
@@LinaSty oh please. He was most def involved. LOL, kpop stans will forever defend their perfect idols regardless what they were put through.

Whenever any young woman say "I want to go to the entertainment industry", I just reply "The Rapertainmnent industry?"
I really enjoyed the video, but then I read the comments. I didn't really know anything about the case going in, so the video easily tricked me. But then again, what did I expect from Buzzfeed. If the comments are right about all the misinformation, then get this trash off of buzzfeed unsolved (the one good part of buzzfeed).
You can go watch what this korean lawyer have to said about this Buzzfeed video: ua-cam.com/video/2zo8xjPDgXY/v-deo.html
There is a reason why people upset about this video. Its not about kpop idol anymore. Its about misinformation and defamation.

Don't be a sheep. All these girls are idolizing k-pop artists that were sexual predators just because they're pretty. Hold your own opinion.
This video is full of misleading information! You should have done a better research!!!
This is disgusting and they get what's coming, I'm glad you guys covered this.
Only 6 years though. That's nothing.
Didn’t some not get time? Like they weren’t convicted.
The case is closed and ended last year all that where part of the mulka chat are in jail. Seungri wasn't part of the mulka chat nor did he facilitated prostitution. The only case open against him is a Gambling case for his gambling in las Vegas.
@anonymous yt yes ofc spill the tea...
That sounded kinda disregarding of the issue oops
My heart breaks for every victim and oh man, that last lady's words, worried about being blamed for her assault...oh my gosh, I'm so disgusted, I'm so mad she felt that way.
I cannot believe how many young fangirls are actually defending these monsters in comments, even giving different links to prove how this accused are innocents. Maybe one of the reason, this crime been happening a lot in that country is because how blinded you are by dazzle of k-pop artists. They were normal people before getting fame, normal people with nasty desires and now they are getting advantage since they are celebrities. Don't defend them, you guys are brainwashed and it's terrifying.
BuzzFeed's gotta take this down man, the misinformation- yeesh....
What's the misinformation?
@@japanesemyth Seungri wasn’t involved. SBS admitted to falsifying evidence when they broke the case. The police issued a statement that Seungri wasn’t involved in the Molka chats. He was also never arrested. Two separate judges denied an arrest warrant. I never thought Buzzfeed would publish something so blatantly false.
You wish they would. Political correctness and the law on Buzzfeeds side always triumph above weak online bully activism like yours.
Why would people prefer to believe assumptions when talking about Seungri?
Do you believe in seungri facts or just believe in what the media made you believe?
Most of the facts presented by the Korean media were based on assumptions and confused the name of seung Hyun, royal owner of Burning sun, with that of seungri, dj and small shareholder....
Reading that name everyone assumed it was Seungri, the singer, not the real owner.
And most of what the press pulled out, it was enough to upset you
He co-owns 20% of the club where this took place? His former business partner pleas guilty to all charges? How disappointed fans must be...
@@r3sianon975 we're not cause the club was cleared since last year clown, as well as him.
@@r3sianon975 He owns 8% through Yuri holdings*.

The case when sexual harasser Kim Sangkyo accused the club of those things when they called police on him for harassing women on club(there is CCTV footage of this) and there are text msgs of him threatening to destroy the omage of the club using Seungri because he is the most prominent public figure
Kim Sangkyo has victims and women accusing him but ppl chose to believe his made up story and now his victims still demand justice but are overshadowed by the public focusing on wrong people
The club was investigated thoroughly and nothing was found and this case ended in 2019 but the outcome didn't make news as much as the lies did

@@yukijames1321 He was in a group chat made for a restaurant business. And a video was sent there. From what the court document says, it was of a consensual intercourse but filmed without consent. Seungri then told them to not do those kind of thing.
After that from your moral you can decide.
He didn’t consent to receiving that and there’s just so much you can do.
Also in 2016, JJY’s girlfriend reported him for filming her during intercourses (only the victim can report, it seems). And JJY lied that he filmed it with her consent and the girlfriend dropped the charges and got shamed. It is really sad.
