The Burning Sun Scandal
lIKE i said read about it, everyone involved from this were cut out and removed no one had the courtesy of letting them "STEP DOWN" most are in jail and forgetten. Seungri career is done so is Jung Joon-young's too.
Literally no one said yay, they are innocent, and is a f'ed up thing and although involving Kpop personalities is something that is not related to the industry apart from the connections.
Park Yoo-Chun Assault/Drug Allegations
He was cleared of the charges, but still his career ended and the public did not support him, siding with the accusers. The drug sentencing is unrelated to anything other than his person, and although I don't use them, SK laws are way harsher that other countries and drugs in general are a controversial topic. Like T.O.P smoking weed, something that in USA would not be even news.
Death of Son Ho-Young’s Girlfriend
This is a sensible topic that involves suicide, so people should let people free and have their family privacy. Mental health is something that affects all people and is not related to kpop, or any other business in particular.
Dahee Tries to Blackmail Lee Byung-hun
She was kicked out the second this happened, and the only reason she didn't do jail was because the victim decided to not press charges. She took advantage of hooking up with a married man, and he is at fault for this situation too.
Kangin Hit and Run Incident
You should never drink and drive, but this was just a DUI. Something that again would not be that controversial in other places. No one was hurt from this.
The Bullying of Mina by Jimin
The AOA bullying saga was a turning point for most, and as more information was available the tables turned and it was proven that Mina was at fault and was to some degree the actual bully.
The Kpop idol bullying scandal of 2021, we can talk about that if you want.
The Bullying of Lee Hyunjoo by APRIL members
April has always been controversial and the group is already disbanded, this really affected how the public saw them and their career went downhill from that, and the nazi photo...
Daesung’s Car Accident
He was cleared of it and a previous crashed occurred before that. The other drivers was dui, with .186 alcohol. levels.
Want to talk of the real scandals.
The slave contracts, the exploitation of idols, the sexualization of minors. yes thats the ugly part of Kpop and one that mosts fans are trying to fight against.
Like I said Kpop is not perfect, but what you pointed out are scandals contained to a group of individuals and not the general of Kpop. Unlike Vince that was the one controlling everything in WWE.
