Disgusting

'Tis Indeed sick if these men were filming women without consent, and they should be rightfully fired and charged with any relevant crimes. It is unforgivable. That said, it's not a "K-pop" problem, it's a problem with these idiots, same as all the people here, there, and everywhere that do it to the point where governments have had to create new laws (including for "revenge porn").

"Korea's K-Pop scene is going through a sex, drugs, and pornography scandal that has lowered the bar even by the genre's infamously dismal standards.

K-Pop has a 30-year history of serious wrongdoings, including allegations of sex-tape blackmailing, affairs, secret marriages, suicide, drugs, and physical abuse."

Sounds like a "k-pop" problem.

Hmmmmm...... Surprise surprise, showbiz is a bit of a morally hazardous environment. Worldwide.

Who would have thought that the squeaky clean K=pop idols are also a bit dodgy?

In 2016, Jung was charged with filming a video with a sexual partner without her consent and knowledge, but prosecutors dropped the case for lack of evidence after she withdrew her accusation.

In a case like that, if there is other evidence besides the victim's accusation, they should prosecute the suspect anyway.

I'm guessing she "withdrew her accusation" because he (or his agency) paid her off.

That should not be allowed. It only allows the rich and famous to buy their way out of trouble.

You are just being sarcastic, right? Jang Ja Yeon‘s death was very shocking scandal and I believe it’s only a tip of the iceberg.
