Guys, once again thank you so much for watching my videos and subscribing! It feels good to know that I am being informative to you guys. When I was filming this video, Zico didn't make any public statements yet, but when I finished editing it, I made a final check of the situation and found his public statement. So I included his statement in it with a translation. Please don't skip that part and read through it! Thanks again! If you are new, please subscribe and I will keep updating you on issues regarding K-Pop and Korea in general.
pks check also.. its abiut burning sun..drug involed.....dealing drug....in high club.. i police deid....ing gangnam police...... politician and big police in gngnam is a shield.... its hot in tweeter
The issue discuss in this video just a mild surface to the depths of what Seungri involved himself wth. Plus the extent of this issues may even involved politicians, chaebol n administrative officer.
Firstly when this all thing about seungri oppa are on the news i dont take it seriously but when its suddenly involving joon young oppa then i start to put attention to this scandal n turn out that joon young oppa were the one having sex filmed it without consent n share it to his friends....im heartbroken....
Don’t, I am sure Korean women are used to it. I feel bad for women in Korea they are treated as puppets, maids, dolls, and slaves. Most men in Korea have fragile masculinity and they think treating women abusively is manly
i absolutely DO NOT want to know the names of the victims unless they choose to speak out but i want every person involved in the filming and sharing of those videos to be put on BLAST
@@jeydkabigas5193 JJY has always had the opposite of an innocent immage, he's very rough and crude but I thought he was smarter than this, especially after he had the same exact problem a few years ago. I loved him SOOOOOO much because of his "I don't give a f" attitude and love 2days1night with my whole heart. I hope they don't stop the show but I don't mind if they remove him, he already had a chance and "we" believed him then. I'm always standing beside the victims not matter how much I love the perpetrator/s...
‘The only thing we didn’t do is murder’ that made my skin crawl. These men are depraved monsters who don’t deserve to see the light of day again. I hope that they are all sentenced to long, long years in prison.
Not only celebrities even the common people have to be reveal too. it's a crime and so humiliating women. Actually I'm also broken hearted JJY was my favorite TV persona even though he marks as bad boy or playboy etc but this rape chat was so unacceptable is truly crime...💔💔💔💔😿
I wanna know who that person is who said that it’s like a movie story how they’ve done so much bad stuff except murder. Making women fall asleep then raping them is super wicked... breaks my heart.. im in college & I don’t even ever wish it to happen to people in college campus or dorms or parties! Protect yourself! Always carry pepper spray! my heart breaks for sexual abuse because it can mess up an individual for a lifetime. You are worth so much more & made for so much more ! Sorry how us boys were raised by pornography... men are not men but boys if they act like this.. it takes a total makeover of our nature. I thank God for changing my heart/spiritual change. If it wasn’t for a higher power really... I’d still be the same, I might just find this news funny.. i might be just like these men in this chat if I had the money & power. Sad world
Damn. That kakaotalk messages is scary af. Its gonna be really rough for JJY family since his family is known to the public from appearing on 2d1n. His mother must be so brokenhearted right now.
She raised him, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This man's moral compass is absent, I am a firm believer that stuff like that comes from how you were raised. His mother and father raised someone who has no regard for other people's dignity and safety...a rapist.
Gaileth exactly.. being absent from his life is indeed his parents fault.. that is literally their fault.. not there to correct his behaviour and teaching him moral values and respecting others.. just because they were absent it doesn’t mean they are fault-free.. hence the importance of parents being there educating their children when growing up..
i feel bad for the people who were close to them who didnt know what was going on. its scary knowing that sometimes you may not really know someone youre close to.
@@SilentKiller-td1hj there is no clear evidence that zico is guilty, there is only speculation since they are close friends. i hope that hes not guilty but its not my place to say whether he is guilty or not
Disgusting. This reminds me so much a case that occurred in my country (Spain) not too much time ago, it was called "Manada case", a group of boys that raped a girl at a Spanish festival and then talked about it through their group chat, having the time of their lives while she was suffering. For real, I think is not just a problem of toxic men who don't respect women, I think this kind of people just don't respect other human beings, like how can you feel pleasure hurting someone, how can you make fun of them, I just can't understand it. For real. Sometimes I really hate humans.
Same here sometime it feels like it's a punishment to be born as a human where humanity is just a word . All these acts,crime not just crime related to sex ....humans have just crossed the line of sanity 😔
There's also a case similar and it happened in Japan a long time ago. I heard this in the past : Junko Furuta was her name. It was really brutal and they murdered her after.
@@ShilohIsMyName That case was just too fucked up. I've read about it and it made my stomach turn. The poor girl was treated worse than an animal. Those cruel fuckers are despicable and will remain unforgivable.
One thing for sure those female celebrities are gonna get a lot of hate for no reason at all and I still see so many fan girls still rooting for their oppa ,imagine being a average guy who did this by the time he would be rotting in jail.People need to at least care for the victims.
@@febbysapulete Because Asian are raised not to go around having sex before marriage. And if you do, don't ask don't tell. It's not judgemental or oppresive. Same as don't drink and drive. If you still do and nothing happen, good for you. But, if you hit someone for example, then you're just asking for it.
Anny's World but still I hope they won’t let those names out in public even after proven to be victims . Because they will recieve lots of hate from knets , even though they are the victims , people are gonna blame them and call out on them for doing such stuffs .
It upsets me how they can just casually talk about raping someone and just play it as a laughing matter like where is your humanity where is your conscience to do that to a person and laugh about it utterly disturbing
@@ALBUMOF2008 I agree. This is what happens when you take porn too seriously. I have heard of so many cases when men actually thought women like being taken advantage of like wtf
Y O U BetTEr StOP it actually is his club. He mentioned in an interview “I’m not just the celebrity face of these businesses because if so, they won’t take me seriously. So I am actively participating in the management of the businesses.”
Omg! I hope the female celebrities will not expose to the public. because.. 1. they are the victims. 2. the people will bash her/them 3. there some posibility to kill them or suicide because of shame
Regardless of what you believe, I think we all need to remember: this has gone BEYOND fandoms and fanwars. It's a very real-life situation with many people involved and hurt, and I don't really think you can pick sides just based on whether your stan BigBang or not (or based on who you stan/support). This is no longer a kpop thing, keep your fandoms and faves out of it
Agree, I feel like this just isn't the place for fans and antis to be fighting, this is more than just idols and role models anymore .. there are actual people getting hurt and taken advantage of...
When i praised kpop artists to my friend she respons me "u dont know them personally dont fall for their pretty faces u dont know what theyre doing behind cam" i defended them but now ☹☹☹
@@leo6659 It's for the better that people don't know so they wont face prejudice and can move on more easily without the entire country knowing what they went through.People won't stare at them in the streets you know? As long as the guys pay for what they did I think they'll be happy with that
Has that "B" guy been named yet?? That man is just plain monstrous like the others who thought raping women is a sport. And to that man who said 'they've done a lot they could go to jail for' that is so saddening tbh. I got a feeling he's feeling guilty even just a bit and yet....he still didn't subdue his friends 😔
Maybe Mr. B got in too deep to back out of their clique. Maybe these people thought they were powerful and handsome enough to justify their heinous acts and assume that all women should fall over them. Hopefully all people involved in this series of crimes committed be exposed and accordingly punished and that justice be served for all the victims.
Probably some politician, or policemen, or their sons ?? Who knows. Cant believe they are not releasing that name, it is so clear that he is part of it and enjoying every minute of it. Why SR have to take all blame ?
@@sappysappy6763 wth really??? i'm not an army but dragging BTS is so stupid, like the group works nonstop and they're all kind ppl. smh haters say whatver 🙄
The one thing that pops in my mind is the poor park boom scandal. I mean (what I remember) she was sent (by her own family) a prescription drug that was legal in the states and not in Korea and her family nor her know this couldn't be done. Only for that (a misunderstanding) she was 8 years! Away from the entertainment industry. The ones involved in this mess should have real and severe penalities.
@@georget9640 Reporter kang who brought this matter to public told in an interview tht the victim/s have been hurting themself and trying to commit suicide knowing tht the video was recorded
monsters. They've done it in real life, just don't apologize in public. You're just sorry you got caught. no matter how i reread the chat it's horrifying.
There is no need to focus on JJY. He turned himself in and admitted his crimes and the fact that he is a trash human being. Seungri is still trying to play innocent. Thus, people are going to be focusing on him.
@@tsukipon74 and what if he is innocent, he wouldn't be stupid enough to plead not guilty after this, minimum for him is he wasnt involved but he knew and max well guilty
leo He was in these chats, he was aware of them. That makes him complicit in these crimes. I’ve no doubt his greed got the best of him. Whether he participated in the rapes or not, he’s a criminal for his actions alone.
@@leo6659 after seeing more evidence, the chances that he is innocent are very slim. The question is not if he is Innocent but more along the lines of what is he guilty for.
This whole thing is a mess... We do know the existence of such criminals and crimes but to see it happening in front of our eyes and them being the idols or people that we see on TV..... To think that all the people involved managed to live well without a scratch until now when all the victims are sufferings... Hope for justice to prevail. BTW, if there are other celebrities or public figures involved, they should face the charges equally in regards to the social status or whatsoever...
This is really informative! I came to understand the latest updates from the start until now about this huge issue which is very alarming considering most of them are public figures. Humans are very scary, we all have our dark side but what they did was worst beyond normal people do.. Saddening😔 Anyway, coming directly from a south korean slash our translator👍🏻 Thank you! This is really helpful for us international korean fans🙂
I skipped through the rest of the messages... It makes my stomach churn. It's utterly horrid how they can talk about women like that. I hope the victims find justice and the criminals get their lawful punishment. I hope they can repent over their actions and learn how to treat women, mothers - all human beings with genuine, basic human decency and respect.
guys this is like a movie story. just think about it for 5 minutes. the only thing we didnt do is murder. there was so many things we can go to jail. Iam crying while imagining what have they done to those girls😢
I’m always watching unsolved/true crimes especially from buzzfeed unsolved & bella fiori. Knowing about serial rapists/murderers, sexual predators etc gave me chills. But this, I’m shook. It hits close to home. It made me evaluate, what if my favourite celebrities are not what they seem? Most importantly what if there are more civilians, idols, actresses, actors, even fans & staffs who were victims too? Being sexually assaulted by their own agency, eg. ATEEN. Same goes to the SOPA scandal, both men & women sexually exploited. My heart is breaking for all the victims. But I am even sadder that all I can do is pray & wish for justice
I appreciate that everything is structured on how you explained things (including your previous videos), because news spread fast. You were even able to amend Zico's part. Your videos are very informative, yet very neutral on the whole situation, and I highly respect that. Keep up the good work and hope to see more contents in the future!
I just wanted to bring some light on this topic but did you know there is a petition to bring Seungri back into the kpop industry? Like I’m actually disgusted cause he doesn’t deserve another chance especially after hurting so many people and possibly the careers of others
He won't. At least not this year, YG lost big time on its stock shares and LVMH which is one of their strongest investor was this close to pulling out if nothing was done, hence Seungri being kicked out/"retiring" also Korea literally hates him right now.... it will take years for him to come back ( and after his sentence and time in the military if he has those) and he'll be too old not to mention people will still remember (literally one of the biggest scandal in Korea) so it's very unlikely.
@@aaaaa-zx1fk I think not, dramas take a lot of money to make and advertise, it's reputation depends on the actors and directors. The whole show would die along with the millions of dollars invested in it. No sane guy would hire a criminal
@@aaaaa-zx1fk good luck to him with that, he might need a plastic surgery and a name change but I hope no surgeons will cooperate with him. The worst thing that can happen is him living a peaceful life, walking his dog with kids andna wife after all the shit he'd done. Disgusting
Ugh... I really liked Joonyoung's music... And even his on-screen persona to an extent... It's disappointing to see this and I personally won't give him a second chance because to me as a woman, these things shouldn't be talked about lightly, this is not a matter for mocking, and I'm disappointed in him for doing so.
I'm at loss of words. I really really really liked his personality. His fans must be disappointed in him who followed, loved and supported him from the very beginning. He should pay for what he's done!!!
Thank you for informing us on these information. Those chat conversations disgusted me and honestly it showed the real nature of the people participating this (idol or not). I hope who participated in this sick crime will get their punishment and my hope goes to the victims and their justice.
I really appreciate the effort you take to make this information accessible to people who only speak English (I'm trying to learn Korean but it's slow going). All this feels like a punch in the stomach to me, as someone who trusted Seungri because he was a member of BigBang, and now there's fear that I can't trust G-Dragon or anyone else, even my ultimate bias RM of BTS I'm no longer sure I can trust, and sure, maybe it was stupid to trust them in the first place, but they cultivate a culture of trust and adoration, and Seungri and all the others involved in this have shattered that culture and any groups they may be in. I feel so, so terrible for the women involved because they may be dragged through the mud by some idiots who can't grasp that they can't trust their dear "oppa" anymore. Honestly, I hope that the real victims are never publicized for their own sakes because they do not deserve the inevitable poor treatment they're going to get from over-zealous fans who, yes, are hurting in the same way people like me are, but who took it in the exact wrong direction because they don't want to face the reality of the situation. What makes it worse is that, given the demographics of Kpop fans, most of those defending these monsters outside of Korea will be girls. I'm not a girl but I am AFAB (assigned female at birth), I'm trans (so please no one call me a girl), and the thought that these people I trusted could have done that to me or anyone at all makes me sick.
I feel so sorry for the victims I do hope all the people involved gets the just punishment and also that this will hopefully change things for the better. Thank you so much for helping us understand and informing us. Found you yesterday, I like your informed and levelheaded reporting you got a new subscriber here :)
I always try to see good in people and don't make abrupt assumptions, but this is just bad. Terrifying and disgusting. I don't know how they got to this point but there are no excuses, really :(
The Kakao talk messages are really disgusting 🤧... I hope all the people involved in this scandal get exposed and are punished... No wonder why all the bigbang & seungri fans are feeling betrayed & shocked...also I don't want the names of girl group members who were victims to be published... Media should protect their identity and I hope all the victims get justice 🤞
My fav member of 2d1n is joonyoung, i'm so disappointed to the point i lost my apetite, 2d1n is a part of my life and to see my fav shows member like this is just so hurt... i know how 2d1n members really take care of each other as a family, joonho and donggu must be really shocked with this.. i bet they didn't even know how to interact normally with him again... and for joonyoung i didn't know you were this low, hope you reflect your action and i hope i won't see you anymore on any tv shows... you treat those girls like a property not as human being so don't beg us to treat you as human being...
I'm not excusing any of his actions or even feeling pity for him, but I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. Loving someone, even if it's just an idol, who you genuinely thought was a good person and then having to turn your back on him for horrible things that he did. I can't imagine how I would feel if someone I admired or cared for did that :/
I have a friend who absolutely admires JJY too..his personality on shows are a total 360 to those conversations....i hope he and the others who are involved will be jailed and pay for their crimes..
@@thatarmylove9401 thanks for the support i hope the rest of the member from the kakao group who've been active or passive participated in it got their judgement.. i don't care if they were only in as a viewers the fact that they ignore these girl to be raped and didn't do a shit means they are the same shit as joon young.. and for 2d1n fans hope you guys stay strong also i hope for all YG entertainment artist and stans are stay strong too🙏🙏
Thank you for this update. I’m just watching news now about the current issue. You’re video really help us, us international fans. I already watched you’re videos about this matter. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
This is so horrible. I appreciate you give us valid information. Those chats are disgusting and as a former victim of sexual assault in my past, this makes me so angry that he has the nerve to laugh in the chats about such vile behavior. I hope he’s punished. Those women who have to endure this, I am so sorry.
@@Hihey-hy9he Getting these idol phone number is probably really hard , seeing big names in the contacts might be why its called golden phone. Also Zico might not have seen the disgusting videos , the chats can be easily get lost with many people talking in a chat. Honestly I'm still 50 50 on this but I dont believe Zico has anything to do with it.
Till 3 days ago i was a vip who defended seungri cause i really have no idea whats going on and how is the actual chronological order of things cause it was scattered all over the net. Your video was the eye opener for me...
Honey-pear they will eventually come around. It takes time to realized what you had believe all along this time were only a mere facade. Damn. Im not going to middle in kpop anymore...
I feel bad for all of them though because this is the worst scandal possible and it affects them all. They probably would have had a big comeback together after the military. I hope the rest keep going and are not blamed or brought down because of this.
thank you for all the updates, I'm just disappointed about all this mostly for Seungri, he should have listened to GD before to avoid too much friends. please keep updating, I find your videos much reliable than those other ones, being biased to one side.
Seungri is a grown man who is capable of making his own decisions can't blame the company he kept. They were probably all friends because they like abusing women
Broo ZICO had given us a hint about JJY "golden phone" used only for Kakao Talk back in an interview and we never thought to put 2 and 2 together until now... mind blown
@@sensoine true I honestly don't think ZICO is involved in this tbh if anything it was a joke he didn't think much of but JJY on the other hand... well his facial expression says it all
I’m shocked at those chats. That is just awful. I really hope those other people are revealed. I’d hate to think it’s someone I’m a fan of. Thank You so much for reporting on this.
I really like how u try to remain neutral n not give out assumptions as facts. I dont know how korean legal system works but I read somewhere Mr.Kim is refusing to be investigated! Can u clarify that in ur next video or leave a reply here. Also Thank you
I keep hoping "not Winner. not iKON" & wonder if they know something since they kinda avoided him over the phone (B.i always acts sleepy when he calls, Mino's changed his number...)... Human trafficking seems to always rabbit hole.. :(
He talked about it because he has no idea how far that phone is used. If you know something scandalous like that you wouldn't blabber about that in public.
then what is there to talk about if it’s a normal phone? zico mentioned that jjy’s golden phone was for an exclusive purpose and was an unregistered phone. zico quoted himself “there is information lined up like poketmon cards” -i’m pretty sure that this refers to sth else than just contact numbers.
@@Hihey-hy9he contact no. can have simple info for identification or better yet photos with description who they are or characteristics they possess. If you have that kind of friend with such a blabber mouth you wouldn't trust him to have access to your phone. Zico is so fascinated by it he couldn't help himself to be so damn curious about that "golden phone". He called it "that" probably because Joon doesn't allow him to touch it or browse more than he is allowed to.
There is no logical reason to have an extra unregistered phone for contact no. and information of your acquaintances. It’s for scandalous purposes such as sex tapes (which happens to be proven right for jjy’s phone). And jjy said “zico would intensely go through my phone as if it was his for over an hour.” - which means that he has gone through the whole phone :) I don’t know if you’ve watched the whole radiostar clip cuz he does say it! I’m more than happy to explain why I lean more to “he is guilty.” Leave any questions or comments you think i am making false assumptions.
Kinda off-topic, but you’re more reliable, trustworthy, objective and fair than 99% of the news outlets IN THE WORLD, that’s actually so amazing that you take time to find and process information from all sides and you don’t jump to conclusions just to defend your fave, you’re like an inspiration for all journalists out there
Jesus Christ those KakaoTalk messages are abhorrent, even if the tone was altered slightly through translation (which I doubt) the content itself is pretty awful. On top of that I understand most people expect privacy regarding their personal conversations but surely if you are in the public eye you'd have a bit more awareness about the language you use
I can't believe I actually loved this guy's voice and personality,it's so scary to think you never truly know someone.i hope he goes to jail for a long time.
you cleared up a lot of things that i wasn't sure about, thanks you did a great job again. i also appreciate and respect you for not adding any rumoured victims names.
I really hope that the names of the females celebrities who have been assaulted and raped is not made public. It would ruin their lives and people will go after them. PLEASE DON'T GO AFTER VICTIMS SND REVEAL THEIR NAMES !!!
I'm shook. Thank you for the updates. It's great to know what's going on from the point of view of a korean. There is no words to express how sorry i am for those women. 😔😔😔
And thank you so much for making this video. As Me too movement spread across the world, we need to stand up and fight against this injustice, and not turning a blind eye to these crimes again
Since i watch 2d1n regularly and even downloaded my favourite episodes, seriously now i feel disgusted to even scroll down the list...😨yes we should give a chance to him, but not for the same mistakes, tqsm keep on updating
yes, where smoke is there is fire. The first time yjy had a lot of people back him up. but reading this messages that he wrote ( nog guilty yet) i am so dissapointed in him,
I want to know if the rest of Big Bang knew about this. Because if they did I will stop calling myself a VIP and leave the fandom. Because if they knew and didn’t tell anyone they are still in the wrong.
It's so sad seeing so many people still defending Seungri and saying he did nothing wrong and is innocent when theres so much evidence that he isnt and so much evidence about the chats. The videos of the man who tried to help a victim and being beaten up by guards when he tried to help is so heartbreaking, and seeing his mum being dragged by police when she tried to defend her son speaks volumes about this issue and government officials being involved. Not to mention the video of the girl who was clearly drugged and being dragged by a staff member. I hope the people who are defending him and saying he did nothing wrong start to see how wrong and bad this is.
Normally, I'm hesitant on getting news from social media. But, I appreciate that you back up your info with news reports, translated messages. etc. Good job mean.
dude thank you so much for your updates, its hard for me to follow some of the posts from international fans bc most of them are either biased or not really reliable so you sharing about important stuff like this is so appreciated, thank you. i was so disappointed hearing zicos name in this and i can't even imagine who are the other male celebrities that could be involved too, its kinda hard to think about it knowing that anyone could be involved, its so disgusting i hope they all get exposed and their names are revealed at the end of the investigation if not before, this is not some 'whatever-type of scandal' that can allow celebrities to hide behind their privilege, they must be called out.
all the articles being published every second is so overwhelming so I've just been coming back to your channel for explanations on whats going on. Thank you for the informative updates!
Thank you so much for all these information. I was really a great fan of Seungri, JJY and ZICO. I love BIGBANG, BLOCK B & Drug Restaurant. But now the only things I just want to do are scream with desperation and puke over these disgusting things. How can they do this? Do this to women who are often helpless (I heard they were drugged and raped)... There were so many girls and women all over the world who would give everything to had xxx with their Korean idol. I don´t get it. It´s shameless, unbelievable and disgusting. All these hurt and disappointed fans all over the world... their families, friends... Everything´s ruined. Everything... It makes me really sad.
BlackHeart71 Rape isn’t about sex, but mostly about power. Men in these statuses often want more power and greed. I have no doubt using women in such a manner Fed into that for them. Disgusting.
about the golden phone, i bet Zico just knew about the list contact numbers. and he said its from JJY's phone. he's not in the group. based on your clip he said JJY used it for emergency. then its how JJY become flustered. i dont think he exactly know what JJY doing. if he really knew, is he so stupid to start talking about something very dangerous/ private into public? its not because i want to defend him, but just because of the 'line or caption' become your evidence, it so stupid. just only one thing people assumed it everything. make it related and looks logically. event detective also takes time to get all evidences. not a slight evidence but very strong evidence. i just cant accept this 'theory'. i didnt say i believe him 100 percent, unless there are strong evidence shows that he involve or he admit about it. if not, then its YOU (the people who linked the wrong evidences) who were dragged the innocent person into this case. btw, sorry for my bad english.
