In 2019, during the investigation into the Burning Sun case, VI and Jung Joon Young were found to have spread illegally filmed sexual intercourse videos several times in a KakaoTalk group chat.
VI was subsequently sentenced to one year and six months in prison for nine charges including habitual gambling, prostitution, and arranging prostitution, and was released in February of last year. Jung Joon Young was released in February of last year after being arrested for distributing illegally filmed material.
They were sentenced to five years in prison for allegedly committing sexual assault and gang rape, and were released in March of this year after serving their sentence. As the crimes they committed caused a huge stir in society, they have essentially been banned from the entertainment industry.
However, news of their current situation since their release has revealed that they are still unable to stay away from entertainment venues, which has angered the public.
First, VI was publicly spotted at a club. Meanwhile, VI was spotted at the "Burning Sun" event in Indonesia.
Rumors of him participating in the event have surfaced, but VI has directly stated that the rumours are “groundless.”
However, according to a South Korean media outlet, on the 10th of this month,
VI has been spotted several times at places like S Club on the beach in Bali. In the video from the informant, he is heard replying to a Korean woman who asks, "Oppa (= VI) will buy it for me?", "I'll buy it for you."
"It's okay," he said. It was also revealed that one of the VI members had invited a tourist from Korea to go back to the hotel together.
Jung Joon Young has also been spotted at clubs overseas. He was spotted at a club in Lyon, France last month.
He engaged in intimate skinship with the woman he met there, introduced himself to the woman, Ms. A, as "Jun" from Boston, and said he was a composer and lyricist who was about to open a Korean restaurant.
After these sightings spread, Jung Joon Young sent a message to A saying, "I was just asking people to be friends with me, so I'm disappointed."
After sending the message, the account was blocked. The public was outraged that he was still travelling around overseas advertising himself as someone involved in the music industry.
People who were released from prison after serving prison sentences for crimes that came to light during the investigation of the Burning Sun Club case are now visiting the club on their own.
However, as they are unable to stay away from women and entertainment venues, criticism is growing as to whether they are truly remorseful.
