In this video, we break down the recent controversy surrounding actress Ahn So-hee and singer Roy Kim after their Hannam-dong vlog sparked heavy backlash online. We explore the 2019 Burning Sun association, the 2020 prosecution findings that cleared Roy Kim, his personal apology, and why public perception in Korea remains fiercely divided.

Is public criticism justified?

Hey, first
I wouldn’t want to support a woman who is friends with a predator !
i think he frends wih JJY, not him the predator rite? or am i not updated
He was in the recent heart signal until the season ended, did that show got this kind of attention bcoz of him?..
It's a bit funny how "they" (k-netizens) think Kim Soo-Hyun should be ok but not Roy Kim. When both are cleared legally but whatever morally wrong they did Kim soo-hyun is soo much worse.
Sometimes the public gets it wrong and they to should be held accountable. Agencies should go after negative comments; let's be clear "under South Korean law, netizens who continue to spread debunked rumors can face severe criminal penalties for cyber defamation".
Sir, going forward, let's stop "the former member of Big Bang" whenever mention that scumbag.
Just his actual name or stage name is fine. Thank you.
Denying it before the investigation ended, wouldn't really convince anyone who assume he's guilty with whatever he say and show, unless the police officially corroborates it, right?
The problem is the news medias. They reported the news regardless of the final verdict. The public already found him guilty, and the news didn't report on the final verdict when he was found innocent.
Im so tired of men getting excused for their abusive behavior. Sharing that screenshot was a crime. But the other guys all got easy sentences too so why should we expect differently. No matter where you go in the WORLD, it's always men who get excused for any and all abusive behavior towards women. Im so tired.
if you think friends don't share similar values and patterns of abusing people, that would be naive …he's not the same as his friends, but he's not totally different either.
I think people are too bored and sink too easily into tearing others down.
Being friend with that abomination of a man made him guilty by association.
And he should hv never shared that pic even to debunke it.
That being said, let the guy live his life, unburden him
Roy Kim is an amazing singer. Poor guy.
People are too cruel, he didn't do nothing.
Nor he is accountable for others mistake. Knowing that friends come and go in Korea.
Is wild that people are insatiable in continuing the hate after so many years.
I bet all these women have their phones full of men pics and the men have their phones full of women pictures but here we are hipocrites calling on others.
Once again, the comments are hilarious. They hate Roy for previously being fishing friends with JJY, who is someone they hate, even though Roy didn't do anything. And, they justify this hatred by just his association with JJY. That is it. Nothing else. No crime. Nothing. 😂.
Birds of a feather
this channel is good at showing how toxis Korean online society is
Y'know, it occurs to me that when I first heard about the Burning Sun scandal, I thought it was some celebrity mega r**e ring and such, based on how people react to it. Turns out, it's almost a nothingburger. Hilarious. Shame so many people's careers got ruined over it.
Guilt by assocation is such a dangerous attitude to have – EVERYONE interacts with bad people everyday, people shouldnt be unjustly harrassed and painted a criminal for someone elses crimes. People should be able to learn and make amends for mistakes. The media are responsible for so much social harm, but people really should learn about a situation before jumping on witch hunts and public humiliation
I admire Roy Kim for just getting on with life and not rising to or reacting to all the toxicity.
The most ironic thing about the whole things is that he's still getting a public lynching for standing up for a woman whose image was being abused online.
The mind boggles.
Great singer/songwriter as I think I have said before on your other channel many moons ago.
Thanks as ever 🙏🏻
I really think that Korean Netizens should keep it Klassy…..get a friggin life (not keeping it Klassy) I am soooo tired of Korean Netizens being beyond psychotic. The entire challenge of Korean society is the pride of being Korean but taking every opportunity to pull someone down. I don't know Roy Kim nor have any skin in this game. But based on your video…seems like he did nothing wrong, apologized and went on to live his life. They should take ALL of that energy and point it towards Seungri – that guy is still out there doing his same stupid stuff.
Korea is so filled with haters it is sickening.
He's been active in all types of social media and entertainment so this is just half brained, dump brained people complaining. Unfortunately they have a perpetual existence in our society. 🙄
Они осуждают Ahn Sohee за дружбу с Roy Kim, за то, что она сделала видео с его участием. Roy Kim оправдан, но людям всё равно. Однако возникает вопрос, эти люди так же возмущаются в отношении активных выступлений группы BIGBANG? А ведь их коллега и друг оказался замешан в очень громком скандале и отсидел срок в тюрьме. Может я ошибаюсь, но ничего не слышала о громких скандалах и возмущений связанных с возвращением группы к активной концертной деятельности. Я не имею никаких претензий к легендарной группе BIGBANG, и упоминаю их лишь, как очень яркий пример влияния преступления одного человека на многих людей, которые с ним связаны.
И ещё. Очень хорошо, если есть близкие люди и друзья, которые помогут и поддержат человека, который оступился. Эти люди нуждаются в помощи, чтобы вернуться к нормальной жизни.
Considering the context and his friends, it’s kind of hard to believe there was nothing more to this no matter what anyone says. He should have defended himself more in any case, because letting things sit like this for that long just leaves a bad taste that is almost impossible to erase.
We gotta figure out how to fix social media. It's ruining humanity
When I became a fan of Roy Kim (a couple years ago) and came across his past controversy it took me about fifteen minutes of googling to find that he had been legally cleared of any involvement in the underlying Burning Sun scandal. It’s hard to understand why, after all these years, people would post nasty comments vilifying him without taking a few minutes to confirm the facts when that’s so easy to do. As for not speaking out sooner to defend himself, my guess is that he was advised by his legal team not to say anything publicly until the investigation was formally concluded given that his posting of the illicit photo, regardless of intention, was still technically a crime. He’s a wonderful talent, and I’m glad he’s been able to resume his career.
The Korean gp seem to be endlessly vindictive to folks without evidence, it's a constant!!! While those that were seriously involved in the b.sun scandal & got, what can inly be termed as pitiful sentences, have been left relatively alone, from what can be seen of them since. They're flaming hypocrites!!! Full of their own self importance & ridiculous standards (which, they themselves could never adhere to, mind you!). It's like they have to be angry at someone, anyone!!!
I come from a different cultural background—though from a country with a history similar to Korea’s—yet I cannot fathom the mentality of people there who tolerate those who gained power and wealth through collaboration with the Japanese, while hating those who built their fortunes through hard work and perseverance. They spy on celebrities and practically try to run their lives, dictating what they can and cannot do and whom they can date. To me, it looks like nosiness and hypocrisy—but then again, what do I know? Not my circus, not my monkeys.
You need to stop jumping into conclusions without doing due diligence and posting these videos without looking at all sides.
Look these celeb all have private life they aren't all good people. What they showed to us the fans is not who they are
I blame the authorities for not clarifying that the dude was literally fact checking the photo who I assumed was for a female artist he knew. I don't think him trying to clear his name in 2016 would ve helped. People were too angry and guilt by association was enough
Koreans are weird aout fame, so this guy distributed a single image i which he was debuking that was a cor image and for that he deserves all the hate even though he was cleared of being part of the Burning Sun. And by the ae hypocritical stance they welcome back Kim Soon hyung even though the only thing he was cleared off is the AI recordings and fake text messages, but not of having an intimate relatioship in their teens when he was in his thirties. Do they hate without thinking or listening to the news or being at least legally aware or knowlegable about who they want their hate and destructions unleahed to? tsk,tsk
Korean netizens truly love a good 'Trojan Horse'. It's coming into the city gates every-time.
There is something wrong with this…. And it seems to relate to men who have no sense of women’s rights and how much they contribute to society.. and Korea has a very poor history of women being treated very badly and then society is attacking a man who stood up for a woman is a serious issue
