SEUNGRI FACES 3 YEARS JAIL TIME | UNSEEN EVIDENCE GOLDEN PHONE Pt.1

[@HenryPrinceMak]

UPDATE: This video was recorded 2 days ago but Zico recently just posted on his Instagram saying he has nothing to do with this, I choose to believe him, but we can’t rule out the fact that usually people that did something wrong will say they didn’t do it (just like Seungri said the messages were fabricated until the police proved that they were real) Zico said he wasn’t involved and knew nothing but a source has said that because these chat messages and chat group was from 4 years ago some people in the group chat could not be identified because they use screen names not real names and maybe in these 4 years they have made a new Kakao account and no longer use the old one. But JJY did mention that when Zico and he hangs out, Zico will go to the phone and use it as if it was his. So did Zico know and see all the stuff going on in JJY’s phone? That is something we can consider and think about, but not something we can judge about just yet. Let the police do their job. Give it time. Everything will slowly unfold. God bless the victims.

Guilty will say they are innocent but so will the innocent. You say you choose to believe zico but still projecting him like he's guilty. Zico said he was not talking about the phone that jjy used for this matter and even than jjy didn't say anything about zico being the chat group member or else he would have called him out for it. And the police are doing whatever they can because of the pressure and they didn't even call him for interrogation. Do You think police are not looking into this videos to get all the necessary information against the culprits? They have put out all the surnames of people involved and there was no woo. Please don't put words on peoples mouth because they look upto you and someone will believe whatever you say because this is a very serious matter and can effect someones livelihood. People are already putting other celebrities names in this matter just because they think they are involved. This will not help the victims but only mislead and delay the case . And take the attention away from real cause. P.s you said you made this video two days ago but even than he was not a suspect for that chat group member and he still isn't. You said you wanted to be unbiased and 100 % sure of what your talking about but you didn't even bothered to double check the information you are giving out and still upload it TODAY. why?? And now your video is out there for everyone one to see you calling him basically a criminal and sex offender which he is not.

1.) This is not a scandal but a crime. 2.) This case has been there for many years and reporters and detectives were looking into the gagnam clubs because of the drugs and one of the detectives was even killed (that one is a legit fact). Seungri/jung joonyoung are just a small piece of that huge mess. 3.) Zico is (currently) not a prime suspect. I personally am side eyeing zico because of the "golden phone" comment. He could have known about the videos like Yong Joonhyung (Beast/Highlight) without being in the chatroom 3 years ago. *Edit* for the ones saying scandals and crimes are the same: I didn't know that dating is a scandal or a crime. I am underlining this because this case is not a kpop scandal e.g coping another bands song. This is a crime because they went against the law. It's not just a petty scandal that can be forgotten in like three days.

Right. Seungri was an idol and was a member of BIG BANG. But he alone has destroyed his future. It was not the first scandal. But this scandal broke his neck. Instead of learning from his mistakes, he is so stupid and makes a bigger scandal. He has to live with that and face himself naturally. First, the victims need help and only this counts. What will become of Seungri it does not matter now.

[@bullybully7771]

@caty moonlight The other members are currently doing their military service. The boys do this without Seungri. Seungri was more like the lead dancer. Taeyang himself is a successful solo singer. G-Dragon and Taeyang are more of a songwriter and singer. Songs of Seungri, which only he had sung as a soloist I do not know, because he does not have either the talent of Taeyang. He was just a member and lead dancer in the group. Now comes first, that the victims get help. Only this counts. Seungri is past.

[@rankandfile4016]

@@hariav1963 That is why I mentioned whistleblower. They take private/confidential information and secretly release to a responsible reporter or lawyer or police officer. It is different to a hacker or someone that releases personal info. Whistleblowers do it because it pertains to a crime. If they did it for other reasons they are not whistleblowers. Think watergate, wikileaks, Al Capone, and Chelsea Manning or the victims of the Khmer Rouge. That is why there is a separate definition. Otherwise it would be very hard to catch heavy crimes.

Did they release a statement confirming who are included in the chat? Media has been supplying informations that are not really clear. There are sites publishing infos that are not real. SBS funE even admitted they edited the 1:1 message of JJY. Ri’s lawyer even stated that he gave their statement to one big media company but it seems like it was never posted. You cant trust the media rn. Better wait for the Seoul Metropolitan Police to release a statement. Yes,assault did happen. Illegal recording of videos did too happen as admitted by JJY. To many illegal things are slowly discoverd which is never never acceptable. But let’s not judge someone someone easily just because his name has been stitched to these issues. I believe the the police department handling this case is credible enough to gather evidences in order to give justice to the women involved in this scandal. The investigation is still on going. No one has been proven guilty yet except JJY who willingly admitted his action.

GD and Taeyang will definitely continue as solo artists. TOP will most likely stick to art since people still hasn't moved on from his drug scandal. Daesung will stick to his Japanese projects as usual. His Korean projects have beem nonexistent ever since his incident with a motorcycle driver.

10 years 20?

[@aquariaaustin2077]

Those are probably the initial charges. As the investigations uncover more information as to the extent of the crimes (or worse, more crimes committed), the charges will start getting more serious. I always have to get people outraged at "light charges" in the beginning of a criminal arrest to settle down and realize that initial charges exist to get people locked into the judicial process system before they can do a runner. It also buys time for police to complete their investigations. Not everything comes out all at once, as we're seeing now, and there is no such thing as too much evidence to take someone to trial. Witnesses have to be interviewed, victims interviewed, hard evidence tracked down and more. Then you know ALL of what can be charged, and why.

Homework: Five Core Principles of Journalism 1. Truth and Accuracy Journalists cannot always guarantee ‘truth’, but getting the facts right is the cardinal principle of journalism. We should always strive for accuracy, give all the relevant facts we have and ensure that they have been checked. When we cannot corroborate information we should say so. 2. Independence Journalists must be independent voices; we should not act, formally or informally, on behalf of special interests whether political, corporate or cultural. We should declare to our editors - or the audience - any of our political affiliations, financial arrangements or other personal information that might constitute a conflict of interest. 3. Fairness and Impartiality Most stories have at least two sides. While there is no obligation to present every side in every piece, stories should be balanced and add context. Objectivity is not always possible, and may not always be desirable (in the face for example of brutality or inhumanity), but impartial reporting builds trust and confidence. 4. Humanity Journalists should do no harm. What we publish or broadcast may be hurtful, but we should be aware of the impact of our words and images on the lives of others. 5. Accountability A sure sign of professionalism and responsible journalism is the ability to hold ourselves accountable. When we commit errors we must correct them and our expressions of regret must be sincere not cynical. We listen to the concerns of our audience. We may not change what readers write or say but we will always provide remedies when we are unfair.

everyone chill, it’s just my personal opinion. I don’t think it was because of age after hearing this.

[@justroaming1756]

I think this case goes beyond idols. There's corruption within the police, politics, and clubs in Gangnam. The fact that the Korean Prime Minister mentioned how Gangnam police has "dishonoured itself" [for not reporting many instances of illegal activities within clubs in Gangnam despite their knowledge] speaks a lot. Therefore, the case has been handed to Prosecutors who have helped expose the corruption by the previous Korean President two years ago, indicating how serious the matter is. The case of the actress (from Boys Over Flowers) who committed suicide and left a note about the men (most of whom were powerful politicians and businessmen) she was forced to sleep has been reopened. The situation does not seem as simple, but it depends on the authorities, whether they choose to dig deeper or let the main puppeteers escape. To me, these celebrities seem like fall guys for the deeply imbedded corruption in the system. But then, this is mere speculation. Either way, the crimes committed are too terrible to overlook. I hope the victims get justice and this situation can be a tipping point that will not only expose the corrupt but, in the future, have law prevail over all, including the powerful.

Tbh I don't think that defending Seungri is an option at this point??? Like he is confirmed to be in that groupchat, and the messages are also confirmed to be true. We could give him the benefit of the doubt on some of the charges, but I dont think it's okay to support a person who's, at least, been watching videos and photos of these girls for months and supporting it.

The repairman should be charged with intrusion of privacy, because he had no rights to go through someone's phone. That's just wrong. Many are probably thankful that he did, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a crime.

I am a VIP, I have loved Bigbang for years and a few days ago i cried my heart out because i felt betrayed and so disappointed.

This situation as a whole broke my heart, as a person in which country this happens on regular basis i still can't get over the fact that police didn't do anything about it till now, everyone is for blame and the victims need justice. I feel really sorry for VIPs, and i'm really dissapointed with Seungri and YG and the kpop industry as a whole actually. Prayers for the victims and support for the betrayed fans coming from me.

[@winterbunnyx]

In my honest opinion all this sex scandals the Kpop of industry's fault I'm not defending anyone any person to commit to sex related crime should be punished but we are talking about guys who are sexually repressed for years by the company's many of these guys enter to this company's as teenagers and they're not allowed to date or have any contact with females and Studies have shown that that only works to create sexual deviance take the Catholic church for example all those plates that have great children are because there are men who are sexually repressed

[@Koakoa45]

100% agree. If they allowed these young men and women to date and be normal couples they wouldn't be so apt to try to find a way to get sex, even if it is illegal.

[@ranvbb]

But they're only banned from dating for the first 3 years and these are all idols that have been in this industry for a long time and have had girlfriends before so it doesn't have anything to do with sexual repression. It's not like we know what happens when they go home. All we know is when the cameras are rolling but we dont really know they're personal lives. So that is not an excuse to just rape women. This ain't a scandal anymore, this is a crime.

[@MsNinjani]

@@ranvbb I agree. Also, spy cams are a massive issue in Korea at large, not just among idols.

[@karoliinamikkonen1943]

Not having sex in a long time might make a person feel bad, but no good person in that situation would ever even think about rape or any other crime. But I agree that they should be able to date more freely.

First Burning Sun isn't owned by Seungri. He is a DJ and face of the club. With that said...I don't think he was ignorant to what was occurring there at all. He's a celeb, they know where the drugs and sex are especially if party celebs. I do hope this gets cleared up but Zico claiming he doesn't know anything is total bull lol i mean boys talk and especially how close he is with JJY i highly doubt he had no clue this was going on. Did he participate? Probably not but he ain't no angel. Just like I doubt the rest of Bigbang didn't know that Seungri is into stuff like this. It's more disappointing than upsetting. I still love Bigbang and still respect Seungri as an artist but I can't think he's without wrong doing. Ppl need to think of the victims. What is being done for them?

Seungri is inocent. This video is old and does not include updates, Seungri's name was used by the media for ratings, the real criminals are already in jail, Seungri was never acused by anyone he was the one who asked to be investigated by the police to clear his name because the media dragged his name in every news articles even saying that Burning Sun was his club which is not true, it was trial by media, many people still think he his a criminal. Because of media many people doesn't even know the names of the real criminals and acuse an inocent person, all for the money, no one cares about the truth.

ZICO!!?? ZICO!!?! I hope that's not true hes also starting a label what the frick!! He has so much for the future Edit I just watched a video saying that Zico addressed this situation. He said that the "golden phone" had nothing to do with this case. He also said not to put any assumption out there on him because he will be taking action on it. So I don't think it was a good idea to put Zicos name In this because everyone who hasn't seen that Zico said that, is going to assume he might actually have something to do with it especially since it's said from a former idol like you (I mean you almost had me freak out lol) I love you Henry but idk, I think putting Zicos name in the video was a bad idea it might give the wrong message to others and have them think differently of Zico.

The "golden phone" that Zico talked about was the phone with the rape videos. JJY told the police that he had the videos on that phone, he also pretended the phone broke so he couldn't give it to the police. Zico didn't deny seeing that phone, but he said he was only looking at the contact list and not the videos. JJY said that everytime they met, Zico would go straight to the golden phone and spend at least 1 hour looking at it. Who looks at their friend's contact list for an hour? And who has a whole seperate phone to keep their contact list? Zico's excuse makes no sense, he's still very suspicious. A lot of people think he knew about the videos and didn't say anything. That phone story was way too weird. I hope police investigate him bc if he knew and didn't go to the police he's just as bad. It's not proven but we can't say he's proven innocent either. Ofc he's denying it rn, Seungri used to also deny until he couldn't anymore.

To me, it really seems like Zico was just joking about his contact list being so long, not really knowing more than that. Also, it's an entertainment show, for all we know jjy could have just been exaggerating how long Zico was on his phone just for laughs. Either way, you definitely have the right to assume the worse, but I'm gonna wait until more evidence comes out, evidence that isn't just a 20-second clip from a variety show taken out of context.

I can't imagine the pain fans must be feeling now and I am so sorry for them. These guys should definitely be punished for any of their wrongdoings. We really don't know how sincere or insincere their apologies are because we're not them and we're not God but hopefully they regret it. I hope that they feel terrible amounts of guilt and remorse and shame and try to change. Learn their lesson and do better. I hope that they can redeem their lives but not their careers. I hope that they have some friends and family who are willing to stand by them and help them learn. Atone for their sins to their friends, families, and to their victims. I don't blame the fans for hating them. Hate makes it easier to process a betrayal like this. Just don't send them hate mail or death threats. As much as you may hate to admit it they're still people so treat them as such at the bare minimum (even though they didn't but there's no need to stoop). All​ in all I hope they pay and learn and try to make up for things. Also, to anyone who reads this: please be the hope you wish to find in others. You do have people who admire you and who put their faith in you. Don't let them down. It's ok if you make a mistake. Just be sure to admit it and apologise and do better. Learn from it.
