A new documentary released by the British Broadcasting Corporation has put a spotlight on the Korean entertainment industry scandal that first erupted in 2019 involving several popular K-pop idols, including Seungri of the group Big Bang.

Titled Burning Sun: Exposing The Secret K-Pop Chat Groups, the BBC documentary explored the secret chat groups uncovered by two Korean journalists detailing the alleged sexual predation engaged in by some idols at that time – including prostitution, sexual assault, distribution of illegally acquired photos or videos, and drug dealing, among others, in collusion with some members of the police force.
