The WORST Dating Scandals in the History of K-Pop

even though every Dating News in the K-pop industry is labeled as a scandal there are some that get a lot more negative attention than the others whether that is because of the idols wrongdoings or their Partners some dating scandals have forever left a bad Mark in the minds of K-pop fans and even ruined some careers you would think that a convicted criminal like big bang sunri wouldn't have a love life after getting out of prison but life is full of surprises if you kept up with the burning Suns Scandal you would know that he was a creative director shareholder and occasional DJ at the club the accusations against him were pretty serious and involved things like substance use and setting up illegal explicit services for investors in the end he was sentenced to 18 short months in prison as he was convicted on nine charges he got out of prison in February of 2023 but at this point you could say that his career had come to an end he had left big bang and YG had spent 18 years in prison and everyone in the country had labeled him as a criminal however if you were to ask Sury a jail sentence wasn't enough to stop him from enjoying parties and dating scandalously after getting out of jail he quickly returned to his nighttime activities and embraced his lavish lifestyle once again according to a close acquaintance of his from his big bang days sunri called a lot of his friends up as soon as he got out of prison to invite them to go clubbing sunri also had a big party for his birthday in Cambodia but by far the most interesting part of his post- prison life was his girlfriend or former girlfriend if his other Scandal was anything to go by the rumors that sunri was dating model turned influencer Yu won date back to October of 2018 when a Chinese media Outlet showed a picture of the alleged couple hugging on the street if you assumed that their relationship came to an end after his conviction you couldn't be more wrong when sunri enlisted as an active duty soldier in the middle of the investigation he was accompanied by a woman in his vehicle who many people assumed was you hi Juan additionally in March of 2023 A dispatch report claimed sunri and hi Juan were seen on vacation in Bangkok Thailand just a few weeks after he got out of prison the dispatch report said they were holding hands in a fancy hotel lobby showing a C to each other while also being cautious to avoid other Korean tourists or people who might recognize them it seems like the couple split in just a few months after sunry's release though because he was involved in a cheating scandal with two different women to sum it up quickly sunri allegedly went on a romantic trip to Bali with a woman called M A after she left he went on another date with a different woman MS B following the same itinerary the Scandal emerged when both women posted similar pictures on social media from the same location and since they were apparently following each other on Instagram it didn't take long for them to notice that something wasn't adding up compared to what sunri has been charged for a cheating scandal seems like nothing but people were actually more surprised at the fact that these women were still lining up to date him despite everything that he has done sunri isn't the only person involved in the burning Sun Scandal Who continued to have a love life even after everything that went down during the investigation it came to light that celebrities such as Jong Jun young Jong hon from FT Island and Jong hun from CN Blue were part of a cocka talk group where they exchanged Secret secretly recorded videos of a highly inappropriate nature another name that got dragged into this was the former member of highlight Jun hyung while it's widely believed that Jun hung was part of the group chat that's not true what happened was that Jun Yung had sent him a video of him engaging in inappropriate relations with a woman without the woman's consent or knowledge even though Jun hung's agency at the time denied the reports of his involvement Jun hung himself admitted to watching the video and even making inappropriate comments about it not only that but when juny young had sent him the video Jun Young seemed more scandalized that his friend got caught filming rather than the fact that he was sharing illegally taken videos with him he had no choice but to leave highlight and the agency and due to all the rightful criticism and backlash that he got he stayed out of the public eye for years outside of his fandom nobody even cared or thought about him until it was revealed that he was dating none other than Huna but before we get to that let us briefly show you a special offer March comes with a lot of new kdramas and Korean variety shows but if you've been

confident woman who didn't care about anyone's opinion and who supported other women before anything else so when she posted a picture of herself and juny young holding hands on January 18th everyone was shocked to say the least before they began officially dating the two had quite a long history with each other that dated back to huna's time in 4minute and Jun yung's debut in highlight in other circumstances people might have expected and even welcomed this relationship but many just couldn't believe that huno was openly dating someone like Jun young so to show their disapproval over the situation huna's big fan accounts on different social media all shut down and her Instagram was flooded with criticism and disappointed netizens who had looked up to her all these years the whole thing gets even even more disturbing when you consider that Jun hung used to date guuh Hara who was one of huna's closest friends why this is so scandalous is that back in the day when the investigation into juny Young's Scandal was ongoing Hara took it upon herself to contact the reporter who was covering the chat room Scandal to show her support for the victims having been a victim of being illegally filmed herself all she wanted to do was help other women who had gone through the same thing so to have Huna date hara's controversial ex years later and proudly parade her relationship around has significantly tarnished her reputation her posts after her relationship announcement still get swarmed with comments commending their relationship but it doesn't seem like she cares all that much speaking of guhara let's discuss her tragic relationship with Choy Jong boom back in April 2018 Hara became the host of jtbc's beauty program my mad Beauty diary where she crossed paths with Jong boom who was working as a hair stylist shortly after they started dating Jong boom contacted the police following a fight with Hara alleging that she had caused him physical harm after he decided Ed to end their relationship after the police came to the scene it was concluded that the two had both harmed each other but dispatch's report that came only a few days later said that Jong boom had broken into her apartment while intoxicated Hara was asleep when he came in but he woke her up by kicking her and proceeded to throw and break household items a close friend of the couple disclosed that the fight between the two started because of this and this led to a heated argument escalating into physical confrontation both parties sustained injuries with scratches on Jong boom's face from Hara trying to defend herself self in bruises on hara's body when the police arrived at the scene Jong boom showed them the injuries on his face as evidence the details that Hara and her friend revealed afterwards about what Jong boom did to her are horrid so we're not going to get into that after everything that happened Jong buom made threats towards Hara saying that he would release explicit footage of her if she didn't listen to his demands at the time Hara shared that she was worried about what Jong bum did with the videos and what he might do with them in the future as she said it was scary I wondered if he reported it to dispatch if he shared them with his friends how about my life as an Entertainer My Life as a woman Hara tried to stay calm and first talked to her agency and then a friend asking them to help her ex-boyfriend apologize later her ex-boyfriend tried to send the recording to dispatch but thankfully they didn't publish it in the first trial in April of 2019 Jong boom was accused of various offenses including filming an explicit video causing harm intimidation coercion and damaging property he denied most charges except for property damage a few months later Jong boom was cleared of filming the video without consent but he received a suspended sentence of 1 year and 6 months in prison along with 3 years of probation for other charges at the time Hara was facing horrible online harassment after the video became public neans criticized Hara for reappearing in public suggesting she should feel ashamed despite being the victim in the case months after she had attempted to take her life people went on to criticize her for using social media performing her duties as an idol and her appearance among other things just shows you how people didn't really care that she was hared harmed hurt and violated they just wanted someone to harass in November of the same year Hara was found unconscious at her home as she had made a drastic decision to end it all it's heartbreaking that someone so kind and wonderful faced so many challenges especially when they brought so much happiness to others but we have another case to cover as for Gina hers wasn't exactly a dating Scandal but she did claim that she was in a relationship if you don't know Gina she used to be a very popular soloist under Cube Entertainment that was until 2016 when she got involved in a very strange dating Scandal she was accused of providing favors to an unidentified businessman in exchange for 35 million Korean one back then she denied the accusation and explained that a male friend who she later found out was connected to arranging high-end Services loaned her money when she was in financial trouble the friend apparently asked her to meet his businessman friend expecting certain favors in return for the loan but Gina thought the meeting with the businessman was just a normal date she ended up being accused of a crime related to trading services for money and was directed to pay a fine of2 2 million one she hasn't been seen in the industry since as this Scandal completely destroyed her reputation and entertainment companies didn't want to be associated with her now let's move on to the idols who got a disgusting amount of hate just for dating the people they were dating weren't horrible people as ridiculous as it sounds the real controversy here was that they were just dating like any other couple one of these couples is beun and taon back in June of 2014 dispatch reported that the two had been secretly dating for months when the news gained traction they confirmed their relationship ship making history as the first openly acknowledged couple under SM Entertainment however the announcement was met with mixed reactions while some fans offered congratulations others were upset to the point of harassing the former couple ton especially endured significant harassment including an incident where she was seen crying at the airport and apologizing to a fan she faced harsh criticism for being older than Beck hun with fans turning against her due to suspected post hinting at their relationship beun on the other hand was accused of betraying the group and fans leading to a petition to remove him from Exo the level of hatred escalated to the point where taon and her family received threats and vile messages daily so it wasn't surprising when it was announced that they had broken up even if they had loved each other and wanted to stay together they were aware that they would never be able to date peacefully which makes the whole thing sadder knowing all this you would think that netizens have changed their ways and have become more accepting towards dating news they have shown signs of improvement over the years but everything went down the drain when dispatch reported that espa's Karina was dating actor Lee jwood the two had met at a fashion show the month prior but even though the couple got a lot of support there were still fans who were opposed to the fact of her dating they demanded that she apologized to them and threatened to boycott her activities if she didn't show remorse there were even protest trucks parked in front of the company saying things like is the love fans give you not enough why did you choose to betray fans please personally apologize to us otherwise you will see the drop in album sales and empty concert venues the situation got so bad that Karina dropped a handwritten apology to calm everything down she expressed regret for disappointing fans promising to show them a more mature side of hers International fans were baffled that she had to apologize in the first place and the issue got so bad that it got the attention of news outlets worldwide BBC CNN and Sky News reported on the apology letter emphasizing the bad sides of the K-pop industry not only that but it made the local news in other countries as well bringing in even more attention to the issue Karina was then labeled as a national embarrassment by the same netizens who had demanded an apology from her before they accused her of shedding a negative light on the country and making others think low of them despite this being a mutually respectful relationship between adults Karina still faced more criticism than Idols who have actually committed crimes it's not surprising in the slightest that Idols refuse to share parts of their life with their fans especially knowing that they will be crucified for being normal people
