[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Kim Sang-kyo, who exposed the so-called 'Burning Sun Gate,' appeared on the YouTube channel 'Garo Sero Research Institute' (Gaseyeon) to reiterate his claims despite Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon's rebuttal. Kim once again demanded that Hyoyeon testify about drug administration inside the club.

On the 14th, Gaseyeon conducted a live broadcast on their YouTube channel titled '[Exclusive Interview] Burning Sun Kim Sang-kyo!!! Actress H - Actress G Identity!!!' During the broadcast, Kim said, "Hyoyeon may have only DJed and left, but she must have seen the overall situation afterward," adding, "But pretending not to see and living like that itself is wrong."

Kim also claimed, "Since I am close with Seungri, I probably know to some extent about the relationship of these (drug-administering actresses)." In response, one of the Gaseyeon hosts, Kim Yong-ho, supported him by saying, "The structure of entering Burning Sun is not simply coming in, DJing, and leaving," and "If you have no connection with Burning Sun, you cannot DJ there."

Kim then said, "DJs do a lot of drugs," adding, "This scene itself is not ordinary. It's hard to find a line that doesn't do drugs."

Earlier, on the 13th, Kim posted on his Instagram a photo of Hyoyeon DJing at Burning Sun, writing, "Who was the actress drooling from being high on drugs that day, to the extent that the police at Yeoksam District Station couldn't even enter the club? You, the VVIP of that day, must have seen everything," and "Will the dozens of celebrities related to Burning Sun ever be revealed, or will you choose to properly expose it?"

In response to this controversy, Hyoyeon on the 14th posted on her social network service (SNS), "People seem to think I'm a straw mat because I stay quiet, but I worked hard," adding, "I think I've seen men and women inside the club drooling to seduce each other. But I've never seen or heard of actresses, actors, cats, or dogs drooling."

On the same day, Hyoyeon's agency SM Entertainment also released an official statement saying, "Hyoyeon was only booked for a performance and performed at that time, and is completely unrelated to the mentioned post," and requested, "Please refrain from speculation and misunderstanding."
