"Jung Joon-young is a Child of Darkness"... Close Friend Park Tae-joon’s Old Remarks Revisited

Suddenly gave whiskey to a sleeping friend
"Feels like 100 dimensions, not just 4D" remark included

As the 'Burning Sun Gate' is being reexamined, past interviews related to the key figures of the incident are also being brought back into the spotlight. On the 13th, a video of webtoon artist Park Tae-joon discussing Jung Joon-young, a central figure in the Burning Sun scandal, during a past broadcast interview circulated widely on online communities. At that time, Park Tae-joon appeared as a close associate of Jung Joon-young and answered questions related to him.

When asked in the video at the time what 'Jung Joon-young's true self' was like, Park Tae-joon said, "What made me really angry while watching the broadcast was that they only edited what could be aired, so it was only that much. If you see him in real life, (his eccentricity) is beyond words," adding, "When you meet him in person, he seems like 100-dimensional rather than 4-dimensional." He continued, "I went to the bathroom, and suddenly four people rushed over and pulled down my pants. And they filmed that," adding, "They suddenly gave whiskey to a friend who was sleeping. They said they did it because it was funny. A child of darkness."

When asked in the video about 'Jung Joon-young's true nature,' Park Tae-joon said, "What made me really angry while watching the broadcast was that only the parts suitable for airing were edited in, so it was only that much. If you actually see him, (his eccentricity) is beyond words," adding, "When you meet him in person, he seems like 100 dimensions, not just 4 dimensions." He continued, "I went to the bathroom, and suddenly four people rushed over and pulled down my pants. Then they filmed it," and said, "They suddenly gave whiskey to a friend who was sleeping. They said it was because it was funny. A child of darkness."

In the interview, Park Tae-joon also spoke about Jung Joon-young's relationships with women, saying, "Joon-young doesn't go around meeting this woman and that woman. Because his mindset is to consider everyone as friends, he has many close friends," and added, "To others, it might look like he's a Casanova." Netizens who watched the video reacted with comments such as, "In summary, he's a hidden camera criminal who pulls down men's pants and films them, a thief who doesn't pay back money," "He keeps throwing shade without even taking a breath until the end," and "He spoke nicely because it was an interview, but if you look at it coldly, it means he's trash."

The Burning Sun gate recently drew attention again after BBC News Korea released a documentary titled "Burning Sun: The Stories of Women Who Exposed K-pop Stars' Secret Chatrooms." Reporters Park Hyo-sil and Kang Kyung-yoon, who covered the Burning Sun incident, appeared in the documentary and provided detailed accounts of the situation at the time. On the 22nd of last month, reporter Kang also appeared on SBS Radio's "Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show" to share updates on key figures such as Jung Joon-young and Seungri.

Reporter Kang said, "Seungri is not active as a singer. I heard he is making great efforts to continue his business ventures," and in response to the question, "How is Jung Joon-young doing?" he replied, "I heard he is preparing to emigrate overseas."
