Choi Tae Joon is now embroiled in the ongoing “Burning Sun” scandal, with reports indicating he lost a major project due to his alleged involvement. This comes in the wake of the BBC’s recent documentary, “Burning Sun: Exposing the Secret K-Pop Chat Group,” which revisits the 2019 sex and drug scandal that rocked the Korean entertainment industry.
The documentary highlights the efforts of two female Korean journalists who uncovered the sexual misconduct of several K-pop stars.
It reveals the disturbing behavior of former BIGBANG member Seungri and his associates, who exploited women for the pleasure of VIP nightclub guests. Other celebrities implicated include Choi Jong Hoon, Jung Joon Young, and Zico.
Singer Hyuna has also faced backlash due to her relationship with Yong Junhyung, another figure in the scandal. Meanwhile, Choi Tae Joon, known for his close ties with some of the involved celebrities, has come under intense scrutiny.
His friendships with Jung Joon Young and Lee Jong Hyun, frequently showcased on social media and television, have led many to question his innocence.
In 2019, Jung Joon Young was the first to be publicly condemned, causing a ripple effect that negatively impacted those associated with him, including Choi Tae Joon. The actor reportedly lost a role in the popular drama “Hotel Del Luna” due to the controversy. Despite attending script readings and preparing for his part alongside star IU, he ultimately exited the project.
Speculation suggests his departure was influenced by his connection to Jung Joon Young. As the scandal continues to unfold, Choi Tae Joon’s agency has yet to comment on the situation, leaving fans and the public in anticipation of an official response.
