Lee Cheol-woo, who바카라s currently seen in the K-Drama, 바카라Lovely Runner바카라, has denied any association with the notorious Burning Sun scandal, amidst renewed accusations stemming from a recent BBC documentary released Sunday. In a statement released on May 20, the actor has firmly rejected all allegations tying him to the infamous scandal, affirming his innocence amidst intense backlash.
For those unfamiliar, the Burning Sun scandal shook the entertainment industry by its core in 2019, implicating individuals in sex solicitation, illicitly recorded sexual videos, and corruption, including Jung Joon-young, BIGBANG바카라s Seungri, as well as business figures and police officials. These videos were disseminated within Jung Joon-young바카라s KakaoTalk group chat, which was exposed during investigations into the scandal. And it바카라s with this chat that Lee Cheol-woo is being associated with.
Taking to his Instagram on Monday, the actor stated, 바카라I would like to reiterate that I was not included in the chat room as I had stated through my agency at the time.바카라
He clarified that he was indeed in an online chat room with Jung Joon-young, but solely for professional purposes. 바카라The chat room I바카라m referred to as having been in during the incident was specifically for sharing the schedule and content needed for filming when I appeared on the JTBC show 바카라Hitmaker바카라 in 2016. We didn바카라t talk about anything private other than what was related to the program, and the chat room ended after the program was over,바카라 he continued to say.
The caption concluded by saying, 바카라It is not just me, but also my family and acquaintances who are suffering from years of false information and malicious comments. We sincerely ask you to refrain from making reckless speculations, and we will strongly respond to malicious comments and sharing of false information from here on.바카라
This marks his second explanation, the first being in April 2019 when he initially faced accusations of involvement in the notorious 바카라Burning Sun Gate바카라 group chat room with many others. At that time, his agency strictly clarified that he was neither a part of the group nor has filmed or distributed any illicit or inappropriate content. It was also reported that Cheol-woo had not been contacted by law enforcement or other relevant institutions related to the case.
