1st. Kim Ho-jun "Hit-and-run cover-up" (100 votes)

3rd. Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Ador (26 votes)

6th. Juice Saeyong, Seungri (2 votes)
In addition, KBS, BTS Suga, former CEO of HYBE Park Ji-won, and NCT Taeil also received votes.
6th Juice Saeyong, Seungri
Juice Saeyong ➡ Last year, I was contacted through DM pretending to be HYBE. He was saying strange things that were not related to work, so I asked my sister, who knew Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, to ask him, and it turned out to be an impersonator. I have caught and punished impersonators in the past. There were other victims besides me. I helped collect information for an identity theft case, and Chairman Bang Si Hyuk knew me even though we had never met - he helped me make a reservation at a popular restaurant as a thank you for collecting information for the identity theft case."
Seungri → ...
5th place Jung Jun Young
Jung Jun Young → Singer Jung Jun Young, who was sentenced to prison for gang rape and released after serving five years, was spotted in France.
Witness A: "My friends said they were going to spend the night at a club, so I went with them. I didn't want to waste the alcohol that was brought out by mistake, so I asked the person next to me if they wanted to drink, and a man came and said he would."
At that time, I thought he looked like Jung Jun Young, but I kept quiet. Later, I asked him about the tattoo on his arm and he said, "Jun."
After that, he asked us about his Instagram account, but the internet connection was bad, so I just took a picture and said, "I'll follow you later," and left. A few minutes later, another Korean man came and told me, "Do you know that guy? He's a famous singer in Korea."
As I was watching him from afar, I saw him flirting with a woman. I wanted to tell her to be careful.
This coward fled his country because he was hated in his country. I know he's still hanging out with women. In fact, I saw him kissing a woman on the dance floor. He said he has plans to open a Korean restaurant in Lyon.
4th place: Kang Kyung-jun
Kang Kyung-jun ➡ Last December, Kang Kyung-jun was named as an adulterer and sued for damages by the other party. The lawsuit alleges that his wife and Kang Kyung-jun committed adultery.
Kang Kyung-jun initially denied the allegations, saying, "When you look at the content, there is room for misunderstanding between us. Our company plans to respond in due course."
However, when the details of the messages exchanged by Kang Kyung-jun were made public, the public was shocked.
Kang Kyung-jun went silent, and his wife, Jang Shin-young, stopped using social media.
Eventually, Mr. A, who named Kang Kyung-jun as the man who committed the adultery, filed a lawsuit seeking compensation of 50 million won (approximately 5 million yen).
After the trial, Kang Kyung-jun apologized, saying, "I wanted to take legal action regarding some parts that were not true and some parts that needed explanation, but I also thought that the misunderstandings and criticism were also due to my immorality."
3rd place: Min Hee-jin, former CEO of Ador
Min Hee-jin: "There are some absurd parts of the law. You can't know until you experience it," she said, "Currently, there is a dilemma of whether HYBE and ADOR are one or not. I may accept the result as it suits me, and I am currently fighting that battle. I filed the provisional injunction application to appeal to my innocence and purity, and I was also wondering if this would work."
Regarding the situation she is in, she said, "Everything has been a lie from the beginning. I am on a witch hunt. It's exhausting to think about how to get out of this frame. I think people do this because they have some evidence when the other person plots something that was zero in the first place. But sometimes there is smoke rising from no fire," she confessed, "I was followed the other day. The taxi driver told me. So I purposely got off at a place that was not my destination and immediately reported it to the police. I also received death threats."
2nd place: Bang Si Hyuk, Chairman of HYBE
HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk talks about his philosophy on nurturing K-pop artists: "Making fans happy is the most important thing"
This person is a mystery to me.
When I talk about BTS, I've just been giving him random compliments.
Now I find myself unable to talk about this person lightly.
When I see this photo, I think he must be a billionaire.
I wonder if he's really in second place.
I feel the same about Min Hee Jin, but I don't think he was intentionally listed here.
1st place. Kim Ho Jun "Hit and run cover-up"
Kim Ho Jun ➡ Nothing in particular to say. My lips get cold when I talk about it.
