SBS has shared a conversation between Seungri and fellow members of a group chatroom.

On March 28, SBS’s “8 O’Clock News” reported on Seungri recently being booked for spreading an illegally taken photo. According to police, while Seungri admitted to sharing illicit footage, he has denied taking it and said it was a photo from an acquaintance.

SBS reports that on June 12, 2016, Seungri shared a photo of naked women in a group chatroom.

Mr. Kim replied, “Now?” and Choi Jong Hoon asked, “Seungri, what is it?” In reply, Seungri sent several symbols for laughter.

Police are conducting an investigation into who took the photo.

Earlier that day, MBC reported that there are eight singers in the controversial group chatrooms, with 14 people in all. The police also stated that they have confirmed the existence of 23 chatrooms so far, including group chatrooms and one-on-one conversations, where illegally filmed videos and photos were shared by Jung Joon Young, Seungri, Choi Jong Hoon, and more.

On March 28, MBC’s “Newsdesk” reported on discussions of destroying evidence that took place in the group chatrooms where illegally filmed videos were shared.

MBC received investigation reports from the police that state that Seungri, Jung Joon Young, Choi Jong Hoon, and other members of the controversial group chatrooms had all changed their phones.

It was revealed that when it was first reported on March 11 that there had been illegally filmed videos shared in their group chatrooms, they discussed switching their phones.

The police found that Seungri said to Choi Jong Hoon, “Change your phone.”

Jung Joon Young also testified to police that he had gotten rid of his phone at his show’s filming location in Los Angeles and bought a new one, as instructed to by Mr. Park, a member of the chatroom.

When he returned to Korea from the United States, he claimed that he submitted all of his phones with videos to the police, even though he’d gotten rid of his phone that is suspected of containing more recent illegally filmed videos.

Six other members of the chatrooms including Seungri and others submitted new phones to the police after changing their phones.

Because of this organized destruction of evidence, the police have not been able to check their recent phones. This is why the investigation has mostly been focused on illegal activities that took place in 2015 and 2016.

Seungri, Jung Joon Young, and Choi Jong Hoon were all booked earlier today for additional charges of sharing illegally filmed videos and photos.

On March 28, MBC’s “Newsdesk” reported that Jung Joon Young’s group chatrooms included 14 people, eight of whom are singers.

“Newsdesk” reports that the chatroom conversations were full of messages that disparaged women, and even included discussion of the possibility of using illegally filmed video as blackmail.

The chatrooms reportedly included Jung Joon Young, Seungri, Choi Jong Hoon, and Yong Junhyung, with eight singers in total. This includes newly identified singers referred to by MBC as “singer K” and “singer J.”

There was also model L, businessmen such as former Yuri Holdings CEO Yoo In Suk, two Burning Sun MDs (merchandisers or promoters), and a friend of Jung Joon Young.

When reached out to for a comment, a representative of singer K said that they do remember being in a chatroom with Jung Joon Young, but not the sharing of illegal photos.

There are said to be seven chatrooms where hidden camera videos were shared. The participants shared videos in the chatrooms, which had as few as three to four people or as many as six to seven people.

The police have found in their investigation that after videos were shared in the chatrooms, the participants would talk about them as though bragging. In addition, Seungri’s acquaintance Mr. Kim filmed a sexual video of a victim who owned him a debt. He said, “Should I release this video if she doesn’t pay up?” and shared the video in a chatroom.

MBC also reports some of what the police have found while investigating Jung Joon Young. In 2016, he shared a photo of a woman’s body in a chatroom with male celebrity friends. The photo was of a woman who was sitting ahead of him on an airplane. 30 seconds later, he sent the photo in another chatroom with celebrity friends.

Police have found that he filmed women in locations including a hotel in Taiwan, his apartment, a restaurant in Gangnam, an adult entertainment establishment, and in an airplane. The videos were also shared at various times of the day, including the middle of the night and the afternoon.

Most of the videos are less than 10 seconds long, and were taken without the woman’s awareness. It’s reported that he was caught by a woman he’d filmed in his home in 2015 and he deleted the footage.

Jung Joon Young was arrested on March 21 and is currently being held at a detention center. He has been charged with 11 instances of sharing illegally taken footage.
