Jung Joon-young

Writing about Jung Joon-young is, frankly, uncomfortable, and it should be. He emerged from Superstar K with real musical ability and a public charm that won him a following. But his 2019 conviction in the Burning Sun scandal for sexual violence overrides any discussion of talent. My take is simple: the artistry is not the story here; the harm done to his victims is. If anything, the gifts he had make the betrayal heavier. His name belongs in the record as a cautionary case, never as praise.
