Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review! It’s a double update this week, so here’s all the news you might have missed:

Headlines

  • Park Yoochun‘s press conference statements seem to have been proven false this week after the singer tested positive for Philopon and was arrested. Prior to his arrest, C-JeS announced that his contract has been terminated.
  • Seventeen women were booked for prostitution in relation to the Burning Sun investigation. Furthermore, Yoo In-suk — CEO of Yuri Holdings — admitted that there was mediation for prostitution back in 2015. Seungri‘s side continues to deny any direct involvement.
  • A warrant of arrest for Burning Sun’s CEO Lee Moon-ho was issued on April 19.
  • A second woman came forward with an account of sexual assault and secret filming by some members of the Jung Joon-young chat group.
  • Yoon Ji-oh who has served as a witness in the Jang Ja-yeon case, is now facing a defamation and contempt lawsuit from writer Kim Soo Min. The writer claims Yoon is exaggerating her involvement with the case — specifically that she saw the supposed list of men Jang named in her suicide letter — for financial gain. Yoon stands her ground, citing her multiple interviews and testimonies with police that prove her credibility.
