Welcome to another edition of SB Week in Review. Here’s all the news you might have missed over the past week:

Headlines

On January 13, the original whistleblower of the Burning Sun case, Kim Sang-kyo, uploaded a post on Instagram that Hyoyeon was the DJ at the November 28 party in 2018. In his post, he claimed that she must have seen the VVIPs of the night and called her out asking for her witness account. SM Entertainment rebutted the claim stating that Hyoyeon was simply a DJ and had not witnessed much. Hyoyeon later refuted the claim by posting on her Instagram as well. Both Kang’s and Hyoyeon’s posts have been deleted.
