In the spotlight: Seungri and Jung are among the K-pop stars who have resigned from the entertainment industry. — ReutersOn a recent weekend night, the dance floor at one of the hottest clubs in Seoul’s swanky Gangnam district held only a few dozen people surrounded by mostly empty tables.
According to police investigators, a network of pop stars, businessmen and cops are alleged to have colluded and enabled tax evasion, bribery and prostitution at some of Gangnam’s glitziest clubs. More than 500 people have been investigated for drug use and sexual assault and more than 200 arrested in a nationwide roundup since Feb 25.“If we don’t set this right, we cannot call this a just society,” Moon said.
The string of scandals gained wider attention when several K-pop stars who had ties to some of the clubs were implicated in crimes unrelated to Kim’s arrest.
