The Burning Sun Scandal | 2018

from Heinous – An Asian True Crime Podcast · host Mediacorp

It all unraveled from a seemingly minor altercation in November 2018. Kim Sang-Kyo noticed a woman struggling and tried to help, only to be forcefully removed by security and beaten outside Seoul's infamous nightclub, Burning Sun. But when Kim tried to report the incident to police, he was repeatedly stonewalled and ignored, pushing him to seek the support of netizens and the media. This would ultimately lead to a turning point in January 2019, when an investigative television series picked up his story, and exposed the festering rot within.   Join your fellow Heinous fans and interact with the team at our website or through our socials (IG, TikTok) @heinous_1upmedia. - Love Heinous?
