 Article: Yong Junhyung-ssi, why do you expect us to think it's okay that Jung Junyoung sent you illegal content through a personal Katalk message?

[+444, -3] I still don't get why Zico's allowed to promote like nothing ever happened. I noticed 'The Season's viewer ratings are a total flop.

- [+66] Wish people would stop consuming his content. Can't stand him.

- [+52] Ugh, Zico grosses me out, especially the way he acts like he had nothing to do with this scandal. I heard he's actually even closer friend to Jung Junyoung than Yong Junhyung ever was. How could you not be close when you're going to his house and going through his phone?

- [+44] Yeah, I don't like him either

- [+3] And yet the media makes him out to be a success, as if we didn't know he's from Hybe

[+293, -6] ㅋㅋ Jung Junyoung may be trash but I don't think he's stupid enough to be sending illegal material to just anyone on his contact list ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ the fact that he chose you of all people to send a personal Katalk message to is enough reason for you to be canceled ㅋ so shameless

[+128, -6] So you did see a video? Just once and that was it? The problem isn't once or twice, it's that you were an accomplice in his behavior. Please just keep you and Hyuna's disgusting relationship private and stay out of the media.

[+77, -3] The title is well worded ㅋㅋㅋ

[+32, 81] ?? I mean, he claims he didn't know what the context of the video was and just played it and turned it off right away. All of you hating on him would need proof that he knew what the video was before playing it, no?

- [+72] Forensic evidence was already released. He himself confirmed that he had inappropriate conversations with Jung Junyoung and left B2ST voluntarily because of it. I think he knew that if he tried denying it, people would just release the Katalk conversations straight up, so he knew to just bow out before humiliating himself further.

- [+48] Don't with me right now, he already left B2ST once because he admitted he said some inappropriate things about that video, what more is there to say????? ^^

- [+26, -2] Isn't the fact that he admitted to having inappropriate conversations with Jung Junyoung proof already that he knew exactly what the video was about? And if he is so innocent like he's claiming now, where was this statement back then? Why'd he leave his group and run away to the army?

[+15, -1] At the time of the scandal, MBC's 'New Desk' revealed the members in the Katalk room to be Seungri, Jung Junyoung, Roy Kim, Kangin, Lee Jonghyun, Yong Junhyung, Jung Jinwoon, Choi Jonghoon, Eddy Kim, and model Lee Chulwoo.

[+10, -0] Dumb Hyuna picking up Goo Hara's trash

[+10, -0] The more he tries to clarify this, the worse it's getting for him. Obviously Jung Junyoung specifically chose you to send that video to because he knew you were birds of a feather with him...

[+7, -0] Funny how he had no problem ignoring this entire scandal and living life like he didn't care only until BBC released that documentary. Why's he crawling back out only now and crying about how this is unfair?

[+4, -1] Okay, but what about Zico?? At least Yong Junhyung can plead that he didn't voluntarily seek it out (nor did he reject it once he was given it) but Zico admitted to personally going over to Jung Junyoung's home and going through his phone???????

[+3, -0] All things aside, I don't think I could handle it as a parent if my daughter was dating someone like this ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[+3, -0] His only way out of this would've been if he had reported the text message immediately after receiving it. Turning a blind eye out of loyalty makes him an accomplice..

[+134] It's obvious he's trying to use Go Jun Hee as timing for him to try and be swept under her rug by acting like he really did just click on a video he had no idea what it was about

[+173] You did not just randomly click on a video. You knew what that group was doing. If you saw the message history, he was reacting and playing along with them.

[+7] The court already said your conversation with the group was inappropriate... so why are you trying to rewrite history now...?

[+31] Just please stay out of the media

[+72] Why say this only now?

[+18] Quiet all this time why?

[+95] It's already too late for you
