Apparently disgraced and likely criminally culpable K-singer Jung Joon Young had over 200,000 texts on his phone and had multiple phones, so the fallout will likely spread from the police investigation and retrieval of his communications. The next to fall is his 1N2D (1 Night, 2 Day) cast members actor Cha Tae Hyun and comedian Kim Jun Ho. Jung Joon Young’s texts from 2016 revealed that the two were gambling on a golf game in Thailand and betting exorbitant amounts of money. It is illegal for a South Korean to gamble, whether domestically or overseas, and in any fashion not just card games or casino gambling. Gambling is a huge vice in Asian countries and I’m not surprised stars who make a lot of money and travel overseas frequently for work (filming or CFs) to places where gambling is legal would partake in it. Right now only Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Jun Ho are in trouble, and apparently the PD of 1N2D knew about the gambling and didn’t do anything about it so he may be in hot water too.

Dont you mean 2 Days & 1 Night? Lol
In Hangul it’s 1박 2 일 or 1 night and 2 days, so Koala is actually right
She said 2 nights and 1 day
For you guys information it was the old PDnim. I really hope Cha Tae Hyun and Kim Junho wont get kicked out from 2days 1night. Its best for the crew of 2D1N to have a hiatus a while and then start a whole new season 4. Its for the best, but who knows if the knetizen are wiling.
But Cha Taehyun and Kim Junho voluntarily step down from all of their programs. I hope kbs cast them again.
Some were fired or blacklisted for less than that . Gambling is illegal , they knew it, they should face the conséquences.
Wow. Domino effect.
Wow! If Wreck It Ralph killed the internet, JJY will go down as the “man” who brought down K-ent! He infected anyone who has had contact with him it seems! K-ent needs an anti-virus asap! Hopefully in the form of justice.
Keeping up with these news makes me feel like I am watching a Kdrama and am waiting for the next episode! What will happen next! Who else will make a cameo?!
Jung joon young became Edison Chen Korea? Rumored so many female celebrity being victims although they are deny reports but I'm sure that rumors was true. Just cut off his hand and his dick so he can't make another video tape. This guy's is sick, sex addiction, scumbag etc. 1D2N members now about golden phone but keep silent. Didn't believe Cha tae hyun involved with jjy scandal. Guest you can't believe with celebrity image on TV.
He is even worse, the reports shows chats of drugging and plans of raping girls.
Edison Chen as much of a douchebag as he is, I have not heard of him drugging the girls. I think they were willing and young and stupid to have him take pictures and videos. I have not followed the news of Edison Chen, just when that scandal hit and all the young big name Hong Kong starlets were named.
It is awful and bad, but what JJY and his group chat buddies did was predatory and awful. They need to have their court time. I honestly hope that the police and any law enforcement agency will not shield them and let them go to jail.
I was partially sympathizing the Beast/Highlight guy, but if he was part of the chat and actually read and knew of what what going on in the chat, then he should be punished as well. After reading about the translation of the chats, I am absolutely horrified that these awful men were looked up by young girl fans.
The people Edison Chen slept with consented to being filmed. There’s a difference. It was just unfortunate that the repairman who fixed his laptop released these photos to the public.
At least with Edison Chen, all the people he slept with & took pics/vids with were all consensual partners.
OMG I'm shocked Cha Tae Hyun broke the law too. I thought he was a super clean and good role model because I always hear Song Joong Ki praising him with such respect. Saying he is Joong Ki inspired sunbae.
Gambling is not that much of a big deal. Probably give them a fine and be done with. I absolutely understand and do not like gambling. Cha Tae Hyun is human, he makes mistakes. Every one makes mistakes, the point is how much harm to others are the mistakes. As much as I do not like gambling, I do find people that do gambling such as Fantasy Football or going to Las Vegas Casinos.
Check news sources. Cha Tae Hyun confirmed that the texts were real. HOWEVER, contrary to reports--- nothing was done overseas.
1) he played golf in Korea
2) bet money with Kim Junho. (Approximately $1000-2500, not "exhorbant" amounts)
3) after "winnings", he returned the money.
4) basically it was supposed to be a fun game between friends.
Given that he is a public figure, he has taken responsibility of the ramifications of his actions and stepped down from all his programs immediately.
Bottom line, no one is perfect. This guy is decent, just happened to be exposed in a harsher light than deserved given everything else that is happening in K-ent.
Obviously, mistakes were made. But unfairly painting a worse picture than deserved is unnecessary.
Absolutely.
Going to casino on ocassion basis is not gambling per se. It’s just another form of recreation. If you bet your house and days income on habitual basis, then that is gambling.
Btw the media’s irresponsible reporting and the keyboard warriors are the real killers if k-ent
Where did they get the information? Are the police leaking the information to the media or someone illegally shared information from JYY phone.
