Who is Yong Jun-hyung? Ex-Highlight star announces solo debut after 2019s Burning Sun scandal
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: When it comes to the K-pop industry, oftentimes it becomes impossible for idols to revamp themselves after they have had a controversy. In the case of the accused idols from the 2019 Burning Sun scandal, most of the involved individuals are facing backlash over their past actions. With the Burning Sun scandal being one that not many fans of K-pop will ever be able to forget, an idol who confessed his involvement in the controversy has decided to make a comeback that is being met with mixed reactions from fans.
Yong Jun-hyung also known as Junhyung was a former Highlight member who was one of the many names associated with Jung Joon-young's NSFW chatroom. Back then, Junhyung had confessed to watching the illegally filmed molka (spycam videos) and confessed to making derogatory remarks about the said videos. Since Junhyung was not responsible for illegally filming the videos nor was he the one to share them, the Highlight member took a hiatus from his activities as an idol and permanently exited the boy group. Now, four years since, Junhyung has announced his solo debut.
