This is a short recap to what happened in 2019. Well, let me warn you first, since this year might be the "worst" year of many kpop fans out there in the world. Especially if you're a stan of YG entertainment who actually produce a lot of good music and style. Without further ado, let's see what's happening in this 2019.
1. DRUGS and PROSTITUTION scandal, as well as all the BAD THINGS
This including all criminal act like money laundering, illegal prostitution, drugs use, drugs rape, sexual assault and assault under influence. Many idols, boy group member, and even actress already charged with this issues. If we want to start from the big one, it will be Seungri case, ex Bigbang member who decide to retire from entertainment industry after his "Burning Sun" scandal got big. In short, Seungri was officially charged with various criminal action. According to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Seungri faces charges related to embezzlement, destruction of evidence, violation of laws on sex trade, sexual crimes and food hygiene. Seungri is suspected of procuring prostitution for personal and business acquaintances from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan from December 2015 to January 2016. He is also suspected of buying sex himself. This case has been referred to prosecutors for further development
This "Burning sun" led to another domino effect which eventually bring down several "big names" down. The popular "troublesome chat group" who is then accused as illegally shared sexual content (hidden sex taping) and drug rape is next. Some stars who got caught are jung joon young, FT Island Jong hyun, CN BLUE Jong hyun, Roy kim, Singers Jeong Jinwood and Kangin, ex super junior member.
This might not be enough, because after this scandal, another big name from YG entertainment popped out, and it turns out as B.I from Ikon 's leader. He was charged for drug scandal, get caught buying and using the drugs. This scandal led to his withdrawal from the group and another early retirement. This accumulative scandal let YG stock dropped and to save it, the current CEO, Yang Hyun Suk and his brother, Yang Min Suk steps down as CEO and lead director.
