HIGHLIGHT’s Yong Junhyung Denies He Is Other Singer In Hidden Camera Chatroom

Around Us Entertainment has officially responded to rumors that HIGHLIGHT‘s Yong Junhyung is one of the celebrities in the KakaoTalk chatroom where hidden camera footage was shared.

SBS FunE, who has been spearheading the Burning Sun Case, recently reported that Seungri and 2 other male singers shared illegally filmed hidden camera videos of women who were secretly filmed. They confirmed this by obtaining a KakaoTalk chat log from  January 9, 2016.

Reports later labeled one of the 2 male singers in the chatroom as “singer Yong.” Since Yong is not a common family name in Korea, netizens soon began speculating that “singer Yong” was HIGHLIGHT’s Yong Junhyung.

Junhyung’s agency Around Us Entertainment has recently issued a statement denying that the singer involved in the chatroom was Junhyung.

“We have confirmed ourselves that ‘singer Yong’ is not Yong Junhyung. It is a groundless rumor.”

Currently, investigations into the chatroom are ongoing as new evidence continues coming to light.
