The BBC documentary reveals the scandalous online chat rooms where Korean idols and celebrities are involved in sharing explicit content among one anotherA new BBC documentary titled Burning Sun: Exposing the Secret K-Pop Chat Groups has brought back anger about the upsetting Burning Sun scandal from 2019 in Korea. It talks about two Korean female journalists who investigated and uncovered corruption and abuse.

It also sheds light on the bravery of the journalists who faced online harassment and death threats for bringing the story to light. It also exposes the collusion between some celebrities and the police force, who allegedly turned a blind eye to the crimes. The documentary also showed the late K-pop idol Goo Hara’s immense role in giving key details in the scandal.

However, after sharing these details, Hara took her own life on November 29, at the age of 28. The incident took place within a mere two months following the tragic passing of K-pop artist Choi Jin-ri, also known as Sulli, who was discovered dead in an apparent suicide on October 14.
