Recently, a user on X shared a post that quickly went viral online.
Alongside a photo of Jung Joon-young in a club, the writer recounted, "Guys, I ran into Jung Joon-young in Lyon. You know, that guy who was involved in the Burning Sun scandal."

"After he left, another guy came up to me and asked if I knew who the person I was just talking to was. He mentioned he's a very famous singer in Korea. I looked back at 'Jun' and saw him flirting with some girls in the club. They looked quite young. He was even seen kissing one of them. I thought about warning her, but decided against it to avoid causing her unwanted attention."
"When 'Jun' and I said our goodbyes, he actually asked for my Instagram. He started following me the next day. His account was private with just four followers. He messaged me saying he's considering opening a new Korean restaurant in Lyon. Currently, he's looking for a job in Europe, but struggling to find one. He told me that he's heading to Switzerland tomorrow. He speaks basic French. Just a heads-up to everyone, be cautious," they added.

It was previously reported that Jung Joon-young's attempt to open a restaurant in Paris in 2018 was disrupted due to the Burning Sun scandal in 2019.
In 2019, Jung Joon-young was imprisoned for rape and the distribution of videos showing his sexual activities with women.
After serving a 5-year sentence, he was released this March.
