With the release of a documentary re-examining the Burning Sun scandal, Zico is experiencing significant backlash.
This controversy stems from Zico’s appearance on the MBC variety show Radio Star in January 2016, nearly three years before the Burning Sun scandal broke. On the show, Zico mentioned, “Jung Joon Young has a ‘golden phone,’ which is used solely for texts. It’s like a Pokémon collection, but in a contacts-only version.” He then asked Jung, “You don’t have it anymore, right?” to which Jung replied, “I still have it. Zico visits my house and searches for it, reading through it like it’s his own.”

Despite the backlash, Zico has no charges related to the Burning Sun scandal or Jung Joon Young’s illegal filming and distribution case.
