'Gangnam style' sex crime: K-pop scandals uncover dark side of Seoul's flashiest districtSouth Korean singer Jung Joon-young arrives for questioning on accusations of illicitly taping and sharing sex videos on social media, at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency in Seoul, South Korea. But a wave of sex crimes and other illegal activity has revealed a dark underbelly in the district, driving club-goers and celebrities away. “There aren’t many people coming to Gangnam (clubs) right now,” a worker told Reuters at a club that was relatively quiet, despite not being implicated in any of the allegations. President Moon Jae-in called for a thorough investigation, saying the Gangnam club cases suggest possible collusion between police, tax authorities and a new privileged class including celebrities to engage in illegal operations. At least one club promoter was arrested for distributing illegal sex videos.
