In the documentary, the video of Li Shengli forcibly dragging and insulting a woman at a party was made public, causing public outrage among netizens, and related topics rushed to the top of Weibo's hot search. Netizens shouted: It's too scary!
Lee Shengli was the central figure in the incident, and he was a member of the top Korean boy band BIGBANG. On May 26, 2022, after three years of investigation and evidence collection, South Korea's "Shenglimen" announced that Li Shengli was suspected of nine crimes including sexual assault, drug abuse, gambling, money laundering, and gang-related crimes, but was finally sentenced to only 1 year and 6 months. At that time, Li Shengli said that he would continue to appeal in an attempt to "get away with the crime perfectly".

Many netizens sarcastically said that it was really "innocent and victorious".
In fact, as early as May 2019, when the case was tried for the first time, Li Shengli seemed to expect that he would be able to "get out of the way", and he couldn't help but show a smile. According to media reports, when Li Shengli went to the investigation site, he said that he still had the leisure to go to the makeup studio to make up first, and he also kept touching up his makeup on the way to dress himself up brightly.
Brave Goo Hara
According to reporters, the late actress Goo Hara played a decisive role in exposing the shady scene. Back then, when the reporter was unable to find the key figure in the case related to Li Shengli, the "police chief", it was Gu Hara who took the initiative to contact the reporter to help find the true identity of the "police chief" and persuade Choi Jong-hoon to provide clues.
The reporter was surprised when he received a call from Gu Hara offering to help. "Because she knows Shengli, Jung Junying and others, and she has been familiar with Choi Jong-hoon since she was a trainee." Goo Hara said she had seen a lot of "abnormal things" on their phones and asked how she could help uncover the truth.
Goo Hara's older brother, Goo Ho-in, revealed that he was there when his sister was on the phone and heard the whole process. Choi Jong-hoon confessed his identity as a police officer who colluded with Shengli and others, and because of Goo Hara's help, the reporter's next report succeeded in attracting attention to the whole incident.
After the death of Goo Hara's friend Shirley, the reporter was very worried about Goo Hara's state and sent her a message: "Hara, you are a very handsome and brave woman, I want you to be happy." Hara replied to her: "I'm fine, I'll try to live well." However, on November 24, 2019, the police found her dead at home at the age of 28.
At present, in addition to Li Shengli, who was released from prison in February last year, Zheng Junying was sentenced to five years in prison on suspicion of collective sexual violence and spreading illegal filming, and was released from prison in March this year.
Jung Jun-young
Choi was also sentenced to two years and six months in prison and was released from prison in November 2021.
Choi Jong-hoon
Chief of Police Yoon Kyu-geun, who was mentioned in the documentary and suspected of colluding with them, was acquitted.
However, this terrible thing did not disappear with the conclusion of the Burning Sun case. Relevant personnel said that what happened in Burning Sun back then is still happening in other nightclubs in Gangnam.
