Episode 166: The Korean Milk Princess & Burning Sun Sex Scandal

---

The Burning Sun scandal exposed some of the most beloved K-Pop idols to be depraved predators. The Burning Sun was a popular club.

The type of club where rich men ruled. If you wanted a rare bottle of champagne. They would get it. If you wanted the club to stay open an extra hour. They would do it.

If you wanted the bartenders to roofie a random girl’s drink so that you could have her escorted into your private room to assault… they would do it.

The Burning Sun exposed a lot - it would even take down one of the richest women in Korea. The Milk Princess.
