New report claims Burning Sun & other clubs hid sexual assault, human trafficking and more

The report claims there are teams brought in to clean up after assaults

TRIGGER WARNING: This article contains graphic language about assault and violence.

A new report from Korean tv station MBC's investigative news program Straight, has claimed that several Gangnam nightclubs have operated human trafficking rings that involve the sexual assault of minors and drugged women, as well as torture that has been filmed.

The clubs named in the report including Club Arena and Burning Sun, the two nightclubs with which Seungri is associated as a shareholder and promoter.

In the new report, Straight has claimed that the clubs actively recruited minors, giving them plastic surgery then placing them in the club's prostitution ring, where VIPs could choose from them. Some VVIPs would commit their assaults in an offsite location that were set up for particularly violent rape involving torture.

According to the report, the clubs operated an 'incineration team' whose job it was to chemically clean these locations, namely of drugs and blood. The news team said they have seen footage of these rapes.

It's believed that police were bribed with money and sex to turn a blind eye to the operation, and that Gangnam police would often show up to the door of a club when a report was made, but not enter nor speak to anyone other than the club managers.

You can read a detailed summary of the video report, as translated in the thread below.

"Ok, here's the Burning Sun club thread. Here's the ::TRIGGER WARNING:: which is amply necessary in this instance. If you want a high level view, imagine Pizzagate is real."

• Two of the hottest clubs in Gangnam were "Arena" and "Burning Sun." The newest report about these two clubs came out on "Straight", MBC's investigative news program. (link: http://www.edaily.co.kr/news/read?newsId=02092646622459072&mediaCodeNo=257) edaily.co.kr/news/read?news… The following is a summary of what aired on that program. tweet
• We previously knew Arena and Burning Sun operated a rape station. The "VIPs" could pick any woman in the club, and the club's managers (called "MDs") would drug the woman and bring her to be raped. Obviously that was horrifying enough, but Straight revealed something worse. tweet
• The clubs actively recruited minors, who were usually runaways. The MDs would tell the young girls they could be celebrities, bankroll their plastic surgery, then put them thru the club's prostitution circuit. Some of these girls were not even teenagers. tweet
• The news program showed a pastor who faked his credential to work at a club to look for the runaways. He saw young girls who could leave the prostitution circuit only after severe physical and mental damage. Some had PTSD. One had to surgically remove her damaged womb and ovaries tweet
• For the "VVIPs", the club had an offsite location outside of the club. The offsite location was for particularly violent kinds of rape. tweet
• The clubs operated an "incineration team" whose job was to chemically clean the offsite location. Their main job was to clean up the drugs and blood. Women would be tied up and made to bleed. The news team discovered film of these rapes. tweet
• They even had a doctor on hand to cauterize and administer blood transfusion on the woman who was cut. Everyone was drugged up to high heavens. tweet
• Naturally, covering up all this was a massive operation. The main clientele included former president Lee Myung-bak's son and scions of chaebols. Bribes in the form of money and sex were given to the local police and tax authorities. tweet
• The Gangnam police had an informal policy of not going into the club if anyone called the police in relation to the club. They would simply show up to the door, listen to the club's MDs, and move on. tweet
• The entire Burning Sun stuff became revealed because a good samaritan club-goer saw the MD dragging an unconscious woman somewhere. The club-goer called the police, who showed up on the scene and beat up the guy who called the police. tweet

Burning Sun was originally exposed earlier this year because a male patron saw an unconscious woman being dragged somewhere and reported it, but when the police arrived, they assaulted him rather than investigating.

Since the Straight report was aired in Korea, Burning Sun has become the top trending topic on Twitter there, with three hashtags dominating the conversation.

Seungri worked to distance himself from Burning Sun and Club Arena after the first accusations were made, but it has been revealed over the past months that he was an executive director of the club, a shareholder and invested 225 million won originally. Seungri has denied any knowledge of the inner workings of the nightclub.
