The Burning Sun scandal remains one of the most widely discussed and controversial events in modern K-pop history. Yet years after the story broke, information about the case remains scattered across hundreds of news articles, court records, documentaries, interviews, and social media posts.
Behind the Burning Sun is an independent research archive dedicated to collecting, organizing, and analyzing information related to the scandal and its related cases. Drawing from both Korean and English-language sources, this project seeks to distinguish confirmed facts from rumors, provide historical context, and examine how public narratives surrounding the case developed.
Whether you are completely new to the subject or have followed the case for years, this archive aims to provide a clear, accessible resource for understanding the events, individuals, legal proceedings, and cultural issues connected to the scandal.
