Moon Jun-young, BJ Haru and ‘Spawn’ exposed after drunk driving scandal

Moon Joon-young

Moon Jun-young, a former member of the group Empire’s Children, is continuing the battle to expose the mud with BJ Haru, an internet broadcast host. When BJ Haru insisted, “Moon Joon-young refused to confess, he requested a refund of the star balloon (Afreeca TV sponsorship system),” he said, “It’s a lie. I will ask you to take legal responsibility.”

The incident started on the 21st, when Haru posted on his YouTube channel, ‘I finally got a refund. It was a video titled ‘I hope you don’t do this anymore’. In this video, Haru claimed that a famous idol group member Mr. A talked about her entertainment business and wooed her. She later declined the confession, she said, and she was asked for a refund for the star balloons. She said one day she “felt a bit intimidating. I felt bad for taking me too lightly,” she said.

In response, netizens speculated that Mr. A’s identity was Moon Jun-young. There were also suspicions that Moon Jun-young offered Haru a ‘spawn’.

Then, on his YouTube channel bulletin board, Moon Jun-young claimed that Haru was supplying inappropriate videos to some viewers, saying, ‘I will reveal everything that happened’.

He also denied the allegation that he offered to ‘spawn’ Haru. ‘In real time, we are capturing speculations, false facts, defamation, imitations, false rumors, remarks of Kaderasik, or people who mention their real names. I will ask for a strong legal punishment. They say they can’t sue, but if they can’t, I promise to leave Children of the Empire.”

Moon Jun-young is causing controversy one after another until this revelation, following the previous drunk driving.

At around 1:46 am on the 7th, he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving near Eonju-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Moon Joon-young’s blood alcohol level was above 0.08%, which is the level of driver’s license revocation. At that time, while driving in the reverse direction on a one-way road, he got into an argument with the driver of a vehicle coming from the other side, and was caught by a driver who suspected drunk driving. When the incident became known, Jun-young Moon admitted to the charge of drunk driving, but also claimed that he had been threatened by blackmail from the drunk driving reporter.
