The spread of false information and malicious comments root from May 4th’s episode of The It’s Know. The program reported that Burning Sun held an event for a cosmetic brand last November where an actress in her 30’s attended and showed suspicious behavior. An affiliate of Burning Sun stated that it looked as if she had taken drugs.

Her eyes looked like they were bloodshot. She was also drooling.

After the broadcast, netizens began speculating through various portal websites and online communities that the actress in question was Han Hyo Joo, Kim Go Eun or Jung Eun Chae.

Han Hyo Joo and Kim Go Eun’s agency, BH Entertainment, denied accusations claiming that both actresses did not attend the event. Jung Eun Chae also stated that she was not related to the Burning Sun incident in any way.
