In the late 90s and early 2000s, Yoo Seung Jun was very popular in Korea and loved by various groups as a singer and musician. It seemed like everyone knew Yoo Seung Jun back then. He was also a role model for many people and promised to fulfill his duty as a good citizen by serving in the military. The Korean military even made him an ambassador.

When it was time for him to enlist in the military, Yoo Seung Jun changed his citizenship and became an American, which automatically exempted him from military service. Of course, Korean people immediately criticized him harshly. He was also asked to leave South Korea because the government considered him a traitor. Not only that, Yoo Seung Jun was also banned from returning to South Korea.

Since then, Yoo Seung Jun has pursued his career in China. He has also made numerous apology videos in hopes of being allowed to return to South Korea. But until now, the Korean public has not forgiven him.

2. Jung Joon Young

Since participating in a talent search show, the beautiful voice of Jung Joon Young has been recognized and loved by many people. He gained more fans after appearing on a variety show, which also made him more well-known to the public.

However, in 2019, it was revealed that Jung Joon Young had committed sexual harassment against many women, even recording their sexual encounters and spreading the videos in a group chat. He did all of this without the knowledge of the women involved. Jung Joon Young had to serve time in prison because of this.

3. MC Mong

MC Mong was extremely popular in South Korea around the 2000s. Almost all of his songs became hits. But in 2010, he faced severe criticism for allegedly intentionally extracting some of his teeth to avoid passing the health examination and being exempted from mandatory military service.

MC Mong vehemently denied these allegations, but the public no longer cared. Even now, when he appears on television, he still receives criticism.

4. Iron

Iron drew attention from viewers after becoming the runner-up on the show Show Me The Money 3 due to his skills as a rapper and unique voice. However, he received a lot of criticism afterwards.

The song ROLL, which is included in his first album, received backlash because its lyrics were considered to support rape. After that, the public gave even harsher criticism after he was found guilty of physically abusing his own girlfriend.
