Yunho sparked a controversy when he violated social distancing rules. At the end of February, he was caught staying at a restaurant until midnight when business hours are limited to 10 pm.

He expressed his apology through his Instagram and wrote, “I am very ashamed of and angry with myself for being unable to abide by the business hour restrictions when meeting with my friends.”

However, on the 12th, MBC’s Newsdesk reported that officials caught Yunho at an illegal KTV bar. Yunho’s friends got into a physical fight with the police to help Yunho flee the scene. The news report shocked people by sharing the singer’s attempt to escape the scene. However, SM Entertainment refuted, stating that Yunho visited the place for the first time per his friend’s request for advice. They asserted that he never tried to flee the scene and that no female employee was with him. Nevertheless, Yunho, the “icon of passion,” disappointed the public by violating social distancing regulations at an illegal business.

School violence scandals are still an ongoing issue in the entertainment industry. Park Hye Soo and Jo Byun Gyu, who had previously asserted school violence, actively denied all allegations in their social media accounts. But the controversy maintains parallel lines as the alleged victims’ positions continue to be at odds with the celebrities. Apart from refuting the allegations on social media, the two are taking legal actions. Hong Hyun Hee, Jo Han Sun, Dong Ha, and Shim Eun Woo also receive allegations of school violence. Hong Hyun Hee immediately denied the claims and asked for the person who posted the article against her to meet up. Her agency filed a complaint right away. The case came to an end when the alleged victim apologized to Hong Hyun Hee, saying that there was a memory error.

Rumors of discord between Shinhwa, the long-running group in the K-pop scene, shocked the fans. On the 14th, the group’s internal conflict went viral when Eric posted a lengthy article on his Instagram. He tagged Kim Dong Wan in the post. He wrote, “(Kim Dong Wan) said he couldn’t proceed (Shinhwa promotions) because the production team couldn’t reach me. I will tell you my side of the story. Ever since the ‘Sniper’ promotions, he wasn’t in our group chat for six years, and he never gave me his new phone number after blocking me.” Kim Dong Wan’s pessimistic remarks about future Shinhwa activities during his Clubhouse broadcast allegedly started the dispute. Later, Kim commented on Eric’s post, “I talked to Andy on the phone. Let’s the three of us meet tomorrow and talk. I’ll go to Seoul, so let’s talk in person.”
