On May 19, BBC released the documentary "Burning Sun: Exposing Kpop's Secret Chat Groups".

The film reveals the shocking Burning Sun case and the KakaoTalk chat group involving Seungri (former BigBang member) 5 years ago.

Notably, Lee Cheol Woo is one of the members of the chat group. The actor is currently known for his supporting role as Hyung Gu - a senior on the swimming team of the male lead Byeon Woo Seok in the movie "Running on Your Back".

This information quickly became a hot topic on social networking forums. Fans expressed concern about Lee Cheol Woo's closeness with other actors, especially Byeon Woo Seok. Some people said that the incident would negatively affect the film as well as the reputation of the actors.

Many people are even calling on Byeon Woo Seok to stay away from Lee Cheol Woo to avoid getting involved in this scandal.

Lee Cheol Woo's name emerged in the scandal when an investigation revealed that the actor was involved in a secret chat room. Lee Cheol Woo's agency asserted that although the actor was a member of the chat room, he did not engage in any criminal activities.

Since Lee Cheol Woo is not as famous as the other members, he quickly escaped the scandal. The actor returned to the screen in 2020 with roles in "Hush", "Love Is For Suckers" and most recently "Lovely Runner".

Burning Sun was a scandal that rocked the entertainment industry in 2018. The case caused outrage when a group of celebrities, led by Seungri - a former member of Bigbang, sexually assaulted and exploited many women.

Illegal images of women were filmed and posted to a group chat room, which included many male celebrities, including Lee Cheol Woo.
