Zico’s Past ‘Disgusting’ Remarks Resurface Amid Ongoing Controversy: ‘He Trashed His Own Image
Zico is currently facing backlash from the K-pop community, as he is being accused of being the perpetrator behind the break-in at the late Goo Hara’s house. Netizens have also joined the criticism towards the idol due to his suspected involvement in the infamous Burning Sun scandal of 2019.
On June 24, a group of internet users created a thread on a community website entitled, “Do You Find Zico Disgusting?“The post included a screenshot from a 2016 episode of MBC’s “Radio Star”featuring Zico and Jung Joon Young.
To provide further context, Zico revealed that Jung Joon Young owned a private “golden phone”that he exclusively used for KakaoTalk. This sparked suspicions among netizens that the “golden phone”mentioned on the talk show was the same device used to distribute illicit videos of the victims from the Burning Sun scandal.
On March 13, 2019, Zico clarified the situation by releasing a handwritten letter, explaining that his “golden phone”remark was unrelated to the Burning Sun scandal.
“All I saw on the phone was a list of contacts from my acquaintances, and it had been a long time since I had communicated privately. Please refrain from premature speculation, and we will respond strongly to malicious comments and the spread of false facts.”
The information was shared by the original poster (OP):

Translation:
“Hyung, where’s your golden phone?”
“He uses it as if it’s his”
“If you think of Zico, you’d think automatically of his golden phone. He’s the one who trashed his own image so why is he blaming others? And his fans are a bunch of mentally ill gang.”
“He’s the one who wanted that rough gangster-like image for himself and now he wants to pretend he’s all innocent and trying hard to rebuild his image. He’s freaking disgusting.”
The post has currently received 1,034 upvotes, catching the attention of netizens. Many commenters expressed their disgust towards Zico and his association with Jung Joon Young, finding it revolting.
In the meantime, some individuals were repulsed by his previous discussion with Choi Taejoon regarding the subject of pornography.
“I honestly want to vote up this post 100 times. You’ve said everything I wanted to say.”
“Aside from the fact that he’s suspected of stealing Goo Hara’s safe, he’s the one who went around talking about how he’s Jung Joon Young’s best friend, he’s simply trash.”
“Why does he feel like the victim now?”
“The fact that he was one of Jung Joon Young’s closest friends is already disgusting.”
“For real, his group’s fangirls need to stop calling him Zi-father of whatever bulls**t to praise him.”

Zico: “Last time there was a porn you wanted me to show you, do you want me to show it on my phone?”
Zico: “Hyung likes the ‘imprisoned’ stuff.”
Taejoon: “And you like the ‘tied’ stuff.”
Taejoon: “But the site you sent me was closed down!”
“I truly hope there is a hell for these people to burn in.”
“Can’t believe they made a porn talk on national TV and people watched this, found it funny, never criticized and continued to support with full heart.”
