Zico clarifies his story involving Jung Joon Young's 'golden phone' + not in contact w/Jung Joon Young anymore

AKP STAFF

On March 13, Zico took to his Instagram Story to draw a stern line between him and Jung Joon Young

Zico wrote:

"The story of the cellphone I mentioned on broadcast is entirely unrelated to the current scandal. All I saw through this cellphone in question was a list of contacts, and it has been a long time since I've been in touch [with Jung Joon Young] personally. Please refrain from jumping to any suspicions, and against any spread of malicious comments or false rumors, I will respond with strict legal action."

Due to the ongoing scandal involving Jung Joon Young's Kakaochat room, many celebrities are suffering from defamation damages as a result of speculations and rumors online.

He's the one who made it sound like a big event to go through this phone. Who's gonna sit there and 'have fun' only looking at numbers and names on a phone?

None of us know what he did or didn't see, but I think it's pretty obvious that no one just grabs someone's phone to only look through the contact list. I could understand if he was checking to see if he had certain people's numbers, but then the #1 thing everybody looks for is pictures. However, as we can only speculate, people need to remember that the proper authorities (and thankfully not just the ones who were being bribed) have the information they need. If Zico's on that list, it will come out and he'll be questioned. Besides him, I think people need to realize that this probably wasn't THAT MUCH of a hidden secret amongst certain circles. This thing goes too big, beyond Seungri and even JJY, for some people to not have known about it. For people asking why he's speaking up now- this thing is huge over there, and the moment a person's name gets linked to it, it can cost them money and career advancement. Not defending Zico or pointing a finger at him, but things like this can really tank your marketability, especially for someone like him who's starting his own label.
