One time, the group chat Roy Kim was a part of was talking about nude photos of a female celebrity (Her identity wasn't revealed).
However, Roy Kim came across evidence in a blog post that suggested the pictures were edited, and he shared that post to the group chat.
The problem was that the post he shared contained an explicit image. It seemed like a nude picture that was edited with the face of a female celebrity.
Regardless of the reasons, him sharing content that contained an explicit image led to him being investigated for sharing obscene materials.
Ultimately, while he was technically guilty, the case was considered not significant enough to proceed, so it ended with a suspended indictment. In simpler terms, his case wasn't deemed a big deal, so he was cautioned and the case was closed.
Roy Kim and his agency expressed remorse for their reckless actions, regardless of their intentions.
During his period of reflection, he enlisted in the military and decided to return to the industry after his service.
The problem was that this incident happened right when the whole country was talking about Burning Sun. So naturally, people started wondering if Roy Kim was also being investigated for sharing inappropriate stuff in such chat groups. Even now, if you look at news articles or anything else, you'll often see Roy Kim's name mentioned alongside Jung Joon-young and Seungri, as if they were all being prosecuted together for spreading inappropriate content.
