'Burning Sun' Reporter states that he will not be killed but netizens fear for his life

Oh Hyuk Jin is the reporter that brought the news of corruption and other illegal activities at 'Burning Sun' into the public eye. 

The reporter has now taken to his Instagram-account @arkham_er to talk about this ongoing case and it has raised a lot of questions. He made it public with the KakaoTalk photo above of Noh Seung Il, that he's receiving help from the famous reporter and former director of the K Sports Foundation. Noh Seung Il has a track record as the first journalist that uncovered corruption about Choi Soon Sil's corruption scandal amongst the richest 1% in the Korean society. His reporting on this later lead to the 20-year sentence for Choi Soon Sil.

He starts off by writing that the message is for those who are worried about him. He says that if anything will happen to him, then Noh Seung Il will bring down justice in this case and that the reporter is close to him as a brother. He also states "Don’t worry, there won’t be any staged suicides or murders that will happen to me." He then goes on thanking Noh Seung Il for being the one who has made him go all in like a mad dog. He also says sorry to drag him into the case because Noh Seung Il is going through a lot and having a hard time. He says that he didn't want this case to go so far "But the deeper I dig, the dirtier the truth is. Despite other agency’s seniors advising me to back off a little bit or watch out for myself, here I am and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without SeungIl…” He ends his message by stating that no matter what kind of danger and threats that will come their way they will continue working, and for his close friends to understand that even though he'll be unreachable they don’t need to worry.

The reactions from netizens have been that they suspect him to already have received death threats for his refusal to stop digging more into the story. According to netizens, his statement about the truth being really dirty makes the corruption seem much worse than the stories covered in the news so far. Netizens are now afraid for Oh Hyuk Jin's life and have been sending a lot of support to him for his work.

Previous Oh Hyuk Jin's post, the Burning Sun assault victim took to his Instagram-account @saint.kyo and claimed that his mother had been threatened by gangster's to reach a settlement.

Oh Hyuk Jin's message in korean:

저의 신변에 대해 걱정하시는 분들이 많아서 글을 남깁니다

저 엿되면 이분이 움직입니다

최순실 게이트의 최초 폭로자인 노승일 전 k스포츠재단 부장은 저와 개인적으로 형 동생하면서 지내는 사이입니다 
걱정마세요 자살 당하거나 죽는 일 없을 겁니다

승일이형이 있기에 미친 듯이 지랄하는 겁니다

형에게는 개인적으로 미안해요 요즘 고생하는데.... 내가 이런 글까지 써야되나.....;;;; 이렇게 까지는 안 할라 그랬는데....삼성 취재할 때만 도움 받을 줄 알았는데 생각 이상으로 엿같고 더럽다.... 난 각오했다 
타 언론사들이 선배들이 "야 너 적당히 해 임마 걱정돼..." "알잖아 선배 나 이대로 못 끝내는거...걔네들 어떻게든 조치 취해놔야해..." 솔직히 저 이 형 없었으면 감당 못했어요...패기나 독기도 이 형한테 배운거에요... 저와 개인적으로 친한 지인들에게.... "연락 못받아도 이해해줘라 그리고 걱정마라"


Last year 94 journalist were killed for doing their jobs. Let's all be thankful for those journalists in our world that is trying to tell the truth, no matter what risks they faces. We should all be thankful for this, no matter what our opinion is on the ongoing scandal.

As someone who comes from a country that has the influence of drug lords I am real thankful for reporters who keep investigating and pushing for the truth in so many ways, risking their lifes for the people. They're always on my prayers.


It's very common and sad to see news about reporters going missing or found dead beucase they were trying to bring some justice on us.
