On November 15, it was revealed that JYJ‘s Kim Junsu had been a victim of extortion.
An Afreeca streamer allegedly extorted over ₩800 million KRW (about $569,000 USD) from Kim Junsu in 101 instances between September 2020 and October 2024.

Kim Junsu Emphasizes He Is The Victim Of The Female Streamer’s Threats
Junsu has proclaimed his innocence, but this incident has led to discussions about the idol and his works, including a song from his 2015 mini-album Yesterday.
“Silk Road feat. BewhY” is the album’s fifth track and uses Silk Road as a euphemism for a woman’s private parts.
Specifically, the lyrics imply that it is the woman’s first time having sex as Junsu attempts to ease her nerves.
We’ve walked together for a long time, holding your hand
Setting off together, I got here before anyone else.Perhaps this is something you’ve never experienced before,
Something you only heard about from a friend.
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.Don’t be shy, come closer to me,
Open the tightly shut silk road for us.
Don’t be nervous, loosen your legs,
Trust me, lie down comfortably and close your eyes.— “Silk Road” lyrics
These lyrics were discussed on a viral forum post, where netizens admitted to getting “the ick” over them.
- “Forget the lyrics; the melody itself is nauseating. It feels like an unknown old man is undressing me with his eyes right in front of me.”
- “Every time I see this, I feel like throwing up. Last time, it was so disgusting I barely managed to erase it from my mind…”
- “Wow, this song is like digging up a grave… I had to turn it off because it was so revolting.”
- “Oh… I want to wash out my eyes and ears…”
- “I usually have a strong stomach, but damn, this is incredibly disgusting. It’s making me feel queasy.”
- “Wow, is this an original song??? ‘The sighs of Westerners seeing Eastern silk for the first time’ – what on earth does that even mean? Wow, I’ve never heard anything like this; it’s insane.”
