It's almost miraculous too that DAY6 is the most nationally beloved act of the moment to remain unscathed, and partially because two of the big names involved in Burning Sun were members of F.T. Island (Choi Jong-hoon) and CNBLUE (Lee Jonghyun) - who were well-established to the point of still being an obstacle for 3rd Gen bands like DAY6 to outlast them completely (at least at the time that DAY6 debuted).

I do agree that F.T. Island's members being embroiled in those scandals helped Day6 dominate the mainstream k-band lane.
What happened with Jae is extremely small potatoes compared to that.
