Illegally-Run Adult Entertainment Business?
According to the MBC report, there were four people including a female worker of the business drinking along with Yunho. The bar is situated in Cheongdamdong. When cops visited the place after 10 PM, Yunho's acquaintances started using force and tried to stall the cops from coming inside, to protect the singer's identity. Yunho's acquaintances are likely to be charged with obstruction of justice.
MBC report also claimed that the business was registered as a general restaurant in Gangnam. But it was illegally operating as an adult entertainment business. The report stated that there was no sign board outside about the business that was operating on the fourth floor of a commercial building. Even the windows were opaque.

MBC got an entry inside the business and revealed that several women and other employees were seen inside the building.

Yuno released a statement apologizing for violating the social distancing rules. His statement read: "Hello, this is Jung Yunho. I'm very sorry. I ended up causing disappointment to all those who trusted me and cheered me on. I'm also sorry towards the medical professionals who've been working hard during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all of you, who are overcoming tiring days."
"I'm embarrassed that I met up with a friend and ended up chatting past the curfew. I'm angry at myself, and I can imagine how angry and hurt you must be as well," Yunho wrote.
"I'm regretful and sorry that I didn't pay better attention, which ultimately led me to make this mistake. I will reflect upon my actions of violating social distancing rules, and I promise to become a Jung Yunho who abides by the social distancing rules, and thinks and behaves in a more thorough manner. I'm very sorry," the singer stated.
