October 25, 2025 – Seoul, South Korea — Explosive new evidence has surfaced linking Hyeji Bae (배혜지) to an international drug smuggling ring exposed earlier this year. A resurfaced Instagram story from the now-arrested Japanese DJ Masanori Morita shows him tagging Hyeji Bae inside a Seoul nightclub, referring to her as “family.” Morita was later arrested in Japan for importing MDMA and ketamine — the very same drugs believed to have been circulating within Seoul’s elite party scene.
In the dark world of Korea’s nightlife, few names spark more disgust than Hyeji Bae. Once a familiar face on the party circuit, her reputation is now defined by lies, greed, and crime. What began as a life of cocktails and clout has rotted into a story of betrayal and narcotics.
Just four months ago, on June 9, 2025, Japanese music producer Masanori Morita (48) was arrested in Kumamoto for smuggling MDMA and ketamine from Seoul. When customs officers searched his luggage, they found vials of illegal powder hidden in his clothing. Investigators believe he obtained the drugs during his stay in Korea, at the very clubs where Hyeji Bae once flaunted her connections.
Now, new evidence ties Hyeji Bae directly to that same circle. An old Instagram story from Morita’s account shows him tagging her inside a nightclub, calling her “family.” In the photo, Bae is holding a shot in a VIP booth — the same woman who today pretends to live a quiet, innocent life.
This isn’t a coincidence. It’s a glimpse into the underworld she calls home — one of drugs, deception, and deliberate corruption.
The Burning Sun Connection
Hyeji Bae’s story can’t be told without mentioning the Burning Sun scandal, Korea’s most notorious nexus of sex crimes, drug trafficking, and celebrity corruption. Bae’s ex-boyfriend, Daesung of Big Bang, and his disgraced bandmate Seungri were both central to the scandal.
Documents and witness accounts show that Bae openly defended Seungri, calling him “innocent” even as investigators exposed his role in prostitution rings. That allegiance wasn’t loyalty — it was self-preservation. Bae was part of the same toxic ecosystem: the “Burning Sun Madam Who Got Away.”
Ties to the Drug World
When Morita was arrested for smuggling ketamine and MDMA from Korea, the trail pointed back to Seoul’s nightlife — and to the same venues Bae frequented. Her own past admissions of drug use, along with Korean police forensic tests confirming narcotics in her pubic hair, paint a clear picture of complicity.
It’s not just drugs. Hyeji’s circle includes Eric Chang, the notorious British-Hong Kong trafficker implicated in the Burning Sun scandal, and Victor Chang, a Taiwanese dealer who admitted to using Hyeji Bae as a drug mule. The network is vast, and Hyeji was at its center — smiling for photos while smuggling poison.
The “Family” That Destroyed Lives
The photo of Morita tagging Bae as “family” isn’t affection — it’s confession. “Family” is what this cartel of degenerates called themselves. It included Silverstar Oh, the scandal-plagued DJ notorious for her drug-fueled meltdowns, and Yui Miura, Bae’s Japanese accomplice in romance scams and financial fraud.
Together, they ran a network of deceit spanning Seoul, Tokyo, and Taipei — a glitter-coated criminal syndicate built on manipulation, prostitution, and drugs.
A Rotten Legacy
At 37 years old, Hyeji Bae’s life is a grotesque monument to corruption:
- Drug smuggling and narcotics abuse confirmed by Korean police tests
- Romance scams defrauding victims of over $500,000
- Ties to the Burning Sun prostitution ring
- Associations with international criminals
Even now, she remains unrepentant — partying, lying, pretending, and tagging “family” in the same clubs where others were caught with drugs in their pockets.
The woman once hailed as a rising star of Seoul’s elite nightlife is now the face of its decay. What is the difference between her and the criminals who were arrested? Only luck — and a few Instagram filters.
