Jung Joon-young made his debut with the mini album ‘Rock Trip’ in 2010 and gained fame by appearing on the Mnet entertainment program ‘Superstar K’ Season 4 in 2012. He was active in various entertainment programs afterward but suspended his entertainment activities in 2019 during the ‘Burning Sun Gate’ investigation due to allegations of illegal filming and distribution of sexual videos. Subsequently, a chatroom known as ‘Jung Joon-young’s Chatroom,’ where he distributed illegal filming material, brought to light his past involvement in group sexual assaults and sexual crimes.

During the trial process, Jung Joon-young was accused of distributing sexual videos and photos that were illegally filmed with chatroom members since late 2015, as well as forcibly molesting a woman in Hongcheon, Gangwon province, in January 2016, and getting a victim drunk and gang-raping her in Daegu in March of that year. In particular, the ‘Jung Joon-young Chatroom’ involved many male celebrities, including FT Island’s Choi Jong-hoon and CNBLUE’s Lee Jong-hyun, close friends of Jung Joon-young in the entertainment industry, which caused even more shock.

Jung Joon-young was sentenced to 6 years in prison in the first trial in November 2019. Factors such as reaching an agreement with some of the victims resulted in a reduction to 5 years in the second trial held in September of the following year. Jung Joon-young, who was sentenced to 5 years in prison, was released from Mokpo Penitentiary in Jeonnam in March of the same year.

Despite serving a 5-year prison sentence, he continues to live a life no different from before and is openly living abroad as a sex offender, leading netizens to express outrage and criticism. / [email protected]
