, ‘[Sports Today Reporter Seo Ji-hyun] Singer Jung Joon-young revealed his sense of injustice regarding his involvement in the Jung Joon-young chatroom scandal.

Yeon Jun-hyung, who sought forgiveness only from the public without showing remorse for the victims of illegal filming.’, ‘On the 12th, Yeon Jun-hyung wrote a long post on his SNS, saying, “Hello, this is Yeon Jun-hyung. I was clearly foolish and made a mistake at that time.”‘, ‘On this day, Yeon Jun-hyung spoke about the controversy surrounding the illegal sharing of videos related to Jung Joon-young in 2019, stating, “I clicked on a black screen and a video sent to me without any explanation on my personal messenger. Before checking it, I couldn’t tell what it was or what the intention was. I could have said ‘stop, this is wrong’ later, but I couldn’t become the person who said that, and I brushed it off as something insignificant.”‘,
‘However, Yeon Jun-hyung emphasized, “Nevertheless, as I mentioned at that time and later pleaded, I was not involved in the incident where unpleasant things happened in a group chat room that I had never entered nor wanted to be associated with.”‘, ‘Furthermore, Yeon Jun-hyung stated, “For several years, the media and many people have put me as one of the figures in that incident, saying that I consumed illegal filming materials… I have mentioned about the part that is not true, but everyone, no article, has become the same as those unrelated people.” He expressed, “Even if I get hurt and suffer, I will endure and bear it. Please… I earnestly request. I hope that my beloved family, people, and fans who look at me, among others, will not be hurt.”‘, ‘Earlier, after being mentioned as a member of Jung Joon-young’s chatroom, Yeon Jun-hyung withdrew from the team Highlight and went into voluntary reflection for four years, including military service.

Yeon Jun-hyung’s statement of brushing off illegal filming materials as “insignificant” can never be an excuse. Furthermore, he should leave behind forgiveness and reflection for the victims of illegal filming, even if it is belated.’, ‘[Sports Today Reporter Seo Ji-hyun [email protected]]’, ‘[Featured Articles]’,
