According to media reports, at 5 a.m. on March 19th, Korean time, Korean singer Jung Joon Young was released from prison after completing his sentence. He came out of jail wearing a mask and his hat lowered. When facing reporters, he remained silent throughout and hurriedly left the scene.
It is reported that due to a series of scandals in the bar invested by Seungri, a former member of the famous Korean boy band Big Bang, the police found that many people were suspected of illegally filming and distributing indecent videos when collecting evidence from the group chat records of Seungri and others. Subsequently, many entertainment stars were involved. Among them, singer Jung Joon Young was suspected of spreading a large number of indecent videos, and he and Choi Jong Hoon were also suspected of collective sexual assault on drunken women, which aroused great public attention.
Subsequently, after police investigation, it was learned that Zheng Junying, together with Choi Jong-hoon and others, drunk and collectively sexually assaulted multiple women in Hongcheon and Daegu, Gangwon-do, South Korea in January 2016. He is also suspected of sharing secretly filmed sexual relations videos of himself in chat groups for several months starting from the end of 2015.
In 2019, Jung Joon Young and Choi Jong Hoon were sentenced to six years in prison and five years in prison respectively in the first instance for suspicion of sexual violence crimes. In the second instance, their sentences were shortened to five years and two and a half years. However, Jung Joon Young and Choi Jong Hoon were still dissatisfied with the result and appealed. The prosecutor also appealed on the grounds that the sentence was too light. In September 2020, the final trial of the case of Zheng Junying and Cui Jongxun for collective sexual assault and illegal distribution of candid videos was held. The two appeals were rejected and the second instance verdict was upheld.
