Jung Joon Young was sentenced to five years in prison on final appeal in September 2020 on charges of gang raping a woman with Choi Jong Hoon.
Jung Joon Young has been released from prison since mid-March 2024. Then on July 8, a netizen shared a new portrait of the man he accidentally met in a bar in France.
In the photo spread on social media, Joon Young appears to have long hair and a beard. The netizen who uploaded the photo revealed that this man who was born in 1989 was trying to seduce a girl.
"He was seducing women in a bar, asking for their Instagram accounts, and saying that he would open a Korean restaurant in Lyon. He introduced himself as Jun, a famous singer from Korea," said the netizen.
In fact, Joon Young planned to open a restaurant in Paris in 2018. However, this plan failed miserably after the Burning Sun scandal was exposed and the chat group incident of Seungri et al was revealed. At that time, his ambitious business plans came to a halt, and he faced serious accusations.
Joon Young was sentenced to five years in prison on final appeal in September 2020 on charges of gang-raping a woman with Choi Jong Hoon and four other people in Hongcheon and Daegu.
Joon Young was also charged with distributing illegally recorded recordings 11 times in the chat group of Seungri et al. After serving a 5-year sentence, Joon Young was released from Mokpo Correctional Institution in South Jeolla Province last March.
Once free, South Korean journalists reported that Joon Young was planning to move abroad. Journalist Kang in an interview on a radio program said, "I heard he is preparing to immigrate abroad."
Joon Young is also reportedly preparing to return to the music industry, but to become a singer. The man is said to have been unable to give up his obsession with musical activities and contacted people he knew about being given the opportunity to become a producer. (wk/charity)
