Biography
Jung Joon-young was a South Korean musician and television personality who became known for sexual violence crimes disclosed during the Burning Sun scandal. Born February 21, 1989, he initially built a music career after placing third in the 2012 season of Superstar K. In October 2013, he released his debut mini album, 1st Mini Album, which won the "New Male Solo Artist" award at the 3rd Gaon Chart Music Awards. He released a second mini album, Teenager, in June 2014, followed by his studio album The First Person in February 2017. From 2015 to March 2019, he served as lead vocalist of the rock band JJY Band, which was renamed Drug Restaurant in 2016. Beyond music, Jung joined the KBS2 variety show 2 Days & 1 Night as its youngest member in 2013, remaining until 2019, and hosted a radio program on MBC FM from 2014 to 2015. He made his film debut in Love Forecast in 2015. In March 2019, investigations into the Burning Sun scandal led to the disclosure of his private KakaoTalk chatrooms, revealing he had filmed women without consent and shared the footage. Jung subsequently admitted his crimes and retired from entertainment. On November 29, 2019, he was sentenced to six years in prison for gang rape and the non-consensual distribution of sexual imagery; the Seoul High Court reduced this to five years in May 2020. As a Life Path 5 individual, he embodied impulsivity and lack of ethical constraint. A Pisces born in February, he was driven by emotional and social currents—in his case, toward profound harm.
