Jung Joon Young, aged 35, convicted of group sexual assault and illegal distribution of sex videos, has been released after serving a five-year prison sentence.

On the morning of March 19, 2024, Jung Joon Young was released on parole from Mokpo Prison in Jeollanam-do.

In March 2019, Jung Joon Young, along with former FT Island singer Choi Jong Hoon, was arrested and charged for their involvement in the gang rape of women in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, and Daegu in January and March 2016, respectively.

Additionally, Jung Joon Young faced allegations of sharing illicit sexual videos of women in a KakaoTalk group chat, which implicated several celebrities, including Seungri, in 2015. He was sentenced to five years in prison by the Supreme Court in September 2020.

In the initial trial held in November 2019, Jung Joon Young received a six-year prison sentence, 80 hours of sexual violence treatment program, and a five-year employment restriction in child and adolescent-related institutions, welfare facilities for the disabled, etc. However, his sentence was reduced by one year on appeal.

Having completed his five-year prison term for sexual crimes, Jung Joon Young was not required to disclose personal information or wear an electronic ankle monitor, unlike other celebrity sex offenders such as Go Young Wook.

This decision was made because the court rejected the prosecution's request for protective supervision over Jung Joon Young.

Korean netizens are still dissatisfied with the prison term that Jung Joon Young served, stating that it is too short.

They commented, "Seeing things like this makes you wonder what kind of country we live in, where criminals are treated so leniently! When such issues arise and anger the entire nation, is five years the only punishment the judge can give?" "Five years already passed? He should've stayed there longer," "People can't be fixed," "He's going to start all over again. I bet you he's already looking for girls," "He should've been given an electronic angle monitor like Go Young Wook," "Please put him back in," "He should've stayed in jail longer," "The members in that group chat don't seem remorseful of their actions," "Rapist," and "Ugh I hate him."
