KBS News Reveals Additional Chat Logs Linking Jung Joon Young to the Sex Trade

Following Jung Joon Young‘s charge for sharing illegal videos in Seungri‘s chatroom, KBS News revealed additional chat logs that link Jung Joon Young to the sex trade.

The chat logs show an exchange between Jung Joon Young and CEO Yoo In Suk of Yuri Holdings, and the first log took place on December 25 of 2015.

Jung Joon Young: “My address is Unit XXX, Complex XXX, Geumho-dong, Seoul. Do I just send them back after I’m done?”

CEO Yoo : “Yeah. Hahaha.”

Jung Joon Young: “Cool. They must be some expensive b**ches.

CEO Yoo: “Yeah, they are.”

CEO Yoo: “Yeah. They’ll be there within 30 minutes.”

Jung Joon Young: “Hyung, why aren’t my gifts here yet? Hahaha.”

The exchange suggests that Jung Joon Young was waiting for CEO Yoo to send prostitutes over to his place, and when they didn’t arrive after the promised 30 minutes, Jung Joon Young asked where his “gifts” were.

According to KBS News, it sounded as though Jung Joon Young was referring to the women as Christmas gifts from CEO Yoo.

In addition, a second chat log between Jung Joon Young and CNBLUE’s Lee Jonghyun suggests that Jung Joon Young engaged in sex tourism as well.

Jung Joon Young: “Berlin is so much fun. I had a good time with the prostitutes here.”

Lee Jonghyun: “You’re crazy. Hahaha. Did you sleep with them?”

Jung Joon Young: “Yeah. The women aren’t bad here. A lot of them are Romanian.”

Due to Korea’s nationality principle, a Korean person can be punished under Korean law once their involvement in sex tourism is confirmed.

KBS News stated, “In addition to Jung Joon Young’s charge for filming and sharing illegal videos, it appears that the investigation will inevitably have to look into his involvement in the sex trade as well.“
