Jung Dong-won is suspected of driving a truck owned by his father in his hometown of Hadong, South Gyeongsang Province, in January 2023. According to Article 82 of the Road Traffic Act, you can obtain a license to drive a car, including a Type 1 normal license, from the age of 18. Driving without a license can result in up to 10 months in prison or a fine of 3 million won. The police booked Jung Dong-won for violating the Road Traffic Act and conducted an investigation, and sent the recent case to the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office.
Jung Dong-won belatedly admitted this fact. The agency Showplay Entertainment (hereinafter referred to as Showplay) said on the 11th that "Jung Dong-won deeply regrets and regrets the mistake of practicing driving without a driver's license." he said.
However, it was pointed out that Jung Dong-won's apology lacked sincerity.
The agency said, `Jung Dong-won practiced driving for about 10 minutes on a mountain road near his house and a passenger filmed itAn attempt was made to reduce the incident to 'Driving Practice' rather than 'Driving Unlicensed'.
Even the passenger who filmed Jung Dong-won's video was known as a friend of Jung Dong-won. He was not an adult who could guide him in an emergency, but he was the same minor. It was pointed out that they should have been more alert as they could have led to a big accident if they did something wrong.
Furthermore, Jung Dong-won drives a motorcycle on the eastern Seoul interstate where two-wheeled vehicles are banned in March 2023, about two months after the unlicensed driving time He was caught by the police and suspended from prosecution. I can't help but doubt whether he really reflected on driving without a license.

The agency said "Last year, acquaintance A took his cell phone from Jung Dong-won's house, and A and acquaintances illegally accessed a cell phone photo album containing Jung Dong-won's private life. Since then, A and others have been continuously threatening, saying there is a video of Jung Dong-won driving without a license. Racketeers threatened to pay more than 200 million won in return for their silence, saying the video was evidence of unlicensed driving, but Jung Dong-won did not respond and did not pay. Jung Dong-won immediately reported the racketeers to the police with the determination to repent of his wrongdoings and face legal punishment, and the racketeers are currently under arrest and are on trial."
However, MBN filed a complaint with the police on the 12th after receiving threats for 500 million won, saying that Jung Dong-won would spread the privacy contained in his lost mobile phone in March. Jeong Dong-won actually exceeded 100 million won, but the police arrested all three of the blackmailers and retrieved their mobile phones to launch an investigation," the report said.
