On the 12th, a video clip of 'Jeong Dong-won's unlicensed driving controversy' was released in Lee Jin-ho, the entertainment's president.
It was none other than Jeong Dong-won's Seoul friend who threatened him with 500 million won under the pretext of his unlicensed driving.
Lee Jin-ho said, `Jung Dong-won's Seoul friend stole his old phone from Jung Dong-won's house. Jung Dong-won didn't even know he was lost because he was using a new phone. I didn't know how I got the password, and I took my phone off and demanded 500 million won using the driving video," he said.
As for the report that he gave 100 million won "Jung Dong-won did not give a won because he thought he could be swayed if he gave even 100,000 won."It is true that he prepared the money because he pretended to prepare 100 million won."
Jung Dong-won got his phone back after the blackmailer was caught, and the other party demanded an agreement and leniency.
However, when Jung Dong-won did not comply with the agreement and leniency, he asked for punishment as evidence of Jung Dong-won's unlicensed driving video, and the details were released.
Jung Dong-won was criticized for violating traffic laws while driving a motorcycle in March 2023. The unlicensed video was also taken in January 2023, Jung Dong-won said at the time, explaining that it was a time of storm and old age after the death of his grandfather.
