South Korean K-pop and TV star Jung Joon-young ‘sorry’ for sharing sex videos filmed without women’s consent
- The celebrity apologised for filming his sexual encounters “without feeling any guilt” and sharing the videos to mobile chat groups
- He said he would drop all TV programmes and quit show business
In the space of two days, singer-songwriter Jung Joon-young and BIGBANG boy band member Seungri have both announced their retirement from show business.
Jung, 30, on Wednesday admitted filming himself having sex and sharing the footage without his partners’ consent while Seungri – real name Lee Seung-hyun – is embroiled in a sex-for-investment criminal investigation.
Jung, who was in the middle of shooting a reality TV show in the US, cut short his schedule and returned home on Tuesday, a day after broadcaster SBS reported that he made and shared porn videos filmed without the consent of more than 10 women he slept with over a period of eight months from late 2015.

“I admit to having committed all the wrongs that have been reported. I filmed women without their consent, spread (the films) in chat rooms. I did these activities without feeling any guilt,” he said in a statement.
