Actress Jeon JongSeo denies the affair once again, ”The school violence affair is groundless. If it were true, I wouldn't be able to come out with pride”

Actress Jung Jung Soo opened up about the school violence incident that had happened to her, saying that it had no basis in fact.

On the afternoon of the 27th, Jung Jung Soo participated in the production launch of TVING's original series ‘Empress Yuji’ at CGV Yongsan Aipark Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. On this day, actors Kim Moo Yeol, Jung Yoo Mi and Lee Soo Hyuk, as well as Jung Jung Soo, participated and spoke at the production presentation.

On this day, Jung Jung Soo was asked questions by the interviewers related to the fact that a school violence incident occurred in April last year.

In response to the question, Jung Jung Soo said, ‘As for the question you asked, it is not true at all, as we have clarified our position through our company’ and replied, ‘If it were true, I would not be able to push out my works in front of the public and the press and appear here openly’.

He added, "It is regrettable that such a thing happened, and for those who were hurt by it, we will recover again through really good activities’ and that he is ‘trying to sort this part out’."

Prior to this, Jung Jung Soo's text alleging the perpetration of school violence was posted on an online community in April last year and went viral. The author of the text, referring to Jeong Jung Soo's school days, claimed that he ‘stole and took students’ gym uniforms and uniforms and verbally abused them when they did not hand them over’ and that “I was also verbally abused when I did not hand over my gym uniforms at one point and was chased into the toilet and even kicked the door with my foot”.

However, Jung Jung Soo's agency Andmark strongly denied this in an official statement. The agency said, "Our company has recognised the false facts and malicious rumours related to Jung Jung Soo that have spread through online communities and SNS. We also checked the texts posted on the community, and immediately checked the facts closely through the actor himself and his acquaintances in the surrounding area, and confirmed that what was claimed in the texts was not true at all." He also stressed that he would take strong action against the spreading of false facts.

Meanwhile, ‘Empress Yu’, in which Jeong Jung Soo appears, is a chase-action historical drama in which Empress Yu becomes the target of princes and five tribes that are trying to seize power after the sudden death of the king, and she struggles alone to install a new king within 24 hours.
