The lead singer of boy band CNBLUE is accused of gaining admission to a graduate studies program at Kyung Hee University without completing all the requirements. He was given top marks, despite not showing up for the mandatory interview. He is also suspected of intentionally delaying his mandatory military service.

Jung‘s case has been sent to the prosecution.

While arguing that he did not know about the graduate school’s entrance process very well, Jung denied the allegation that he was pursuing graduate studies to postpone joining the mandatory military service. 

Despite the controversy, Jung went ahead with his engagements, including fan events and a series of concerts, before the enlistment. He is to be discharged on Dec. 4, 2019.
