CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa cleared of illegal grad school admission charges

 

 

Jung Yong-hwa, the main vocalist of the pop rock band CNBLUE, has been cleared of charges related to his illegal admission to a graduate school program, his agency said on Tuesday.

"Jung sincerely cooperated with the judicial authority's investigation into the charges against him early this year," FNC Entertainment said in a release. "The prosecution decided not to indict him in July, on the judgment that he has not obstructed work of the school related to his admission."

The decision confirmed that he had no intention to enter the school without due process, the agency added.

The 29-year-old singer was accused of being admitted to a doctorate course at Kyung Hee University in 2017 even though he never came to the interview. In March, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency reported Jung to the prosecution on recommendation that he should be charged with obstruction of business without detention, suspecting that he illicitly entered the graduate school to delay his mandatory military service.

He joined the army the same month and is now working at an army base in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province after finishing five weeks of basic training at a boot camp in the same county.

In South Korea, all able-bodied men have to fulfill military duty for around two years. (Yonhap)

Happy for Yonghwa, and also that this deliberation came through the proper, legal route which sets things straight once and for all.

 

It's been a really tough and harrowing time but hopefully this will pave the way for better things ahead.

I remember at the time he was getting dragged left and right. Now it's confirmed he had no ill intent. Glad all this is behind him now.
