After being spotted engaging in “girl-hunting” activities in France just four months after his release from prison, Jung Joon-young, the sex offender involved in the Burning Sun scandal, was spotted again on August 31.
In particular, a French Internet user shared a video and photo of Jung Joon-young in the city.
The author of the post shared the video with a warning to the online community, “Oh my God, guys, Jung Joon-young is in France. I just saw him in Normal de Barbès. Be careful.”
The person also expressed fear, saying she was “disturbed” by the sex offender’s long, unkempt hair and dangerous eyes.
Previously, it was reported that the most dangerous sex offender in the Burning Sun scandal had decided to stay in Lyon, France, to start a new life. Jung boasted that he had opened a restaurant in France with several women he had met while partying in nightclubs. He had repeatedly invited them to the opening and promised discounts to attractive women.
“France is not just a place for Jung Joon-young to relax. He told people that he will open a Korean restaurant here. If you go to France, avoid his restaurant,” a source said at the time.
On the other hand, Jung Joon-young was sentenced to 5 years in prison for sexually assaulting women, illegally filming them, and distributing the videos in a sex-related group chat. He was officially released from prison on March 19, 2024. Korean media are speculating that Jung Joon-young may emigrate to another country, raising public concern. In a new location, he could potentially repeat the horrific crimes he committed in Korea, and there is a significant risk that more victims could emerge if he is not closely monitored.
