Scandal from “The World Of The Married” supporting actor

The World of The Married‘s supporting actor Jung Joon Won, for the role of Cha Hae Kang — who is a best-friend-turned-enemy for the troubled son Lee Joon Young (played by actor Jeon Jin Seo), has gone under fire for his alleged Facebook posts. Recently, photos began circulating online that were purportedly from Jung Joon Won’s Facebook account. Although Jung Joon Won is currently a minor, the photos appeared to show him engaging in drinking and smoking with his friends.

On May 10, Jung Joon Won’s agency, DAIN Entertainment, released an official statement about the issue.

Hello, this is DAIN Entertainment.

This is our agency’s response to Jung Joon Won’s social media posts that were revealed today.

First, our job is to manage actors, so we sincerely apologize for any inadequacy on our part in managing our artist. Currently, we are conducting a thorough internal investigation into the situation and will ensure that it does not happen again.

We are sorry for causing an incident of public criticism at a time when society is disordered due to COVID-19. We are also deeply sorry to the production staff of the drama “The World of the Married.”

We will be more careful in managing our artists in future and do our best to prevent a recurrence and move toward improvement instead.

Thank you.

Jung Joon Won, born 2004, is 15 years old (though 17 in “Korean age”). But his Facebook posts show him hanging out with friends, alongside multiple soju bottles on the table — hinting that he may have been drinking.

Korean netizens are shocked by the possibility of this rising underage actor’s “delinquency“…

“Um… Wouldn’t this be illegal…???”

“Wait, didn’t he debut really young though? Does he not want to keep acting, or…?”

“This would be upsetting coming from an adult actor… So for it to come from a teen… Wow.”

“How even old is a 04-liner??? Isn’t he a baby? What does he think he is doing!”
