Prosecutors defer Jung Dong Won's indictment for unlicensed underage driving

The Seoul Prosecutor's Office has deferred trot singer Jung Dong Won's indictment over his underaged driving case.

Previously, Jung Dong Won was booked for operating a truck as an unlicensed minor at the age of 15 in January of last year.

Based on the fact that he is a minor and that this was his first criminal offense of this kind, prosecutors chose to defer his indictment, although acknowledging that the singer was guilty. 

Jung Dong Won previously received a similar deferral sentence for operating a motorcycle on an expressway designated for automobiles only in March of 2023.
