I will faithfully cooperate with an investigation by police that will start on Thursday and I will readily accept whatever punishment is in store for me," the publication quoted Jung Joon-young as saying. The artist said that he would dismiss all his TV and music projects for the moment. Jung is scheduled for a round of questioning by the Seoul Metropolitan Police on 14 March. The allegations against Jung surfaced after police authorities discovered the case during a separate investigation into fellow K-pop star Seungri. The latter was reportedly a member of Jung’s group chat. Seungri also quit his boy-band Big Bang after allegations of running an illegal prostitution ring surfaced against the artist. Both singers have been reportedly banned from leaving the country.
