Following the report, both his agency and Yong Jun Hyung himself denied the allegations stating that the conversation shared in the report was from a 1:1 chatroom in 2016, not from a group chatroom.

To this, SBS funE clarified that the messages released in the report were exchanged in 1:1 chatroom of Jung Joon Young and Yong Jun Hyung.

However, SBS funE reported that the messages were exchanged in December 2016, which was nine months before Jung Joon Young was sued by his ex-girlfriend 'A'.

The female that Jung Joon Young was caught secretly filming without her consent was not 'A', but another female 'B'.

Through the letter shared on his social media account, Yong Jun Hyung said, "You can think that even my thoughtless answer could be a mistake. I will be more careful about everything I say and do."

Meanwhile, Yong Jun Hyung is scheduled to enlist in the military as an active-duty soldier next month.
