It is said that Jeong met three acquaintances at a restaurant in Cheongdam-dong at the end of last month and had a drink until midnight.
The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency has announced that it is being investigated and accused of violating the infectious disease prevention method.
SM Entertainment, Jung’s agency, issued an official statement and admitted to the mistake.
SM said, “We are sorry for the fact that our artists have not been thoroughly managed and guided so that they can follow the quarantine rules well even in their personal time.”
The crackdown was not initiated by the ward office or the competent Gangnam-seo, but by the Seoul Police Agency.
A police official added, “If the violation of the infectious disease prevention law is related to a criminal case, the Seoul Metropolitan Government may directly investigate,” he added, adding that “the details are still being investigated.”
