Personal life

On 2 September 2021, Jung Jiseok's ex-girlfriend Mrs A filed a complaint against Jung Jiseok on charges of assault and illegal filming.

He was investigated by Gyeonggi Suwon Nambu Police station. However he denied all the allegations. According to the police Jung Jiseok said he forgot the password to his own phone which means they cannot undergo further investigations and confirm whether he assaulted and did illegal filming of his ex-girlfriend.

Later,the prosecution decided to suspend the charges against Jung Jiseok after the complainant submitted an agreement and a letter of withdrawal.

He later made a comeback to the court as soon as they signed the agreement.
