Last month, while verifying a tip from an informant that drugs were being circulated at an entertainment establishment in Gangnam, Seoul, the police obtained clues related to both Lee Sun Kyun and Jung Da Eun. However, the specific drug-related allegations against Jung Da Eun and others have yet to be confirmed.
Jung Da Eun gained national fame in 2009 when she appeared on SBS‘s reality talent show Star King for resembling actor Kang Dong Won. At the time, she was known for being “a woman who was more handsome than a man.”
