News has emerged about Jung Yoon-jung's return after using profanity during a home shopping broadcast.
According to the industry on the 24th, it was reported that Ms. Jung appeared as a guest on NS Home Shopping's 'Dermacure' cosmetics sales broadcast, which aired on the 21st at 7:35 p.m., sparking heated discussions online.
Previously, Jung Yoon-jung expressed irritation when the sold-out products could not conclude the home shopping broadcast in January and even went so far as to express discontent with profanity during the live broadcast, receiving complaints from viewers.
At the time, while the production team recognized the seriousness of the issue and requested a correction of her remarks, Jung Yoon-jung responded, "Correction? What should I do? I correct well. Inappropriate language on air? What did I do? I forgot. Please see it as entertainment. Can't home shopping enter the era of entertainment?" and engaged in heated discussions with netizens through social media.
Ultimately, a number of complaints were filed with the Broadcasting Commission, and Jung Yoon-jung conveyed her apology through social media. The recent news of Jung Yoon-jung, who had not been seen on air, appearing again has been reported. In response, netizens have shown sharp reactions.
Meanwhile, although Jung Yoon-jung apologized at the time, Hyundai Home Shopping decided on an "indefinite suspension of grants" for Jung to fulfill its public responsibilities as a broadcaster. The three home shopping companies, including Lotte, Hyundai, and CJ, also excluded broadcasts that Jung Yoon-jung was scheduled to appear on from the programming schedule for about two weeks.
