By Kim Jae-heun

Police referred to the prosecution the case of K-pop singer Jung Joon-young's alleged illicit recording and sharing of sex videos online, Friday.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency sent Jung and investigation material to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, asking the prosecution to indict him. The move came about a week after his arrest.

Jung was dressed in a black suit when he left Jongno Police Station at 7:48 a.m. He remained silent when reporters asked why he had tried to destroy evidence and if he had anything to say to the victims.

Police confirmed that Jung shared with 16 people 13 illicitly filmed videos of his sex partners. Among the 16 were former BIGBANG member Seungri and FT Island member Choi Jong-hoon, in multiple group chat conversations. Seven of them, including Jung, Seungri and Choi, were booked for uploading such content.

As well as the sex videos, Jung allegedly took photos and videos of women in many places including a hotel and an apartment in Taiwan, bars in Gangnam and even on planes.

Police are also looking into suspicions that Jung and other group chat members tried to destroy evidence by changing their phones after the scandal broke out. Jung, who was shooting a TV program in the U.S. when the story broke, is suspected of having bought a new phone there and submitting it to police after returning home.
