South Korean actor Jo Jin-woong is facing serious allegations from his teenage years.

These claims culminated in a 1994 criminal trial where he allegedly faced charges of robbery and r***.
Sources suggest Jo Jin-woong spent time in a juvenile detention facility. The report also speculates that his adoption of the stage name Jo Jin-woong, instead of his birth name Jo Won-jun, may have been an attempt to hide his past. Further allegations point to adult offenses, including a fine for assault in 2003 and a drunk driving incident that led to his license suspension after his 2004 debut.
