According to the Namyangju Nambu Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on the 6th, a complaint against Jung Soo-geun was filed on the 2nd. It was due to an assault case that took place at a drinking party in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province on the 21st of last month.
A, who first met Jung Soo-geun at a restaurant he visited after receiving a call from his boss at the time, was assaulted at the second spot leading to the karaoke room. Jung Soo-geun, who was rejected by A for the third time, was enraged and hit him twice in the head with a beer bottle. 안전놀이터
A, whose head was torn by the shock, was hospitalized after receiving emergency treatment at a nearby hospital. Jung Soo-geun asked for forgiveness by sending a text message and a phone call, but A, who has a large aftereffects of the damage, reportedly wants strong punishment.
Jung Soo-geun ended his professional baseball career because of alcohol, but accidents have continued even after his forced retirement. He has been smashing the baseball community by committing drunk driving and assault five times. “People don’t change easily” is exactly right.
Jung Soo-geun was once a star in the KBO League. Jung Soo-geun, a left-handed, left-handed outfielder who joined the OB (currently Doosan) in 1995 after graduating from Deoksu High School, played a total of 1,544 games in the 15 seasons of the first team until 2009, posting a batting average of .81493 with 24 homers, 450 RBIs, 866 runs and 474 steals. He became the first player in the league to steal bases for four consecutive years from 1998 to 2001, and also received two Golden Gloves in the outfield category (1999 and 2001). He also won the Korean Series twice (1995 and 2001) with Doosan.
Jung Soo-geun, a leading off and center fielder representing the league, was loved by fans for his outstanding personality. After winning a bronze medal at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Jung became a free agent at the young age of 26 after the 2003 season. He signed a six-year contract worth 4.06 billion won (3.98 million U.S. dollars) with Lotte, becoming the first player to sign a six-year contract. Nowadays, it is common to see a six-year FA contract with an option, but up until then, a six-year contract was not easy to imagine.
Jung Soo-geun, who was recognized for his high value as a FA at a young age in his mid-to-late 20s, was a troublemaker throughout his FA contract. When he was at Doosan, he had friction with Korean-Americans at the Hawaii spring camp in February 2003 and had a dispute with the police who came to the scene, but when he moved to Lotte, he committed drunk assault from the first year of his transfer.
He won the MVP of the All-Star Game held in Busan that year, but was booked without detention on charges of assaulting a player who threw a baseball bat at Haeundae Beach in the early morning of July 26. Jung Soo-geun, whose license was revoked for drunk driving, was suspended indefinitely by KBO for the first time. He returned to the ground after 20 games of being lifted from disciplinary action, but it did not last long.
On July 16, 2008, Jeong Su-geun was drunk at dawn and injured an apartment security guard for two weeks. He was arrested for using violence against police officers while being questioned at a district office. Although he narrowly avoided arrest, Lotte immediately withdrew his team’s decision, and the KBO also decided to impose severe punishment on him as an indefinite disqualifier.
Jung Soo-geun, who was lifted from disciplinary action in June 2019 after nearly a year of self-reflection, even kicked the last chance with alcohol. He returned to the first division on August 12 of that year, but on August 31, he was reported by an employee while drinking beer at a pub in Haeundae, and the police were dispatched, sparking controversy over a drunk rampage. It turned out to be a false report, but he was punished with aggravated punishment for two previous drunk cases. Lotte, which was limited in patience, immediately kicked out Jung Soo-geun, and KBO issued another indefinite disqualification.
Jeong Su-geun, who retired as a baseball commentator, briefly served as a commentator for baseball but was booked again after crashing into a taxi for drunk driving in June 2010. He was fined the third time for drunk driving in 2016, and was sentenced to three years of probation for driving without a license in June 2021. However, just three months later, he was caught drunk driving for the fifth time in September of the same year, and was eventually imprisoned for one year in prison. Shortly after being released from prison, he was put on the verge of another prison sentence for an assault accident. The fall never-ending.
