Sending '9 Won' with "Punish You"... Jeong Yu-ra Announces Legal Action

'Gyeongjeokpilpae', 'Bonghwang-ui Ireumeuro' Depositor Names
Earlier, Donation Accounts Opened for Choi Soon-sil's Hospital Bills

Jung Yura, the daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil), who is serving time for the Park Geun-hye government’s state corruption scandal, announced that she will take legal action against those who repeatedly deposit '9 won' into her donation account.

On the 13th, Jung expressed this on her social media (SNS) and shared a photo of the transaction details from her donation account. The photo shows that an unidentified person repeatedly sent 9 won with depositor names set as ‘Gyeongjeokpilpae’ (meaning "underestimating the enemy leads to defeat"), ‘In the name of the phoenix,’ and ‘Punish you.’

Given the four-character idiom Gyeongjeokpilpae, meaning "underestimating the enemy leads to defeat," and expressions like "punish," it is presumed that someone hostile to Jung is behind these actions. In some cases, the depositor name was set as ‘Deurijiyo’ (meaning "I give"), which sounds like ‘salvation’ in Korean, adding a significant nuance.

Jung said, “I receive about ten or so of these a day, several times. If it happens once more, I will file a civil and criminal complaint under the Information and Communications Network Act for causing anxiety.” She added, “I thought the person was mentally unstable and let it go, but now I’m scared. It’s the first time in my life I’ve seen someone use the word ‘phoenix’ in the 21st century.”

Earlier, Jung had shared on SNS news about her mother Choi’s shoulder reoperation and requested support. At that time, she said, “She is quite old, yet she has to undergo general anesthesia multiple times. She kept repeating things for days and was mentally disoriented; her condition was very bad.”

She also appealed, “I hate myself for having to worry realistically about the enormous hospital bills. If you help, I will not forget it.”

Meanwhile, Jung has recently been active on SNS, opposing Cho Min, daughter of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk. On the 10th, regarding rumors about Cho Min’s possible run in the general election, Jung commented, “Parliamentary elections are not popularity contests.”

She added, “Of course, sometimes people tell me to run too, but I know my place well. I don’t think I can take a seat as a lawmaker who serves the country for my own benefit.”
