Born in Indonesia, but raised in China, Japan, Europe (England and France), and the Philippines. Joon Young has lived in ten different countries because his father was an international businessman.

In March 2019, Jung retired from the entertainment industry due to his scandal first revealed in the Burning Sun scandal, admitting that he had "filmed women without their consent and shared it in a chatroom". This was amidst allegations of him having secretly filmed his own sex videos and then shared them with friends. On November 29, 2019, Jung was sentenced to six years in prison for gang-raping drunk unconscious women. Jung was additionally convicted of secretly filming himself having sex with other women and sharing the footage without their consent. On May 12, 2020, Seoul High Court reduced Jung’s sentence from six years to five and halved it after he submitted documents expressing his regret. He is expected to be released from prison in October 2025.
