On October 9, Jung Yong Hwa's management agency FNC Entertainment gave an update on the news about Jung Yong Hwa regarding his case of being illicitly admitted to a doctorate course.

The agency continued, "With their decision, Jung Yong Hwa was able to clear himself of getting preferentially treated in the process of his admission to the course."

A few months after in March, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency officially announced that Jung Yong Hwa will stand trial for suspected illicit admission to a graduate school program without due process.
At that time, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said Jung Yong Hwa and five others have been referred to the prosecution on recommendation that they be charged with obstruction of business without detention.
