Actor Jo Jin-woong's real name is Jo Won-joon. Jo Jin-woong is his father's name.
Jo Jin-woong celebrates his birthday on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month. However, he was born on April 6, 1976. (Converted to lunar calendar, that day is the 7th of the 3rd month.)
There's very little information about Jo Jin-woong's high school days. Seoul, Bundang, Busan... there's no accurate record of his high school. There are only reports that he transferred (forcibly) at least twice.
Jo Jin-woong changed his name and hid his birthday. He erased his high school years in Seoul and emphasized his Busan native image. What was he so desperate to hide?
Jo Jin-woong's teenage years were marred by crime. It wasn't just a simple deviation. He committed serious crimes during high school and was sent to juvenile detention under the juvenile protection disposition. 'Dispatch' confirmed Jo Jin-woong's criminal history. Tipsters said, "Jo Jin-woong was a bully. He stole cars with his gang. He was also involved in rape." According to reports, Jo Jin-woong's gang mainly targeted cars left temporarily parked. They explained that they stole, used, and abandoned at least 3 vehicles. Then they moved on to stolen goods. A tipster said, "He stole a car that was left on the street with the engine running," and "He drove without a license, committing all sorts of crimes. He was caught using stolen goods." Based on continuous tips, 'Dispatch' investigated Jo Jin-woong's case. It was confirmed that he went through criminal proceedings in his second year of high school. The charges at the time were aggravated robbery and rape under the Special Act (as of 1994). A tipster stated, "Jo Jin-woong's gang attempted rape in the stolen car," and "Jo Jin-woong and others were sent to juvenile detention for this incident. He spent half of his third year in a correctional facility." Jo Jin-woong entered the Department of Theater and Film at Kyungsung University in 1996. It's unconfirmed whether he repeated a year or retook the entrance exam. However, tipsters described his return to Busan as 'crime laundering.' They criticized it as a choice to erase his serious high school crimes. Continued article, read inside

"The comments are a wild mix of accusations that this news is being leaked to distract from political scandals and some wild takes about left-wing actors. Lots of "lol" and "lmao" happening."
