Jo Jin-woong has his birthday party on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month. However, he was born on April 6, 1976. (Converted to the lunar calendar, that day is March 7.)
There is very little information about Jo Jin-woong's high school days. Seoul, Bundang, Busan... There are no accurate records of his high school. There are reports that he moved at least twice (forcibly).
Jo Jin-woong changed his name and hid his birthday. He erased his high school days in Seoul and emphasized his image as a Busan native. What exactly did he want to hide?
Jo Jin-woong's teenage years were marred by crime. It wasn't just a simple act of delinquency. He committed serious crimes during high school and was sent to a juvenile detention center after receiving juvenile protection disposition. 'Dispatch' confirmed Jo Jin-woong's criminal history. Informants said, "Jo Jin-woong was a bully. He stole vehicles with his gang. He was also involved in sexual assault."
According to reports, Jo Jin-woong's gang primarily targeted vehicles that were temporarily stopped. They explained that they stole, drove, and abandoned at least three vehicles. Then they got involved with stolen goods.
The informant said, "He stole a car that was parked on the side of the road with the engine running" and "He committed all sorts of crimes while driving without a license. He was caught using stolen goods."
'Dispatch' dug into Jo Jin-woong's case based on continuous tips. It was confirmed that he was tried in criminal court in his second year of high school. The charges at the time were robbery and rape under the special act on criminal punishment (as of 1994).
The informant said, "Jo Jin-woong's gang attempted sexual assault in the stolen vehicle" and "Jo Jin-woong and others were sent to a juvenile detention center for this incident. He spent half of his third year in a correctional institution."
Jo Jin-woong entered the Department of Theater and Film at Kyungsung University in 1996. It's unclear if he failed a grade or retook the entrance exam. However, informants evaluated his return to Busan as "laundering his crimes." They criticized it as a choice to erase his serious crimes from high school.
'Dispatch' learned of another criminal act by Jo Jin-woong during its investigation. He continued to frequent police stations even after becoming an adult. This was during his period as an unknown actor.
After graduating from college, Jo Jin-woong began his career as a theater actor in a troupe. Around 2003, he severely beat a member of his theater troupe during a drinking session.
Jo Jin-woong was fined for assault. The informant said, "He got into an argument at a drinking party and beat up a fellow troupe member." and "He had been booked for assault before, so he received a fine."
He is also known to have a record of drunk driving. The informant said, "It was after filming the movie 'A Moment to Remember'" and "He drove while heavily intoxicated and his license was revoked."
Jo Jin-woong debuted in the movie 'A Moment to Remember' in January 2004. The role he played was 'Wild Horse Gang'. He abandoned his own name and started his career under his father's name, 'Jo Jin-woong'.
The informant speculated, "When he was caught drunk driving, his face wasn't yet known." and "Since he hadn't changed his name, the police probably didn't know it was actor Jo Jin-woong."
Jo Jin-woong mentioned on a broadcast the reason he changed his stage name to his father's name. He said, "I was doing theater and then I started doing movies. I wanted to give myself a turning point."
However, those who knew his past thought differently. They said he changed his name to hide his criminal history. They retorted, "After committing such acts, how could he continue to work under the name Jo Won-joon?"
Tips about Jo Jin-woong poured in after the Liberation Day event on August 15.
"I pledge before the proud Taegeukgi to the eternal glory of the free and just Republic of Korea."
Jo Jin-woong recited the pledge of allegiance to the national flag at the 80th anniversary of Liberation Day ceremony. This was prompted by his appointment as a special envoy for the repatriation of General Hong Beom-do's remains and his participation as a narrator for 'Korean Independence Army: The Unfinished War'.
However, Jo Jin-woong's 'pledge' touched the wounds of the victims.
"He was a perpetrator and a criminal who bullied the weak. But he was portrayed as righteous while playing the role of a police officer. Now he's even gaining the image of an independence fighter. How do the victims feel? I hope he reflects on his past now." (Informant)
Meanwhile, Jo Jin-woong has perfected the image of a strong detective who solves serious crimes in works like 'Signal', 'The Fortress', 'Suspect X', 'Believer', 'The Vanished', and 'The Policeman's Lineage'.
" netizens are shocked by the accusations against Jo Jin-woong, with many expressing concern for his ongoing projects and comparing his past to his recent roles."
