Jeong, a man in his 30s who was put on trial for breaking into broadcaster Park Na-rae's home and stealing tens of millions of won worth of money, was eventually dragged to the Supreme Court even though he was sentenced to prison by an appeals court.

On the 11th, it was confirmed that Chung submitted an appeal against the second trial's ruling on charges of theft and overnight home invasion.

Earlier on the 5th, the 2-1 Criminal Department (appeal) (B) of the Seoul Western District Court sentenced Jeong to two years in prison, the same as the first trial, in an appeal. Regarding the reason for the sentencing, the court said, "The defendant was sentenced to two years in prison in the first trial and appealed that the sentence was heavy. The accused's criminal record of theft is not many in recent years, but he committed the crime during probation," he said. He added, "Based on the first trial's ruling, there is no change in circumstances, and it is difficult to say that the first trial's ruling is outside the reasonable range."

Chung was charged with breaking into Park Na-rae's home in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, alone in April 2025, stealing tens of millions of won worth of money and goods and running away. Chung reportedly claimed that he had sold the stolen goods as stolen goods and broke in without knowing that it was Park Na-rae's house at the time of the crime. In addition, Jeong was arrested for stealing from another house in Yongsan-gu at the end of March 2025.

At the time, Park Na-rae previously reported to the police that expensive items stored at her home in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul had been stolen. At the time, Park Na-rae said, "We confirmed that the house was stolen," and added, "We decided to report the damage to the police through our manager."

Later, Park Na-rae said on YouTube's "Naraesik" channel, "Kim Ji-min asked me to take a wedding photo with my comedian friends ahead of my wedding, so I was preparing, and I found out that it was missing when I looked for the most expensive bag I had inside to use as a filming prop."

Park Na-rae explained that she searched on a used luxury trading platform with the advice of her close brother at the time, found the same product as the stolen bag, and said, "Thanks to Kim Ji-min's wedding preparation, I quickly recognized the theft, and as a result, I was able to get all the items back." Since then, Park Na-rae said in July, "The criminal was caught and all the stolen items were returned," adding, "He went around all the used luxury shops in Gangnam." I went around and around and came back to my hand," he said.

In addition, Park Na-rae appeared on MBC's "I Live Alone" and said, "There have been many things. "I've lived like eight years for the last eight days," he said, referring to the home theft and adding, "Everything important has been resolved. The prosecution was sent to the prosecution and all of them were returned. There is no stress now. He said, "I sleep well, too."

The first trial court sentenced Chung to two years in prison, and at the subsequent trial date of the appeal trial, Chung said, "The defendant is repenting for his mistake. He regrets committing a crime to pay for his living expenses and blames himself. I beg you to give leniency to other victims other than Park Na-rae, considering that most of the actual damage has been recovered."

In his closing argument, Chung said, "I admit all the crimes I committed. I also apologize for how heavy my crimes were and how much pain I caused the victims. Park Na-rae has expressed his intention to reject the intention of depositing and agreeing through a lawyer. We will do our best to help (Park Na-rae) return the damaged item, he said. "I sincerely ask you to give me a chance to return to my family and girlfriend's arms earlier and live a new life."
