Please help sign this petition to extend the re-investigation for the Jang Jayeon case of 2009.
For anyone who does not know, Jang Jayeon is a Korean actress who committed suicide in 2009. She left behind a letter claiming that she was forced by her agent to have sex with multiple major players in the entertainment and finance industries, such as CEOs and other executives. Her case was investigated, but of the 31 guilty parties she named in her letter, most were absolved of guilt at the time.
(For more details about the initial case, you can read this article.)
Recently, Jang Jayeon’s colleague Yoon Ji-Oh came forward with a book called ‘The 13th Statement’ to direct public attention to this case again. Yoon testified as a witness for the case back when it happened, but the justice she wanted for her friend was never obtained. In her book, she points suspicion at the faults of the investigation and names evidence (names of involved parties from Jang Jayeon’s letter) that was never brought up before.
In 2018, a petition for re-investigation extended the deadline for prosecution for this case. But the deadline of that extension is now coming up again. The statute of limitations for Jang Jayeon’s case ends in 15 days from now.
Yoon Ji-Oh recently spoke up to name her frustration about how whenever Jang Jayeon’s case is opened for re-investigation, larger scandals always seem to occur so that needed attention is taken away from her case. We all know of what is happening right now with Seungri, Jung Joonyoung, and their crimes. However, few seem to know of this opportunity to bring Jang Jayeon justice, and her case is threatened to be buried under these more currently prevalent scandals. If people are not made aware of this, the deadline for her case will pass, and the re-investigation may occur too late.
In addition, certain names that Yoon Ji-Oh implicated as guilty parties have been tied to major news outlets in Korea. Because of this, some people are suspicious that major influencers in the media may be directing the public’s attention to larger scandals, to keep the re-investigation of Jang Jayeon’s case buried.

In order to help extend the statute of limitations for this case (so that the re-investigation has enough time to root out the offenders) - please sign this petition here.

For clarity’s sake, here is the link of the petition, again: HERE
Please help bring Jang Jayeon the justice she should have gotten a decade ago. She is yet another victim, just like the women who have been abused by the likes of Jung Joonyoung, Seungri, and the other names that are being brought up in the media lately. Every single one of these victims deserve to be brought justice.
