Seo Won Jeong, known online as ox_zung, born in 1996, is a famous South Korean TikTok creator with over 55.6 million followers. He also runs a YouTube channel with more than 11 million subscribers. Known for challenge and life hack videos, along with his viral catchphrase “Mom!”, ox_zung is affectionately nicknamed “Mama Guy” by fans both in Korea and internationally. In May, he was even named one of “Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2023”.
What’s suspicious is that since July, Seo Won Jeong has almost completely disappeared from all platforms, which is unusual for a content creator of his stature. Meanwhile, Korean media has stirred up buzz reporting that “a major influencer” is being detained and investigated over allegations related to sexual assault.
Although the news reports don’t reveal the person’s name or show their face clearly, blurred videos and leaked details have led many to identify the individual as Seo Won Jeong. Putting the pieces together, online communities are increasingly convinced he is involved and possibly the main figure in this troubling case.
Not only fans in South Korea but also many young Vietnamese followers are shocked. Fans have flooded his TikTok channel with over 55 million followers, sharing their feelings and thoughts. If these allegations prove true, Seo Won Jeong’s fans will likely be deeply disappointed, even heartbroken.
Seo could face up to 7 years in prison if convicted of “sexual assault on an unconscious victim.” So far, Seo Won Jeong’s management company, SOONENT, has not released any official statement regarding the situation.
