Previously, Jung was accused of posting on social media that Bae had "shifted her support from Han Donghun to former Governor Kim Moonsoo" and suggesting that "the person who assaulted him in the past should reappear."
In response, Bae stated on social media, "I will handle this calmly through legal and financial means," and her aide submitted a complaint against Jung to Songpa Police Station.
A police official said, "After completing the investigation of the complainant, we took over the case today," adding, "We plan to summon Jung soon for questioning as the accused."
