Keyboardist and vocalist for South Korean indie band "Mate" under MYMusic Entertainment.

He married his girlfriend of 4 years in November 2010.

10 years ago, she dated singer Jung Joon Il who was married at the time. They both acted in the 2011 film “Play.” Someone describing themselves as his wife posted on his fan cafe in 2012 to say that his affair was the reason for their divorce. He cheated on her with another woman from late 2009 to mid-2010, however he promised it would not happen again and they got married. He cheated again after their marriage and then requested a divorce.

And when the full story did drop online, it shocked the nation because o one had known that Jung Joon Il was ever married. He kept his marital status completely secret. In fact, his fans only guessed that he may be dating Jung Eun Chae because she was frequently spotted at his concerts.

At the time of the exposé, Jung Eun Chae insisted that she didn’t know about his marriage so she did not face any harsh criticism because people believed she “got tricked into dating a married man”

On April 16, 2020, WikiTree had published a report about the affair. It came out ahead of the premiere of Jung Eun Chae's drama “The King: Eternal Monarch” on April 17, 2020.

Jung Joon Il’s representatives said that he never hid the fact that he was married from her. Edit Biography
