Jung Joon Young is freaking out and no, this time it is not over a leaked sex tape or his alleged sexual assault scandal, it is over something disgusting he ate during a recent episode of "Law of the Jungle." "Law of the Jungle" is a reality documentary series in which celebrities test their survival skills in the wild.
On the Nov. 11 episode of the SBS series, Kim Byung Man and his crew travel to Timor-Leste or East Timor, a country in Southeast Asia, where Jung and singer Lee Sang Min head out in search of some goats. As they continue their hunt for the animals, they come across some goat faeces.
"This is fresh poop," AllKPop quoted Jung as saying, suggesting that there is a possibility that there are goats nearby. When Lee refused to believe the actor/singer, Jung picked up a piece of poop and took a bite out of the excrement, to everyone's shock.
Jung immediately regretted his decision and spat out the poop in disgust. However, this is not the first time he had consumed goat poop. During his solo survival mission a day before, the star mistakenly ate goat excrement after confusing it with an acorn.
Jung made his first television appearance on the Nov. 4 episode of the reality-documentary series following his recent sex scandal. Last month, "Law of the Jungle" producers announced that they will be editing Jung out of certain scenes from the show in the wake of the controversy, according to The Korea Portal.
The 27-year-old star was forced to step down from several variety shows after his ex-girlfriend filed a sexual assault charge against him alleging that he filmed a part of her body without her consent, which made her feel sexually violated. However, Jung's agency later clarified that it was nothing more than a misunderstanding and that Jung had been cleared of the charges.
