Eunji’s stalker started trailing her in 2020 – More details about case
In March 2020, Cho initiated her stalking of Jung Eunji by sending a package to Eunji's residence, along with the message, “Will you take me in as your maid and your cohabitation partner?” Following this, Cho trailed Eunji on a motorcycle to her hair and makeup shop two months later.
In both April and July 2021, Cho was discovered loitering near Jung Eunji's apartment. Despite receiving a stern warning from the police and promising Eunji's agency not to contact her, Cho persisted in harassing Eunji over the next five months through numerous Instagram DMs and Bubble messages. 
In December 2021, Eunji, citing interference from individuals overly fixated on her, announced the suspension of her Bubble service. The Seoul Central District Court noted that “despite the significant mental and emotional distress inflicted on the victim, Cho remained unrepentant and refused to acknowledge her actions."
