Chung, along with Chu ho-young and Park Hyung-jun, was a close associate of President Lee Myung-bak but later became critical of him and the leadership of the Grand National Party after Lee's election.[1] On 26 August 2011, he described Lee Myung-bak's fair society governance as a failure due to the prime minister-led surveillance against civilians in 2010.[2]

The Minjoo Party's Kim Young-ho took his seat in the National Assembly at the 20th general election, held on 13 April 2016.[3]

Death

Chung committed suicide, aged 62, in a park in Seoul on 16 July 2019.[4]
