The reason for his departure is to inform the international community of the current state of affairs under the Lee administration, including the human rights violations against former President Yoon Seok-yeol.
On the same day, Jung uploaded a video he had filmed in advance in the lounge at Incheon Airport to his YouTube channel.
"When this broadcast airs, we're probably on our way to the US or just about to arrive," Chung said in the video.
"I think so," he said, "Even my parents don't know about my departure. There's a possibility that a ban on departure will be imposed, so I decided to leave in secret."
He continued, "President Lee will be holding his first summit with President Trump, and I am quite worried.
"The summit was held without the agenda being adjusted, and there may not be a joint statement. The reason why he cannot be treated as a state guest is because the US does not recognize him.
Chung also stated that "emergency martial law is not a civil war" and repeated his previous assertions, including the "election fraud theory." He also mentioned President Lee's judicial risk and the investigation by the special prosecutor.
"After the live broadcast, I plan to participate in the Truth Forum in Washington and the Korean Forum in the US," Jung said.
