### "Walking workers" scandal

The court ruled that the defendant Gu Zinmo, nicknamed "Gu Yi", helped mobilize and distributed bribes together with Cai Nengxiang, nicknamed "Black Pine". They were sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison and 9 months in prison respectively.
The final communication records were not found to be related to Huang, which dispelled the "conspiracy theory".
On the night before the election, Chen Chu's camp held a press conference with the title: "Huang Jun-ying was caught bribing the election". Huang Jun-ying was dissatisfied and sued for violating the election and recall law and the criminal law and aggravated defamation. The prosecutor ruled that the defendants Chen Chu, Kuan Bi-ling, Xiao Yuzheng and Chen Chi-mai would not be prosecuted.
After Huang Jun-ying's defeat, Apollo Chen, spokesman for Huang Jun-ying's campaign team, addressed directly to Chen Ju through press conferences and political commentary programs, saying "If the law proves that Huang Jun-ying is innocent, Chen Ju, do you dare to re-elect?" Chen Chu's campaign headquarters said it would respect judicial investigations.

### "Election invalid" lawsuit

On June 15, 2007, the Kaohsiung District Court issued a first-instance verdict. Chen Chu was ruled to be "invalid for election", but the case for "invalid election" was dismissed. After the verdict of the first trial, both Huang Jun-ying and Chen Ju lodged appeals, on the grounds of the dismissed "invalid election" and the charge of "invalid for election" respectively.
After the second trial, the Kaohsiung branch of the High Court reversed the verdict. It overturned the first trial verdict that the election of Chen Chu was invalid and changed the verdict to be valid.
Huang Jun-ying expressed that he respects judicial decisions and will serve as a political volunteer to assist in the election of party legislators and presidential candidates to win the election.

### Member of Examination Yuan

On June 19, 2008, President Ma Ying-jeou nominated Huang Jun-ying to serve as a member of the 11th Examination Yuan, as a member specialized in business. After the Legislative Yuan approved the nomination, he took office on September 1, 2008.
On January 10, 2014, he died of lung adenocarcinoma at his home in Kaohsiung and later moved to Taipei City.
