Chef Lim Sung-geun is experiencing a backlash by confessing his past drunk driving history.

As of the afternoon of the 19th, the number of subscribers to Im Sung-geun's YouTube channel "Im Sung-geun Im Jjang TV" was about 960,000. The YouTube channel, which had 990,000 existing subscribers and was 1 million ahead, has decreased by about 30,000.

This caused a stir when Lim Sung-geun confessed to drunk driving in the past through his YouTube channel on the 18th. He voluntarily confessed that he had been caught drunk driving as many as three times as recently as five to six years ago, starting with his first drunk driving about 10 years ago.

As the controversy grew after the confession, he even posted a handwritten apology. He said, "I would like to confess the great mistakes of the past that remained a heavy burden in the corner of my heart, and sincerely apologize for them and ask for forgiveness. Drunk driving is my fault and a mistake that cannot be excused for any reason, he said. "At the time, I deeply regretted it and received legal punishment, and over the past few years, I have had time to reflect on myself. However, as I have recently received too much love, I thought that it was not a deception or courtesy to you who believed in me to work with past mistakes buried. I decided that it would be the right thing to do to confess and apologize for this with my own mouth before it's too late, so I'm posting this today," he said.

At a time when he was greatly loved as a 'black and white chef 2', he was at the center of controversy, with various suspicions raised following his confession of drunk driving.

In particular, there was a firestorm in the broadcasting industry. It is expected that appearances in entertainment shows such as "Salon Drip," a web entertainment show scheduled to be released on the 23rd, and MBC's "Point of Omniscient Intervention" on the 24th will also be disrupted. JTBC's "Knowing Bros" and KBS 2TV's "Pyeon Restaurant," which were scheduled to be recorded, canceled his appearance.
