The web entertainment show "Salon Drip" has decided to discard the filming of Chef Lim Sung-geun, who confessed to his drunk driving history.
"Salon Drip" said to Star News on the 21st, "We will not release Lim Sung-geun and Yoon Joo-mo's alcohol-making rounds, which were scheduled to be released on the 23rd."
Hosted by MC Jang Do-yeon, the talk show "Salon Drip" invited Lim Sung-geun and alcohol-making Yoon Joo-mo, who worked with him on Netflix's cooking competition program "Black and White Cook: Season 2 (hereinafter referred to as "Black and White Cook"). However, as negative public opinion spread after Lim Sung-geun's recent confession of his drunk driving history, he decided not to disclose the episode.
Lim Sung-geun was the winner of Olive and tvN's survival program "The Battle of Korean Food 3," and appeared as a chef on "Black and White Cook 2" which ended on the 13th, gaining huge popularity for his boozy and friendly image. Nicknamed "Imjjang," "Pride Sauce Jwa" and "Ajae Maengsoo," he emerged as the biggest beneficiary of "Black and White Cook 2" but faced criticism after confessing to driving under the influence on the 18th.
As the controversy grew, the broadcaster's "hand-off" continued. MBC entertainment program "Omniscient Interfere Viewpoint" decided not to air Lim Sung-geun's appearance, and JTBC entertainment program "Knowing Bros" also canceled Lim Sung-geun's appearance, which was scheduled. On top of that, "Salon Drip" also decided not to disclose the filming, causing trouble for MC Jang Do-yeon, who appeared with him, and guest alcohol maker Yoon Joo-mo.
Earlier, Lim Sung-geun said on his personal YouTube channel "Im Sung-geun Im Jjang TV" on the 18th that he had been caught drunk driving three times until recently, starting with his first drunk driving about 10 years ago. Lim Sung-geun said, "At that time, I wanted to hide it all, but if things happen later, many people will get hurt." What I did wrong is what I did wrong. I don't want to avoid it. That's why I'm not driving under the influence. My license was revoked because of criminal punishment and I got my license again. I don't want to hide it. It's right to apologize. It's not something to hide," he said, bending his head down.
However, since the release of the video, suspicions have been raised over the timing and authenticity of "self-confession," and public opinion has worsened as some media have reported that there have been more cases of drunk driving in the past.
