Comedian Jung Cheol-gyu, who received great love for his 'Blanca' character, revealed that he was assaulted by a senior comedian.

On the 26th, a video titled "Comedian Ddonggun!! Why did I get hit while wearing a seatbelt in the car?? Senior is bad. Special recruit Blanca" was released on the YouTube channel 'Namumiki Investigation Agency'.

That day, Jung Cheol-gyu revealed the behind-the-scenes story of being selected as a special recruit comedian and recounted how he was assaulted by a senior comedian.

He said, "I wasn't hit by those people we know; I was hit by someone else," adding, "The (beating) messages you all know about—Messi and Ronaldo—have nothing to do with me."

He continued, "Someone at the level of Eden Hazard or Iniesta," explaining, "At that time, I had an unprecedented contract. I was doing well with CFs and everything, so senior comedians around me asked, 'Why did you sign such a contract?' They said it was a minimum 30 million won deal, signed without even a signing bonus."

He then added, "I told them I wanted to work with the place that first reached out to me rather than money. But when the senior comedian was having a meeting with the writer, he told me to come out in front of a coffee shop. The gist was, 'Someone is offering you 30 million won.' Then he told me to get into the car. I thought we were going somewhere since I had fastened my seatbelt, but he hit my cheek. Have you ever been hit squarely on the cheek? My nose and eyes were hit together, and tears immediately came out," recalling the situation at the time.

Jung Cheol-gyu added, "I was so angry that I turned my face to one side after being hit only once, and then our eyes met. He asked why I was glaring and hit me again. At that moment, I couldn't argue back and just said sorry. When I returned, the writer saw my face and asked, 'Why does your face look like this?' I wasn't crying while getting hit, but tears burst out at that moment."
