Comedian Choi Seong-hoon revealed the reason why he suddenly vanished after actively engaging in broadcasting activities.

Choi Seong-hoon appeared on MBN’s current affairs and culture program "Teukjong Sesang," which aired on the 12th.

Choi Seong-hoon made a name for himself by sweeping through the comedy scene in 1990. In particular, he gained great popularity with the "Tarzan Song," which features the lyrics "Tarzan wearing 10-won underwear." However, Choi suddenly disappeared from the broadcasting industry.

Regarding the reason for halting his activities, he stated, "At that time, I was saying I would do a karaoke (music source) business. It wasn’t that I intentionally avoided broadcasting; rather, it naturally became impossible for me to continue."

Choi explained, "I didn’t quit; I simply couldn’t do it due to circumstances. For example, I had an idea in the IT sector, so I developed it and succeeded, and we had 100 people working on our side. Because I focused on that, I couldn’t manage both simultaneously." However, he failed in the karaoke music source business, and subsequent ventures also failed one after another.

He also said that running a business left him with trauma regarding people. Choi stated, "When I dealt with them for business, they would ask about celebrities. To lighten the mood, I initially tried to make them laugh. But things didn’t go well. These people had preconceptions about me." He added, "My face used to stiffen up when meeting people. Looking back now, I learned a lot. I paid too high a tuition fee."
