The appearance of actor Ko Kyung-pyo, who caused a stir due to drunk driving, was captured on "Sixth Sense: B-Side." Although the production team stated they would edit his segments as much as possible, he did not completely disappear from the broadcast.

On the afternoon of the 15th, model Shin Hyun-ji and actor Lee Sang-yeop appeared as guests on tvN's variety show "Sixth Sense: B-Side."

During this episode, Ko Kyung-pyo, who had been embroiled in a drunk driving controversy, was seen on screen. In particular, his bright smile drew attention.

Previously, the production team stated, "We plan to edit his segments as much as possible so that viewers are not inconvenienced." As a result, a significant portion of Ko Kyung-pyo's individual segments were edited out, but his image remained in group scenes and some shots, meaning a complete removal was not achieved.

Earlier, around 3:30 a.m. on the 14th, Ko Kyung-pyo caused an accident by hitting a street sweeper while driving under the influence of alcohol in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. At the time, his blood alcohol concentration measured at 0.150%, significantly exceeding the 0.08% threshold for license revocation.

Subsequently, an emergency response was triggered for variety shows featuring Ko Kyung-pyo. The side of tvN's "Amazing Saturday," where Ko Kyung-pyo recently completed a recording as a guest, also stated, "The broadcast date has not yet been determined" and "We plan to edit as much as possible so that viewers are not inconvenienced."

In fact, on MBC's variety show "What Are You Doing?", which aired on the day of the accident, Ko Kyung-pyo's individual lines and solo scenes were edited out, with his image briefly appearing only in shots featuring the entire cast.

Shows such as tvN's "Bo-geom Magical Season 2," premiering on the 29th, and the TVING original variety show "Great Escape: Urban Legends," to be released on the 2nd of next month, are facing deep deliberation over his participation.

Ko Kyung-pyo also apologized directly through his personal social media account on the 15th. He stated, "I will cooperate sincerely with the police investigation. I will take the necessary measures to recover from the damage caused by the accident and bear all responsibility according to the disposition," adding, "I will suspend all scheduled activities."

He continued, bowing his head, "I will never forget the shame I feel toward myself regarding this incident, and I will live while holding onto myself. I am truly sorry."

Meanwhile, Ko Kyung-pyo had been actively appearing on various variety shows, including tvN's "Sixth Sense: B-Side," but his future broadcasting activities are inevitably set to be disrupted due to this drunk driving accident.
