One time it's a mistake, three times it's intentional.
Chef Lim Sung-geun, a former "Black and White Chef 2," belatedly confessed to the past of being caught driving under the influence three times.
On the 18th, Im Sung-geun uploaded a video titled "Food and Drinking" on his personal YouTube channel "Im Sung-geun Im Jjang TV."
On this day, Lim Sung-geun confessed that he had been reducing alcohol five to six years ago, and that "a little bad thing happened." The 'bad thing' he mentioned was drunk driving. Lim Sung-geun, who spoke carefully, confessed, "I've drunk driving about three times over 10 years."

According to Lim Sung-geun, he was caught by police while sleeping in a vehicle after drinking alcohol. He said, "I was caught by the police and explained the situation. The police said, "Why are you sitting in the driver's seat with the engine on?" Later, it turned out that you have to turn off the engine and sit down. It happened once then. I think it's been about 10 years. "The last time I was caught in a drunk driving crackdown was five to six years ago," he said.
In the end, Lim Sung-geun was criminally punished and his license was revoked, and he later re-acquired his driver's license. He said, "I don't want to hide it. It's right to apologize. It's not something to hide," he said, publicly apologizing.

Public opinion toward Lim Sung-geun has rapidly deteriorated as he has been gaining global popularity since his appearance on Netflix's entertainment show "Black and White Cook 2." In particular, if it was the first drunk driving caught while sleeping in a vehicle, you can think of it as a mistake out of ignorance, but you cannot pass it over three times by mistake. It's a clear intention.
In response, Lim Sung-geun bowed his head by uploading a handwritten apology on SNS on the same day. Lim Sung-geun said, "I want to confess the big mistake of the past that remained a heavy burden in the corner of my heart and sincerely apologize for it and ask for forgiveness." "Drunk driving is my fault and a mistake that cannot be excused for any reason. At the time, I deeply regretted it and received legal punishment, and I had time to reflect on myself over the past few years."
In addition, he said, "As I have recently become over-loved, I thought that it was not a deception or a courtesy to you who believed in me to work with my 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."
