I rowed when the water came in and sank the ship on my own.
Chef Lim Sung-geun, a former "Black and White Chef 2", confessed to his past of three drunk driving times, causing the cliff to fall. It seemed to enjoy its second heyday by quickly emerging as a "general chef," but the sweetness of its popularity did not last long.
On the 18th, Lim Sung-geun said on his personal YouTube channel "Im Sung-geun Im Jjang TV" that he was caught drunk driving three times until recently, starting with his first drunk driving about 10 years ago.

He said, "I've been a little careful about alcohol since five or six years ago. It's not that I don't eat, but I cut it short. There was also a little bit of a bad thing. I have drunk driving about three times over 10 years. Don't I sleep in the car when I drink. I was caught by the police while sleeping in the car 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," he said.
Lim Sung-geun then said, "The most recent time I was caught in a drunk driving crackdown was five to six years ago. At that time, I wanted to hide it all, but if something happens 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 My license was revoked because of criminal punishment and I got my license again.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.

As public opinion deteriorated immediately after the video was released, Lim Sung-geun immediately released a handwritten apology. He said, "I would like to confess the great mistakes of the past that remained a heavy burden in the corner of my heart, and sincerely apologize for them 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 over the past few years I have had time to reflect on myself with self-reflection. However, as I have recently received too much love, I thought that it was not a deception or courtesy to you who believed in me to work with 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 posted this today," he explained.
In addition, Lim Sung-geun said, "I sincerely apologize once again for being disappointed by my careless behavior. I will not forget my past mistakes and live by governing myself to become a cook who can have a good influence on society. Once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone who trusted me," he said repeatedly.

Despite the handwritten apology, public opinion is at a disastrous level as it is cold. Criticism is mounting that it is "not sincere" in that it was caught three times, not just a mistake, and that he reluctantly confessed his mistake when it became popular.
Even at this point in time when the perception that drunk driving is a potential murder that threatens not only the lives of oneself but also the lives of others has become solidified, the "drunk driving strikeout" is expected to be a stigma that is virtually impossible to return to.
Meanwhile, Lim Sung-geun also explained the suspicion of school violence on the 16th. He said, "Some people said, 'Isn't Im Jjang involved in school violence because he has a wild personality?' But I didn't go to school, so I didn't have any controversy," he said, blocking the suspicion in advance. In addition, Lim Sung-geun said, "When I was in the third grade of middle school, I left home, worked, and was caught again, and as soon as I entered high school, I came out again. I didn't have time to go to school. You don't have to worry," he said.
