Chef Lim Sung-geun (58), a former "Black and White Chef 2",'s confession of the "three drunk driving history" has been revealed as a planned statement to reduce the controversy, not a confession of conscience, adding to the stir.

Earlier on the 18th, Chef Lim Sung-geun suddenly confessed to the past of "3 drunk driving caught" through his YouTube channel "Imjjang TV," which shocked the public. Chef Lim recently emerged as a 'trend' in OTT Netflix's 'Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War 2' (hereinafter referred to as 'Black and White Chef 2') by crossing the hot Tetonam and friendly 'Imjjang' charm.

While criticism poured out, some drew attention as a "confession of conscience," leading to advocacy. In addition, chef Lim Sung-geun's explanation that one of the three drunk driving was "caught sleeping with the engine on in the driver's seat" also added to the advocacy.

However, the chef Lim Sung-geun's case entered a new phase on the 19th as the Sunday newspaper reported, "It is a confession of conscience suddenly made in a hurry on the 18th at a time when we decided to meet with a reporter to report on Chef Lim Sung-geun's history of drunk driving and hear his position."

The media said, "On the phone with Chef Lim on the evening of the 17th, I received a promise to meet him in person on the 20th and explain it." Later, on the evening of the 18th, the next day, a video of a drunk driving confession was posted on "Imjjang TV." When the report began, it seems that they tried to block the controversy over drunk driving in advance by borrowing a voluntary apology before reporting. This is similar to the behavior of people who caused social controversy in the past, who tried to lower their level of criticism by preemptively confessing right before reporting when the media began to cover it.

In addition, suspicions were raised that Chef Lim Sung-geun "reduced" the most recent drunk driving incident. The Sunday newspaper said, "According to the ruling on January 15, 2020, Chef Lim was caught driving around 200 meters drunk from one street to another road in Guro-gu, Seoul at around 6:15 a.m. when he was caught in a drunk driving crackdown. At that time, Chef Lim's blood alcohol level was 0.141%, which was far above the level of license cancellation.

Accordingly, on July 16, 2020, the court sentenced the defendant to one year in prison and two years of probation, saying, "The defendant violated the drunk driving ban more than twice and drove a car drunk." In addition, 80 hours of community service and 40 hours of compliance driving lectures were ordered.

It has been confirmed that Chef Lim was also notified of a summary order of 2 million won and 3 million won for drunk driving in 2009 and 2017.
