Chef Lim Sung-geun (58), a former "Black and White Chef 2", left a earnest request for malicious comments toward his family.
Chef Lim Sung-geun held an interview with Star News in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 22nd.
This was initially arranged to hear how you felt as the largest beneficiary of Global OTT Netflix's "Black and White Cook: Cooking Class War 2" (hereinafter referred to as "Black and White Cook 2"). However, on the 18th, Chef Lim confessed that he had been caught drunk driving three times and became a controversial figure in the "popular chef." Furthermore, another past history has been revealed since then, and the scandal has spread out of control. Drunk driving was not three times but four times (1999, 2009, 2017 and 2020), and it was revealed that it was a total of "six previous crimes," including one assault on both sides and one violation of the Road Traffic Act, which shocked the public.
However, Chef Lim Sung-geun showed an attitude of reflection by conducting the interview as scheduled in order to endure all the arrows of criticism and hand over an apology directly. Chef Lim Sung-geun, who sat facing the reporter with a haggard face, said, "It would be a lie to say that you are in your right mind. Everything just stopped, everything collapsed," he said, strugglingly.
He then said, "I'm a person, so I wanted to run away. Who wants to reveal their own feelings. However, I have never hidden my drunk driving history while participating in survival games three times. YouTube videos were also suspected of "playing players," which is not true at all. There was no such thought at all. Rather, I was more afraid when all the focus of Korea was on me with "Black and White Cook 2" than now. I couldn't handle it because I'm not a celebrity and I've never received such attention. That's why I always thought, 'I have to say it today.' As I became too soft, a confession came out naturally during the YouTube shoot that I was filming with the producer as usual. The production team dissuaded him, but I asked him to pay it as it is. It was released by reservation transmission, but a misunderstanding about the timing arose. It was a coincidence, and it was unexpectedly misunderstood. I blame myself for 'you fool' to be courageous two more weeks, three weeks earlier. I always wanted to reveal it in my head, but I didn't have the courage. I'm a coward until the end, so I think I missed the golden time," he explained.
Chef Lim Sung-geun said, "I'm a person who has nothing. If you're cheated, you've never been cheated, lied to others or made them heartbroken, or lived like that. It's so honest that I even wonder why people are even talking about things they don't want to say. As the saying goes, a thief can't live without his own feet. I want to tell you again that I'm the type to speak truthfully, even though I'm late in confessing. "If it's short, I've been friends with elementary school fans for a short period of time on Instagram, and I really communicated with them from the bottom of my heart," he said.
The reason why I pushed ahead with the interview despite the dissuasion of those around me who were worried was not because of other reasons, but because of malicious comments that went too far toward my family. Chef Lim Sung-geun said, "Hate me and kill me. Stop attacking people around me," he earnestly appealed.
Chef Lim said, "It's going a completely different way than I thought it would be, so I'm so scared and shocked. Seeing the malicious comments running on my wife, even my 4-year-old granddaughter, I thought I should make it clear. The producer also sat next to me for no reason and was struck by it. He reiterated, "Please stop swearing and attacks on families and people around you."
Chef Lim Sung-geun said, "The other thing I wanted to tell you was about 'fake news'. They say I'm a gangster for some kind of power trip and tattoo, but please don't spread rumors. I'm a person who's been abused all my life. have that tender heart. If anyone has been cheated by me at least once, I can even tell them to come out. He said, "I'm not the kind of senseless person who hurts others."
