Actor Cho Jin-woong, who announced his retirement, has been reported.
Recently, a video titled "Where and What Is Cho Jin-woong Doing Now?" was posted on the YouTube channel of "The Fact."
Cho Jin-woong announced his retirement in December last year due to allegations such as juvenile offenders, drunk driving, and assault convictions. At the time, he said, "I bow down and apologize for disappointing everyone who believed in me and supported me due to my unpleasant past events. I humbly accept all these rebukes, and as of today, I am going to stop all activities and put an end to the actor's path. I think this is the responsibility and duty I deserve for my past mistakes," he said.
According to the video, reporter Kang Il-hong said, "After (Cho Jin-woong's retirement), his activities are hardly known. He said, "We have completely blocked not only external activities but also media contact," adding, "We have cut off contact with close acquaintances." "There is a message from inside and outside the film industry that they will hope to be quietly forgotten over time as they have acknowledged all the past," he said.
Meanwhile, due to the Cho Jin-woong incident, the airing of the new TV drama "Second Signal" (Signal 2) has become unclear.
