Shin Jung-hwan, formerly of the group Country Kkokko, has opened up about his inner feelings.
On the 30th, Shin Jung-hwan posted a lengthy message on his Instagram, stating, "I've spent a long time thinking about this often. How many places will still call for me in the future? As a head of household, how much longer can I endure? So, I will go anywhere with a grateful heart if they need me."
He continued, "I am also working at a restaurant, making medicine, and watching over support live Excel MCs where many people are worried. Didn't I know what kind of things would come up? I was once at the top, so was this choice easy? No," he revealed.
He added, "I pondered this hundreds of times. There were countless sleepless nights, and I hesitated again and again. In the end, my conclusion was, 'It's better for me to endure than for my family to suffer.' That is the last answer I gave as a head of household."

He also said, "Myeong Ching-man (CEO) is all I am; I am merely a contracted MC," confessing, "When I stand in front of the microphone, I am just one host among many. Honestly, enduring for over twelve hours among much younger friends is quite overwhelming."
He then expressed his wish, "Still, the fact that there are places still seeking me, and that I still have things I can do, is what gets me up every day. Rather than past glory, I want to be remembered at the end of my remaining life with just one phrase: 'You really lived hard.'"
Previously, on the 28th, Shin Jung-hwan appeared on the YouTube channel 'Human Story,' sharing news that he is running a restaurant, which sparked widespread attention. Regarding his shop, which has been open for about a month and a half, he stated, "Monthly sales are 100 million won. I didn't do any promotion, so I was surprised. Many people from the neighborhood have come to visit."
Shin Jung-hwan was indicted in 2010 on charges of overseas gambling and sentenced to eight months in prison. At the time, he drew public outrage by falsely claiming he had contracted dengue fever to hide the allegations. He was subsequently released on parole in December 2011, six months after his incarceration. As a result, he was effectively expelled from the broadcasting industry and ceased his activities.
