Shin Jung-hwan recalled his past experience of being incarcerated.

On the 29th, a video titled "Taek Jae-hoon oppa, I'm sorry. After filming 'No Pa-bakku,' Bae Yoon-jeong opened up on Dakter Shin" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Dakter Shin.' In the video, when Bae Yoon-jeong mentioned that she earned a lot of money in 2010 and 2011 as a choreographer for Brave Girls, KARA, and T-ARA, Shin Jung-hwan responded with a wry smile, saying, "That was really the best year for some people."

Shin Jung-hwan was detained on charges including gambling at A Casino in Waterfront Hotel, Cebu, Philippines, on August 28 and 29 of last year, using his own money of 2.5 million won and an additional 8 million won borrowed from companions, totaling 10.5 million won.

He was sentenced to eight months in prison for overseas gambling and other related offenses but was granted parole after serving about six months. After spending time reflecting on his actions, he returned to the entertainment industry in 2017, more than seven years later, but faced cold public opinion and has since appeared only on social media and web variety shows.

Regarding his time in prison, Shin Jung-hwan said, "You can't watch much TV inside. Only news comes on. I sometimes watch that. 'National Singing Contest.' Even though I received the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award, I still went to prison. It was too severe (so no leniency was given)," which drew laughter from viewers.
