'The God of Variety Shows' broadcaster Shin Dong-yup has finally bowed his head.

On the 3rd, while discussing topics related to musicals on his YouTube channel 'Jjanhan-hyeong Shin Dong-yup' with Boom, Nucksal, and Hanhae, Shin Dong-yup became embroiled in controversy over careless remarks that belittled small theaters in Daehangno.

On that day, responding to Boom's comment that he met friends performing musicals in Daehangno who were covering their forehead microphones while talking, Shin Dong-yup said, "No one does that. Daehangno generally has many small theaters, so they don't perform musicals there. Since musicals are performed in large theaters, what is done in Daehangno is truly a small theater musical. They don't even need to wear microphones. Where did you hear that X-rumor?"

Shortly after the remarks were made public, some members of the public raised suspicions that Shin Dong-yup had belittled the performance industry in Daehangno and small theater musicals. Despite the fact that forehead microphones are often worn even at small theater musicals held in Daehangno, Shin Dong-yup ignored this and belittled it.

Consequently, Shin Dong-yup posted a lengthy apology through 'Jjanhan-hyeong Shin Dong-yup'.

"I sincerely bow my head to apologize to everyone who was hurt and disappointed by my careless remarks," began Shin Dong-yup, adding, "Daehangno is a very meaningful and special place for me. I have experienced deep resonance and moved by watching numerous masterpieces in Daehangno. Therefore, I always held feelings of affection and respect for the stages and performing arts of Daehangno."

He continued, "In the process of conversation with cast members during the broadcast, I was too focused on jokes exchanged and made light remarks that failed to consider the actual environment on-site and the hard work of many people. Once again, from the bottom of my heart, I apologize to everyone who felt discomfort and hurt due to my inadequate words and actions. In the future, no matter what occasion it is, I will be more careful with my words and actions, and always maintain a humble attitude toward the dedication of those who create stage arts."
