Comedian Park Jong-wook took to social media to clarify that he was not the individual involved in the 'SBS Public Recruitment Comedian Causing a Disturbance in a Bar' incident after being mistaken as the perpetrator.

On the 17th, Park Jong-wook posted a video on his Instagram alongside the message "I apologize for the public recruitment comedian's bar disturbance." In the video, he bowed his head and said, "I am sorry," before introducing himself: "I am Park Jong-wook, an SBS Class 16 comedian. I was active under the name Kim Geura."

He explained the reason for posting the video by saying, "This morning at 9 a.m., I received numerous calls from acquaintances. They asked, 'Did you make the call about the comedian disturbance incident? Are you the one?' I received many concerned messages and contacts from people."

On the 15th, JTBC's 'Incident Commander' reported that a man identified as an SBS public recruitment comedian, referred to as Male A, allegedly caused a disturbance at a whiskey bar in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 2nd by using profanity and throwing beer glasses.

In response, Park Jong-wook repeatedly emphasized that he was not involved in the incident, interspersing his remarks with his signature humor.

Park said, "I don't have the money to go drink soju in Mapo." He added, "I am currently in Namyangju. If I had enough money to drink soju in Mapo, I would consider taxi and proxy fees, so I'd just call a friend from my neighborhood and eat two bowls of bone soup with three bottles of soju for about 40,000 to 50,000 won. That's probably what they'll settle for."

Park also stated, "They claim Male A said his shoulder was dislocated, but my shoulder hasn't been dislocated since yesterday. I haven't had a dislocated shoulder since playing a game at a drinking party about six months ago." He further added, "There's also the incident of throwing a beer glass, but I have never thrown a beer glass before."

Finally, he pleaded, "Please, comedians, stop contacting me. It's not me who caused the public recruitment comedian disturbance. I'm sick of it."

Meanwhile, according to 'Incident Commander,' Male customers A and B visited a whiskey bar near Hongdae Station in Mapo-gu, Seoul, around 11 p.m. on the 2nd and ordered beer and whiskey.

They engaged in conversation with foreign men who had entered the bar. As they were concluding their conversation and shaking hands, B suddenly provoked them by asking, "Why are you touching me?" Staff and employees intervened to stop the confrontation. The foreign customers then left the establishment, but A protested to the owner, saying, "Why aren't you siding with Koreans? Why do you side with foreigners?"

The owner claimed, "This isn't about taking sides. When I told them not to do that, they shouted, 'Why are you so rude?' and 'I'll make sure you go out of business.' Then, while shouting, they revealed their identity by saying, 'I am SBS OOO, a public recruitment comedian.'"

As Male A continued to throw beer glasses on the floor and act threateningly, the owner eventually called the police. The owner stated, "When the police arrived after a staff member touched Male A's shoulder while trying to stop him, he claimed, 'I was assaulted and my shoulder is dislocated.'"

The released video shows a staff member making contact with Male A's arm during an attempt to restrain him. The staff member is reportedly of a slender build weighing around 40 kilograms. The owner mentioned that the staff member even went to the police station to submit a statement.

According to the owner, Male A and his group drank four beers and one whiskey but did not pay for their drinks. The reason given was that the owner had removed the bottles to prevent further consumption. The owner said, "I was advised by the police to pursue legal action to recover the cost of the alcohol."

In response, Male A's side explained, "Foreign customers forced their way in despite there being no space and pushed against our sides. I got angry because the manager behaved rudely." Regarding the unpaid bill, they stated, "The manager removed the glasses we were drinking from and told us to leave, so we didn't pay."

It is reported that the owner filed a criminal complaint against Male A for property damage, business obstruction, and dining without payment, while filing a complaint against his companion, Male B, for dining without payment.
