Comedian Park Jong-wook took to his own platform to clarify that he was mistakenly identified as the person involved in the 'SBS public recruitment comedian bar disturbance' incident, sparking mixed reactions in YouTube comments on his explanation video.

On the 17th, Park Jong-wook released a video titled "Sorry for the Public Recruitment Comedian Bar Disturbance" through his YouTube channel.

At the beginning of the video, with his head bowed, Park Jong-wook said, "I'm sorry for the public recruitment comedian disturbance," creating an impression that he was the person involved in the incident.

However, he soon introduced himself as "Park Jong-wook, a 16th-generation SBS public recruitment comedian who performed under the name Kim Geu-ra," clarifying that he had no connection to the incident.

Park Jong-wook further explained that he posted the video to clear up misunderstandings after receiving calls from acquaintances asking, "I'm calling because of the comedian disturbance incident. Is it you?" He then added his signature humor, saying, "I don't even have money to go drink soju in Mapo," and suggested that having two bowls of bone soup and three bottles of soju in Namyangju would be more realistic.

Some netizens reacted with amusement to Park Jong-wook's explanation style, saying things like, "Comedians are supposed to be funny like this," and "He was misunderstood; let's understand this level of attention-seeking."

On the other hand, some expressed discomfort that Park Jong-wook, who had no connection to the incident, created a video based on it. Comments included, "It's absurd to use even this kind of incident for comedy," "Why post such a video if you're not involved?" and "What does 'Sorry for the disturbance' mean? Is this clickbait?"

Meanwhile, JTBC's 'Event Chief' reported on the 15th that a man identified as an SBS public recruitment comedian, referred to as Mr. A, allegedly caused a disturbance at a whiskey bar near Hongdae Station in Mapo-gu, Seoul, on the 2nd by using profanity and throwing beer glasses. Mr. A's side explained that he was angry because foreign customers and the establishment owner behaved rudely, and that they did not pay the bill because the owner told them to leave without paying.

Park Jong-wook repeatedly reiterated his stance that he had no connection to the incident, pleading, "Please stop contacting me about this. I'm sick of it. It's not me who caused the public recruitment comedian disturbance."
