Broadcaster Cho Se-ho, who is resuming activities through YouTube, will share his thoughts regarding suspicions of close ties with organized crime figures.

According to a StarNews investigation on the 5th, Cho Se-ho is scheduled to share his recent status and feelings via his YouTube channel, "How Do I Get There If I Don't Know," that afternoon. This marks his first direct public statement through his own YouTube channel in approximately one year since suspicions of close ties and business involvement with an individual identified as a member of organized crime surfaced at the end of last year.

This YouTube activity is expected to have a significant impact on whether he will make a full return to broadcasting. Attention is focused on whether this appearance will serve as a signal for his official comeback. On that day, Cho Se-ho plans to introduce the newly launched YouTube content, "How Do I Get There If I Don't Know," while sharing his recent status and future resolve, aiming to communicate with the public after a long absence.

"How Do I Get There If I Don't Know" is a content series in which Cho Se-ho, who previously brought great laughter under the nickname "Pro Non-Participant," accepts viewer submissions and personally visits locations requested by applicants to engage in communication and conversation. The channel account includes the introductory phrase, "Cho Se-ho is a famous Pro Participant (~2026)."

The direction is handled by PDs Kim Min-seok and Park Geun-hyung, who co-led the early stages of the tvN variety program "You Quiz on the Block." The intent is to recreate once again the everyday fun that was created by meeting citizens on the streets during the early days of "You Quiz on the Block."

Meanwhile, Cho Se-ho faced difficulties at the end of last year when suspicions of close ties with Mr. Choi, who was identified as a member of organized crime, arose. At the time, an internet user claimed that Cho Se-ho had a close relationship with Mr. Choi and was involved in his business.

As a result, Cho Se-ho withdrew from variety programs he was appearing on, such as tvN's "You Quiz on the Block" and KBS 2TV's "1 Night 2 Days." He continued to appear in Netflix's season-based variety show "Doriver."

At the time, Cho Se-ho stated that while there were no specific criminal charges, he "feels a deep sense of responsibility for the misunderstandings and rumors recently raised about me," and decided to withdraw as a form of self-reflection. Regarding photos taken with Mr. Choi, he bowed his head, saying, "I should have been more cautious about my relationships with people around me, but I did not handle it maturely."

However, he maintained a firm stance against baseless rumors. His agency, A2Z Entertainment, stated, "Legal actions to restore our damaged image are planned to proceed more swiftly and firmly in the future."
