Comedian Cho Se-ho announced a new beginning while once again apologizing for allegations of involvement with organized crime.

On the 5th, Cho launched his YouTube channel 'How Do I Get There Without Knowing,' sharing his thoughts on the rumors of close ties to an organized crime group that surfaced last year.

On this day, Cho bowed his head and said, "I would like to sincerely apologize once again to those who were disappointed and those who felt uncomfortable due to the incident that occurred previously."

He continued, "Going forward, above all else, I will become a Cho Se-ho who is more responsible regarding relationships, carefully observes my surroundings, and acts with even greater caution. Next year, I will already be 46 years old," adding, "I still feel that I am far from perfect."

He then stated, "Therefore, through this time, I will strive to become a Cho Se-ho who takes responsibility as an individual and brings you smiles and joy," adding, "I ask for your continued support."

Cho found himself at the center of controversy at the end of last year over suspicions of close ties and business involvement with a person identified as being part of an organized crime group. At the time, one netizen claimed that Cho had a close relationship with Mr. Choi, who was identified as being involved in organized crime, and was also involved in his business.

As a result, Cho withdrew from variety shows he was appearing on, including tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and KBS 2TV's '2 Days & 1 Night.' Cho conveyed his apology by stating, "I feel a deep sense of responsibility for the misunderstandings and rumors that have recently been raised about me," adding, "I should have been more cautious regarding my relationships with those around me, but I failed to handle the situation maturely."

However, he denied suspicions of receiving money or being involved in business dealings. His agency, A2Z Entertainment, stated, "We plan to proceed with legal actions to restore our tarnished image more swiftly and firmly in the future."
