Actor Go Kyung-pyo (36) was subjected to “stop-loss selling” by the production team of “Sixth Sense,” following his earlier involvement in “I Live Alone,” due to a drunk driving incident.

Go Kyung-pyo caused an accident around 3:30 a.m. on the 14th while driving his personal car in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, colliding with a street sweeper truck.

In response, his agency, CLE Company, issued an official apology statement, saying, “We sincerely apologize to those who were harmed by Go Kyung-pyo’s drunk driving accident.” The statement continued, “Go Kyung-pyo was driving under the influence of alcohol in the early hours of today (the 14th) when he collided with a street sweeper truck. A breathalyzer test confirmed that his blood alcohol concentration exceeded the level required for license revocation.”

The agency further stated, “Go Kyung-pyo has completed the police investigation and returned home. He acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it.”

They also added, bowing their heads in apology, “We take the seriousness of the wrongdoing of drunk driving very seriously. We will humbly accept any subsequent disciplinary action and fulfill our responsibilities, including making amends for the damages caused.”

Notably, Go Kyung-pyo was scheduled to appear on the special episode of MBC’s “What Are You Doing?” (hereinafter “I Live Alone”), titled “95 Seoul Music Festival,” that very day, causing significant inconvenience to the production team. As a result, the “I Live Alone” team announced on the 14th, “Go Kyung-pyo’s segments will be edited as much as possible to ensure viewer comfort before broadcast.”

The fallout extended beyond “I Live Alone” to tvN’s “Sixth Sense: B-Side” (hereinafter “Sixth Sense”). Coincidentally, both variety shows are led by the “National MC,” Yoo Jae-suk, meaning they were directly hit.

The “Sixth Sense” team stated, “We plan to edit Go Kyung-pyo’s segments as much as possible in tomorrow’s (the 15th) broadcast and next week’s final episode to ensure viewer comfort,” foreshadowing the complete removal of his appearances.

“I Live Alone” will air at 6:30 p.m. on the 14th, while “Sixth Sense” will air at 7:50 p.m. on the 15th.
