Actor Ko Gyeong-pyo, who caused a controversy due to drunk driving, has been removed from "Bokgun Magical 2."

According to the Seoul Mapo Police Station on the 14th, Ko Gyeong-pyo was involved in an accident around 3:30 a.m. that day in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, when he rear-ended a street sweeper while driving his personal car. A breathalyzer test revealed that Ko's blood alcohol concentration was 0.150%, which is the level requiring license revocation.

Ko Gyeong-pyo's agency, CLE Company, issued an official statement saying, "We deeply apologize to those who were harmed by the drunk driving accident." The company added, "Ko Gyeong-pyo acknowledges his mistake and is deeply reflecting on it. We are taking the seriousness of the offense of drunk driving very seriously, will humbly accept any penalties imposed in the future, and will fulfill our responsibilities, including making amends for the damages caused."

In the aftermath of the drunk driving incident, Ko Gyeong-pyo is being removed from various places. The production team of the tvN variety show "Bokgun Magical 2," which is scheduled to air its first episode on the 29th, previously deleted a promotional video featuring Ko Gyeong-pyo through their official social media accounts. The deleted video showed Ko making a joke and laughing as he said, "Have you tried the soju bread I made? It's really delicious, right? I learned how to make it from a chef in advance, but I found it so tasty that I ate five of them even though I was the one who made them." However, the video was removed.

The production team of the MBC variety show "What Are You Doing?", in which Ko Gyeong-pyo is currently appearing, stated, "We plan to edit Ko Gyeong-pyo's segments as much as possible so that viewers are not inconvenienced," and subsequently went through an editing process in the actual broadcast to reduce Ko's screen time.

In addition to these two broadcasting programs, the production teams of the currently airing tvN variety show "Sixth Sense: B-Side" and the Tving original variety show "Great Escape: Urban Legends," which is scheduled to be released next month, also plan to remove Ko Gyeong-pyo's appearances as much as possible.

Meanwhile, Ko Gyeong-pyo debuted in 2010 with the KBS drama "Jungle Fish 2." He subsequently enjoyed popularity by appearing in works such as "Undercover Miss Hong," "Reply 1988," "No Secrets," "D.P.," "Connect," "Moon, Water, Gold, Fire, Wood, Earth," "Private Life," "The Best Deliveryman," and "Chicago Typewriter," as well as variety shows like "Nolrocoaster," "Backpacker 2," and "Youth." However, he has brought about his own downfall due to this drunk driving controversy.
