Model and broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung has sided with comedian Jo Se-ho, who was embroiled in controversy over rumors of his friendship with organized crime members.

On the 18th, a video titled "Hong Jin-kyung's recent thoughts shared with her 30-year best friend Jo Ja-uni (+Jeong Sun-hee)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Real Genius Hong Jin-kyung."

That day, Hong Jin-kyung said, "Why am I getting so many hate comments lately? I'm depressed. Why are people cursing me like this? When I see that, I get very depressed. Even though I haven't done anything wrong, if I get cursed..." She then added, "If you keep cursing someone else's life, your own life will get messed up."

Hong Jin-kyung, who was depressed over the hate comments, declared, "I'm going to retire soon. I'm going to say everything I want to say." She continued, "People's hearts are so different. Just thinking 'I'll retire' makes me feel really relieved."

However, she soon expressed regret over mentioning retirement, saying, "I think they'll ask me to edit 95% of it. They'll probably say, 'PD-nim, I was in a burnout state that day, please cut it just once.'"

At the same time, she clarified, "This is me. I don't know about other places, but I want to show myself without any additions or omissions on my channel."

Afterward, Hong Jin-kyung met with acquaintances including Jeong Sun-hee and had a meal. Regarding Jeong Sun-hee, Hong said, "She went through such great pain, but strangely, people attacked the older sister who suffered. She didn't deserve to be cursed."

She continued, "Her own life suddenly collapsed, and on top of that, she received unknown curses, so it was like a snail entering its own shell. No matter what, she couldn't get it out."

Hong Jin-kyung also mentioned Jo Se-ho. She explained, "Jo Se-ho is like that in my circle. He's a person who likes people. And he can't refuse. Usually, when people you don't know well ask for a drink, you don't go, but because he's just a nice person, he says 'Hyung-nim, Hyung-nim.' Then if they ask for a photo, he takes it, and that's how they become close. He doesn't know well what that person does behind the scenes."

She added, "Se-ho is exactly that case. When I told him (to Jo Se-ho), 'You should say something,' he replied, 'I won't do it even if I die.' He said, 'People will just find out.'"

Hong Jin-kyung said, "This time, watching Se-ho, I felt he was too elegant in his conduct. Didn't he feel aggrieved? But he just stayed quiet. I learned a lot just by watching him stay quiet until the muddy water settled."

Upon hearing this, Jeong Sun-hee said, "Staying quiet is the most intense war. It's a fight with yourself that wants to strike out."

Meanwhile, Jo Se-ho was embroiled in a scandal related to his private life at the end of last year. At that time, a netizen named A revealed that a person B, identified as a gangster, had a friendship with Jo Se-ho. As a result of this fallout, Jo Se-ho withdrew from programs he was appearing in, such as tvN's variety show "You Quiz on the Block" and KBS 2TV's "2 Days & 1 Night." Although Jo Se-ho had no specific criminal charges, he decided to withdraw as a sign of self-reflection, stating, "I feel a deep sense of responsibility for the misunderstandings and scandals recently raised against me."
