"Three DUI Offenses"... 'Culinary Class Wars 2' Lim Seong-geun, Starts to Cut Ties with Confession of Conscience

In the Netflix variety show 'Culinary Class Wars: Cooking Class War Season 2', Chef Lim Seong-geun, who was enjoying a second peak with his brilliant talk and skills, confessed to his past DUI history, but the public's reaction is cold and harsh. The broadcasting industry has already begun to erase Lim Seong-geun.

According to the broadcasting industry on the 20th (Korean time), Lim Seong-geun revealed on his YouTube channel on the 18th, "I have been caught drinking and driving about three times in the past 10 years."

◆ "Caught sleeping in the car" explanation... "Three times is a habit"

Lim Seong-geun explained, "I was caught by the police while sleeping in the car after drinking, and the most recent incident was 5-6 years ago, after which my license was revoked and I obtained it again." He stated, "Hiding past mistakes while receiving love is deception," revealing the reason for his confession, but the public is raising criticism, saying, "It's not just once, but three times is habitual." The number of YouTube subscribers, which had soared to 990,000, has turned to a decline immediately after the controversy.

◆ Chef Ahn Seong-jae's 'cut-off'

The response of Chef Ahn Seong-jae, a judge and colleague on 'Culinary Class Wars 2', is also a hot topic. Ahn Seong-jae modified the thumbnail of the 'Culinary Class Wars 2 Review' video he posted on his channel on the 3rd immediately after the controversy. The original thumbnail featured Lim Seong-geun's face prominently, but in the revised version, his presence was noticeably reduced, and the subtitles were changed from 'Arrogant Man' to comments related to 'Newlyweds'. Netizens are reacting, saying, "Ahn Seong-jae's cut-off is quick and precise."

◆ Broadcasting industry, is it going to discard filmed content?

The broadcasting industry is in an emergency. The team of KBS2 'New Menu Launch' has abruptly canceled Lim Seong-geun's recording schedule. MBC 'My Little Television', which has already completed recording, is struggling with scheduling, and shows like 'What Do You Do When You Play?' and 'Knowing Bros', which were in discussions for appearances, have also withdrawn or postponed their invitations. An industry insider predicted, "A history of three DUIs is a serious matter that can be grounds for banning appearances, so editing or complete editing will be inevitable."
