After six years of silence, Kim Gun-mo is unexpectedly mentioned on Jeong Joon-ha's YouTube … "What has he been up to lately?"
Once referred to as a 'national singer,' Kim Gun-mo has been out of the entertainment industry for six years. He has completely disappeared from official appearances, social media, and broadcasts, but he is making a surprising return to public discussions through Jeong Joon-ha's YouTube content.
On the 22nd, broadcaster Jeong Joon-ha released a video on his YouTube channel "Jeong Joon-ha-ha" capturing his challenge of riding a bicycle. That day, he visited a high-end bicycle store in Bundang and looked at foldable bicycles worth from several million to ten million won.
Jeong Joon-ha expressed his affection, saying, "I've had this bicycle for over 10 years. I came here because I saw a discontinued model at a department store."
Then, in a corner of the store, a bicycle caught Jeong Joon-ha's eye. He remarked, "It's really pretty," to which a store employee explained, "That model is famous for being ridden by Kim Gun-mo." When he immediately asked about the price, the response was a staggering 17 million won. After being informed that it is a rare model limited to 100 to 191 units produced worldwide, Jeong Joon-ha was unable to hide his surprise, stuttering, "Is this...?"
A scene from this video has sparked a surge of interest in Kim Gun-mo's recent activities. Following the broadcast, online communities and comment sections have been filled with reactions like, "What is Kim Gun-mo really doing these days?", "I suddenly became curious," and "Isn't he making a comeback?"
Currently, it has been six years since Kim Gun-mo stopped his activities. Although he has cleared himself of sexual assault allegations, he has maintained a low profile. In 2019, Kim Gun-mo faced serious career damage after being accused of sexual assault by a worker identified as A. Following the allegation, he was abruptly removed from the SBS entertainment show "My Little Old Boy" and also ceased music activities.
However, after more than two years of investigation, the prosecution decided not to indict him, and both A's appeal and re-examination application were dismissed. Legally, he has completely cleared the allegations. Nonetheless, Kim Gun-mo has yet to make any attempts at a comeback, and in 2022, he announced his divorce from his wife, Jang Ji-yeon, after two years and eight months of marriage.
