"Culinary Class Wars 2" Lim Seong-geun confessed to three past drunk-driving offenses, and it appears he will not be seen on Hangout With Yoo, where his appearance had been under negotiation.
On the 19th, a representative of MBC entertainment program Hangout With Yoo (abbreviated "Hangout") told OSEN, "Chef Lim Seong-geun's appearance on Hangout was not confirmed and was under negotiation. Filming also did not proceed," they said.
Chef Lim Seong-geun is a figure who appeared as a White Spoon on the recently released Netflix original variety show Culinary Class Wars: cooking class wars 2 (abbreviated Culinary Class Wars 2). He attracted intense attention, receiving taste evaluations beyond expectations thanks to his friendly manner and flashy cooking skills. On that basis, he was even regarded as the biggest beneficiary of Culinary Class Wars 2.
However, on the 18th he suddenly confessed past drunk-driving offenses by posting a video titled "Food and drinking" on his personal YouTube channel ImjjangTV. He said he was caught driving under the influence three times over the past 10 years and received criminal punishment, and that the most recent arrest was five to six years ago. He additionally released a handwritten apology, but public criticism continues.
Coincidentally, on the 14th news surfaced that Chef Lim Seong-geun would appear on Hangout With Yoo. Because Chef Lim Seong-geun drew attention when he appeared on tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block, curiosity arose about whether he would reunite with host Yu Jae-seok through Hangout.
But at that time Hangout officials said, "Chef Lim Seong-geun's appearance is not confirmed and is currently under negotiation," taking a reserved position. In this regard a Hangout representative told OSEN once more, "Even at the time of the initial report, Chef Lim Seong-geun's appearance was not confirmed. Filming had not been conducted, and it was not a situation where his appearance for this week's recording was being discussed," they explained.
