Comedian Cho Sae-ho spent time meeting closely with fans after the controversy.
On the 12th, Cho Sae-ho shared a short-form video titled "Cho Sae-ho who cannot miss even a single fan" on his social account.
The video contains part of the first episode of the Netflix variety show "Screwballs season 6," which was released on the 8th, and shows the cast shopping at Dongmyo.
That day Cho Sae-ho responded "thank you" to a passing citizen's remark "you're handsome." Then, when a fan asked "can you take a photo?" he said "yes, sure" and took a photo on the spot, and when praised "you're cool" he bowed his head and said "thank you."
Later, when a high school fan asked for an autograph, he even signed it, and when asked "is Mr. Joo Woo-jae coming too?" he replied "Woo-jae seems to be somewhere else right now." He also joked, "All the first-year high schoolers were great, but at the end they brought up Joo Woo-jae. That's a shame."
In particular, appearing alongside Cho Sae-ho, who expressed gratitude individually to each fan's support, subtitles such as "one person who is newly grateful for this response. skinship with fans shared after a long time. precious people who like me" appeared, conveying Cho Sae-ho's moving feelings.
Cho Sae-ho became embroiled in allegations of ties to organized crime in December last year. Allegations arose that he received expensive gifts from organized crime members and promoted a franchise operated by one of those members, suggesting a close relationship. In response, his agency explained, "It was a simple acquaintance relationship and there was no exchange of money or goods," and Cho Sae-ho also said, "Having performed at various local events for a long time, I met many people I didn't know before. However, the allegations raised because of those connections are completely untrue," he said.
Despite these explanations, negative public opinion poured in, and Cho Sae-ho left KBS2's "2 Days & 1 Night season 4" and tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," and suspended activities except for the Netflix variety series "Screwballs." Meanwhile, on the 7th, breaking about eight months of silence, he resumed SNS activity with a promotional post for the first broadcast of "Screwballs 6" and began communicating with the public.
