As news spread that comedian Cho Sae-ho, who left a program over alleged ties to gangsters, would return, the online user who first raised the allegation about his acquaintance's gangster ties launched another round of accusations.
A, the first whistleblower, recently said on social media (SNS), "Cho Sae-ho is returning? Because the gangster acquaintance fled overseas and can't be investigated, he's suddenly returning?"
A added, "Oh, really, go ahead and return. Then I'll also release the video filmed at (the gangster acquaintance's) house with his wife."
A said, "I told you to reflect quietly and return, but you're saying you want to go up against me now. Fine."
A went on, "Go ahead and try returning. Just acquaintances? You were just acquaintances, yet before the wedding you introduced your wife and drank together at home? Okay, fine," A warned.
Earlier, Cho Sae-ho stepped down from programs such as 2 Days & 1 Night and You Quiz on the Block over allegations involving a gangster acquaintance. After A claimed Cho Sae-ho had ties with a gangster acquaintance, allegations emerged that Cho received expensive gifts from people suspected of illegal money laundering.
Then on the 31st, news broke that Cho Sae-ho would return to the Netflix variety show "Driver 4." The "Driver" production team said, "Everyone is working hard to prepare the new season," adding, "Cho Sae-ho, following the last season, will join 'Driver' again next season. We ask for your interest and support." It came 22 days after he announced a suspension of activities.
