Chef Im Sung-geun Loses TV Bookings as Report Cites More DUI Convictions

A new report says court records list more cases than the three he acknowledged in a now-removed apology video.

Overview

  • Im Sung-geun recently said on his YouTube channel that he was convicted of drunk driving three times over about a decade, with the most recent roughly five to six years ago.
  • JTBC confirmed it canceled his scheduled appearance on Knowing Bros, and KBS2’s Fun-Staurant said his planned participation was called off.
  • The Korea Herald reported that court records show additional convictions beyond his admission, including cases spanning from the late 1990s to 2020.
  • The Herald also noted that his apology video was taken down and that he intends to issue a second apology broadcast.
  • Decisions on other potential appearances, including MBC’s Hangout With Yoo and The Manager and Jang Do-yeon’s Salon Drip, remain under discussion.
