Actor Ko Gyeong-pyo, who caused a drunk driving accident, was spotted on "Sixth Sense: B-Side." Previously, the production team stated they would edit his appearance to the maximum extent, but he was not fully edited out.
On the 15th, in the afternoon broadcast of tvN's variety show "Sixth Sense: B-Side," model Shin Hyun-ji and actor Lee Sang-yeop appeared as guests.
In that day's broadcast, Ko Gyeong-pyo, who caused a controversy due to drunk driving, also appeared. Ko Gyeong-pyo made his entrance with a bright smile.
Previously, the production team stated, "To avoid any inconvenience to viewers, we plan to edit Ko Gyeong-pyo's appearance to the maximum extent."
Accordingly, a significant portion of Ko Gyeong-pyo's individual segments was edited out, but he remained visible in group scenes and some footage, meaning he was not completely edited out.
Ko Gyeong-pyo caused an accident on the morning of the 14th at approximately 3:30 a.m. in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, by driving a vehicle while intoxicated and colliding with a street sweeper. At the time, his blood alcohol concentration measured at 0.150%, significantly exceeding the 0.08% threshold for license revocation.
As a result, emergency measures were taken regarding the variety show Ko Gyeong-pyo is appearing in. In MBC's variety show "What Are You Doing?", which aired on the day of the accident, Ko Gyeong-pyo's individual lines and solo scenes were edited out, and he was briefly visible only in shots featuring the entire cast.
The side of tvN's "Amazing Saturday," where Ko Gyeong-pyo recently completed a recording as a guest, also stated, "The broadcast date has not yet been determined" and "We plan to edit to the maximum extent to avoid any inconvenience to viewers."
Similarly, deep concerns are being raised over his appearance in tvN's "Bo Geum Magical Season 2," which will air for the first time on the 29th, and Tving's original variety show "Great Escape: Urban Legends," which will be released on the 2nd of next month.
On the 15th, Ko Gyeong-pyo posted an apology statement directly on his SNS, stating, "I will earnestly cooperate with the police investigation. I will take the necessary measures to recover from the damage caused by the accident and bear all responsibility according to the disposition. I will suspend all scheduled activities." He also bowed his head, saying, "I will never forget the shame I feel toward myself regarding this incident, and I will hold onto myself and live. I am truly sorry."
