On the 20th, Chef Lim Seong-geun’s side stated to iMBC Entertainment regarding various unconfirmed rumors, including allegations of abuse of power, that “the content is unfounded.”
Previously, one netizen left a comment on a post about Chef Lim Seong-geun in an online community and said, “It’s not just about drinking.” There are still a lot of things to explode about from alcohol, women, and abuse of power by business partners. “Everyone in the food industry knows this,” he said, adding, “I used my fame to make small food companies act like they were my own factories. Still, it seems like he is being careful even though he calls himself a semi-celebrity,” he claimed.
In relation to this, Lim Seong-geun’s side stated, “”It is not true at all.””
Meanwhile, Lim Seong-geun gained popularity by appearing as a white spoon in season 2 of Netflix’s ‘Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War’, which was recently released. He has also expanded his broadcasting career, including quickly appearing on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
However, on the 18th, he suddenly uploaded a video on his YouTube channel confessing his history of drunk driving, confusing netizens. Lim Seong-geun confessed, “I have been drunk about three times over the past 10 years,” and “the most recent drunk driving arrest was 5 to 6 years ago.”
“I want to hide it all, but if it happens later (if it becomes known), won’t many people be hurt? What I did was wrong. I don’t want to avoid it. So, come to your senses and don’t drink and drive anymore. “I was subject to criminal punishment and my license was revoked, but I got my license again,” he added.
