The famous MC of the Korean entertainment industry, Yoo Jae Suk, was also unexpectedly implicated in the G-Dragon drug investigation scandal. Yoo Jae Suk is always on the list of the most beloved stars in Korea.The case of G-Dragon being investigated by the Korean police for drug use is the focus of Asian media. Currently, the investigation agency is still clarifying the case even though G-Dragon has denied using drugs.
In just a few days, G-Dragon’s image in the eyes of the Korean public has been severely affected. In particular, those related to G-Dragon have also been implicated. Among them, the MC famous for his clean image – Yoo Jae Suk – was unexpectedly named in G-Dragon’s scandal.
According to Korean media, national MC Yoo Jae Suk was criticized for allegedly helping G-Dragon and Daesung (2 members of Big Bang) return to the entertainment industry after their personal scandals.
Singer Daesung is participating in the program Hangout With Yoo. In the program, Yoo Jae Suk needed a member for a project group and thought of Daesung.
The national MC said he had not seen Daesung for 7 years. He believes that this is an opportunity for the Big Bang member to return to the stage after a long period of silence.
Daesung is one of 5 members of Big Bang, the iconic group of Korean youth music. In May 2011, Daesung was involved in a car accident on Yanghwa Bridge (Korea). The collision caused the death of a man on a motorbike. The male singer was found to have used alcohol while driving.
Daesung expressed remorse, apologized to the victim’s family, and took full responsibility for the victim’s funeral expenses. In 2021, Daesung was further investigated after the police received a report that an illegal adult entertainment business was operating in a building owned by Daesung.
At that time, Daesung claimed that he had no knowledge of the adult entertainment facility operating in his building. However, the owner of the entertainment facility denied the information. Daesung did not face charges for the incident, but the singer still apologized to fans for being involved in negative news.
After the turmoil in his personal life, Daesung lived a private life, focusing on building his personal YouTube channel and pursuing his business. Apart from the joint project with Big Bang called Still Life, which was released in early 2022, Daesung has had almost no outstanding artistic activities in recent years.
His participation in Yoo Jae Suk’s Hangout With Yoo program is considered a new mark for the male singer, helping him to heat up his name. However, just a few days after the first episode with Daesung’s participation aired, G-Dragon’s scandal exploded in the Korean media, affecting Daesung as well.
Two episodes featuring Daesung on the show Hangout With Yoo suddenly disappeared from social media platforms. A day later, these two episodes reappeared.
Regarding the issue of hiding videos related to Daesung, the producer of the show Hangout With Yoo said: “The video is temporarily hidden because we found some details that need to be edited.”
Specifically, the show’s production crew decided to delete the segments mentioning G-Dragon in the show. In particular, the scene where Daesung imitates G-Dragon or the scene where actor Joo Woo Jae recreates G-Dragon’s choreography were both cut out.
As the person who helped Daesung return to the entertainment industry, MC Yoo Jae Suk received negative reactions from the audience. In addition, when G-Dragon’s suspected drug use scandal was the focus of public opinion in Korea, the talented Korean MC could not avoid being criticized.
Yoo Jae Suk is said to have helped G-Dragon rebuild his positive image after his marijuana scandal in 2011 by inviting the idol singer to participate in the program Infinity Challenge. The program has a special favor for G-Dragon when the male singer appears with high frequency even though he is only a guest.
