The assault history of fitness model Ho Ho-seok who is appearing in ‘Eden’ is drawing attention belatedly.
In the iHQ entertainment program ‘Eden’, which was first broadcast on the 14th, 8 male and female performers were revealed. Among them, a fitness model from muscle mania appeared and attracted attention.
Netizens re-examined the past assault case of Ho Ho-seok, and expressed the discomfort of having a person with a criminal record appear on an entertainment program.
In April 2019, Yang Seok was sentenced to six months in prison and two years of probation for assaulting coach Cha Oh-reum, a former figure skater, at a bar in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and injuring him six weeks ago.
Also, in May 2020, the case of being sent to the prosecution on charges of assault at a club in Gangnam-gu, Seoul also surfaced again.
Viewers are raising their voices of criticism against the production team who hired Ho Sang-seok, who was charged with assault twice. In particular, there is a continuing demand for Mr. Ho Ho-seok to drop out of the program.
As this controversy continued, Yang Seok posted on his SNS on the 18th, “I reflected a lot during the three years of self-reflection. I will accept criticism from the past, too.”
However, the reaction of netizens is still cold. With voices demanding to leave the show, attention is focused on what kind of decision the production team of ‘Eden’ will make.
