Comedian Jo Se-ho's involvement with gangsters was first raised by netizen A, who has promised further revelations, causing the controversy to spread even more.
On the 8th, A stated on their SNS, "In fact, I am also a person, and I am afraid of gangsters," while expressing their intention to continue exposing. Regarding the allegations of receiving money, they dismissed it, saying, "People around me keep asking if I received money, but absolutely not. I haven't received even a single 1,000 won, and even if there are people who want to sponsor me, I absolutely did not accept it."
A continued, "From tomorrow (the 9th), I will fight one by one until the truth prevails," hinting at additional revelations related to Jo Se-ho. In particular, A raised specific allegations, stating, "I have received many tips about money laundering for gambling, so I will post about that once."
Additionally, A urged Jo Se-ho, saying, "Please don't just keep suing, but clarify like a man, as I like comedian Jo Se-ho."
Previously, A had caused controversy by revealing a photo of Jo Se-ho with a gangster named Choi, claiming that Jo received money and expensive gifts from him. A criticized, asking, "Is it okay for a national comedian to be like this?"
In response, Jo Se-ho's agency, A2Z Entertainment, stated on the 5th, "This is merely A's personal speculation and we clearly state that it is not true," adding, "Jo Se-ho and Choi are just acquaintances. The allegation that 'Jo received money or expensive gifts from Choi' is nothing more than A's speculation. It is completely unfounded," indicating potential legal action.
However, the agency acknowledged that the relationship between Jo Se-ho and gangster Choi is 'just acquaintances.' As the controversy continues, the public is raising voices demanding Jo Se-ho's departure from programs he is appearing in, such as KBS 2TV's '1 Night 2 Days Season 4' and tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block.'
