[Sportschosun Reporter Lee Ge-eun] Actor Choi Cheol-ho bowed his head after once again causing controversy over a drunken disturbance.
On the 17th, MBN released a preview video for "What really happened in the controversial drunken disturbance incident?"
Choi Cheol-ho had previously drawn attention in 2020 when he appeared on "Special Report World" after withdrawing from public view following controversy over allegedly assaulting a female junior colleague and the failure of his business. He said he was working as a day laborer at a parcel logistics center. He later got another chance to return to the spotlight, but in 2022 he was arrested by police after causing a drunken disturbance at the home of a company CEO, sparking fresh controversy.
Looking somewhat worn down, he bowed and said, "Many people supported me after seeing how hard I was trying to live, but I caused another disgraceful incident. I have nothing to say, even if I had 10 mouths."
The program then showed him visiting someone's shop and greeting them by saying, "It's been a month since you opened, but I couldn't come because I was busy." It turned out to be the shop run by the agency CEO involved in the drunken disturbance incident. Choi Cheol-ho told the CEO, "My heart is completely breaking. It's all my fault," once again expressing his apology.
He also broke into tears while visiting his mother's columbarium, where she was laid to rest two years ago. He said, "I'm going crazy. I am the worst of the worst unfilial sons."
In the final scene, Choi Cheol-ho was seen drawing strength from his daughter's support. He told her, "I'm truly sorry, and thank you for growing up so well. I'm working hard now." His daughter encouraged him, saying, "I know you're not a bad person, so it's okay. Don't be too discouraged."
Meanwhile, Choi Cheol-ho appeared in dramas such as "Queen of Housewives," "Immortal Admiral Yi Sun-sin," and "Dae Jo-yeong." He married in 2005 and has one son and one daughter.
