… for helping Daesung and G-Dragon re-enter the entertainment industry after the scandal
Currently, Daesung has participated in the program Hangout With Yoo got 2 episodes. In this program, Yoo Jae Suk needed a member for the project group and found Daesung. The national MC said he hadn’t seen Daesung in 7 years. This is an opportunity for BIGBANG members to return to the stage after a long period of silence.
In 2011, Daesung was prosecuted for causing a fatal accident. However, the male idol was later acquitted because the victim was driving drunk and collided with a vehicle before being hit by Daesung.
By 2019, the male idol continued to get caught up in the noise of harboring a prostitution facility in the building he owned. Although Daesung explained that he did not know that the tenant was in the prostitution business, the male idol’s image was still tarnished. This has led to Daesung not being able to appear on television for many years. However, the BIGBANG member seized the opportunity to return through appearing on the show of his close senior Yoo Jae Suk.

This is not the first time Yoo Jae Suk has helped BIGBANG members come back after a shocking scandal. The national MC helped G-Dragon rebuild his positive image after the 2011 marijuana smoking scandal by letting the male idol participate in the show. Infinity Challenge. The leader of BIGBANG appeared on air so much that the audience thought the male idol was a permanent member of the show.
Yoo Jae Suk himself is a leading influential figure in the television industry, so the national MC must have a great desire to help his juniors who are facing difficulties. However, many viewers believe that helping notorious figures has a negative impact on the reputation Yoo Jae Suk has built up throughout his career.
