TV personality Cho Se-ho, who became embroiled in controversy over alleged ties to organized crime, has stepped down from the popular tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block. Yoo Jae-seok, who worked alongside him for a long time, cautiously broke his silence.
On the December 17 broadcast of You Quiz on the Block (You Quiz), the seat next to Yoo Jae-seok was empty. Looking toward Cho Se-ho’s signature “Jagi-bag,” Yoo said with an awkward smile, “His bag is right next to me. Its owner is… well.”
He added, “We’ve worked together for so long, so the thought of hosting You Quiz alone brings up a lot of feelings,” expressing his discomfort.
After a brief pause, Yoo Jae-seok said, “As he himself mentioned, I hope this becomes a meaningful time for him to reflect.” The words were short, but the tone was heavy.
Cho Se-ho had served as co-MC with Yoo Jae-seok since the first episode of You Quiz in 2018. As allegations of ties to criminal groups spread, he stepped down from You Quiz as well as several other fixed variety programs, including 2 Days & 1 Night.
