Comedian Kim Won-hoon has come under fire for making inappropriate comments during interviews on his YouTube channel 'Nego King.'
On April 3, the production team of 'Nego King' Season 7 issued an apology, stating, "We sincerely apologize to the viewers and subscribers who felt uncomfortable due to some inappropriate expressions during the first episode's street interviews. We value your feedback and are currently editing the scene. We will be more cautious in future productions."
In the first episode of 'Nego King' Season 7, released on March 27, Kim Won-hoon conducted street interviews with citizens. During an interview with a couple, he asked, "Where are you headed?" When the male participant replied, "We're going to Seolleung Station," Kim jokingly remarked, "Isn't this the love hotel district? You all went home last night, right?"
The man, visibly flustered, explained, "We just came out," but Kim Won-hoon persisted, asking, "Where did you just come from?" He also pointed to the man's face, saying, "There's a lipstick mark here..."
Viewers criticized Kim Won-hoon for making excessive and inappropriate sexual remarks towards the couple, noting that his comments were disrespectful and made the interviewees uncomfortable.
