The production team of tvN’s variety show ‘You Quiz On The Block’ has edited out broadcaster Jo Se Ho even from archival footage.
On the January 28 broadcast of ‘You Quiz On The Block’ episode 329, guests Jo Young Kwon, known for his love of jjajangmyeon, and Park Gi Seok, a self described jjamppong enthusiast, appeared on the show.
Before meeting the guests, host Yoo Jae Suk commented, “I really love both jjamppong and jjajangmyeon,” expressing his excitement. This was followed by a throwback clip from a past episode of ‘You Quiz On The Block’ showing Yoo Jae Suk enjoying the dishes.
However, in the footage, Jo Se Ho, who recently stepped down from broadcasts amid controversy, was noticeably edited out. While his voice could still be heard, his face did not appear on screen, with only a brief glimpse of his shoulder catching viewers’ attention.
Previously, Jo Se Ho became embroiled in allegations linking him to an organized crime figure. Through his agency, he denied claims that he was directly or indirectly involved in illegal money laundering activities, stating the allegations were untrue. Despite this, following additional claims teased by the whistleblower and worsening public opinion, Jo Se Ho voluntarily withdrew from his regular appearances on shows including ‘You Quiz On The Block’ and KBS2’s ‘2 Days 1 Night’.
His agency has reiterated its stance, saying, “Jo Se Ho has absolutely no connection to the business activities of the organized crime figure mentioned. Claims that he received money or benefits in exchange for promoting the business are also completely false.” The agency added that it plans to pursue swift and firm legal action to clear up misunderstandings and restore his damaged image, promising that Jo Se Ho will return in good health once all suspicions have been fully resolved.
