He returned after four years, but the public reaction is cold: a single lie to cover his mistakes, but the result was devastating.
Until the 2000s, Shin Jung-hwan's popularity was poking into the sky, as he was the best player as an entertainer to have come out on TV. But 2010 Shin Jung-hwan began to fall, serving eight months in prison for Illegal gambling in Philippines.
The fact that they had already entered the Illegal gaming hall in 2005 angered the public, but there was a real reason why they were angry. Because of the stupid lie he told. He lied that he could not return home because he had been admitted to the disease due to dengue fever, and after the coverage revealed that it was not true, he admitted and apologized for all the sins.
But the public had already turned their backs on his brazen scam, and this time it was not as easy as it had been before; so Shin Jung-hwan entered a seven-year hiatus.
Shin Jung-hwan once attempted to return to the air in 2017 when he appeared with Tak Jae-hoon on Mnet's "Project S: Demon's Talent Donation". Shin Jung-hwan, who met with fans, said: "There is no excuse. I still regret that I have been disappointed by those who have saved me a lot. "But the fans who had already been reminded of him several times could not easily forgive him.
The following year, Shin Jung-hwan appeared with Lula members on JTBC 'Knowing Brother', but criticism of the netizens poured out and he had to temporarily close his dream of returning to broadcasting.
Shin Jung-hwan has made his third attempt to return to the show, co-produced by Galaxy Corporation and Persona Space and featured through the "Bucca Jeonseong Era" broadcast on TV Chosun. This time it was a return to the "bucca" Scene Stealer, not as "bonca" Shin Jung-hwan. In the first episode of 'Bucca Jeonseong era', he showed his efforts to endure anger with a reflection as if he acknowledged his mistake even though he was hit by tofu.
Eleven years after the controversy broke out, the gaze still looking at Shin Jung-hwan is cold. Four days have passed since the first episode, but the voice of criticism does not come out, let alOne the voice of welcoming his return. The Naver clip video, which shows him appearing, has only 18,000 views and has only two comments. The ratings are even worse. TV Chosun is broadcasting at 10:30 pm on Sunday night, but it is showing 0.7% of the results.
Shin Jung-hwan, who said, "I will not return my joyful mind if I continue to work hard, but it seems to take longer than he expected to restore public faith. It's The Cost for repaying fans who have responded to themselves with lies.
