Broadcaster Yoo Se-yoon confessed via social media that he had stolen and eaten a cookie at the 'Dream Festival' organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and expressed his apologies. While he maintained a humorous attitude by explaining that he had only eaten one cookie, his past incident of confessing to Drunk driving is being brought up again.
Yoo Se-yoon garnered significant attention in 2013 when he voluntarily turned himself in to the police for Drunk driving. At the time, he stepped down from all programs and went through a period of self-reflection before returning to broadcasting in August of the same year through 'SNL Korea'. Since then, he has even joked on variety shows that he seems to have received a reduction in his fine through his self-confession.

Yoo Se-yoon has a documented history of self-reporting his own transgressions, most notably when he turned himself in to police for drunk driving in 2013. This incident led to a temporary hiatus from his television appearances before he resumed his career later that same year.
