Kim Ho-joong went and Kim Jae-joong came.

Singer Kim Ho-jung's 'Pyeon Restaurant' was edited in its entirety.

Kim Ho-joong, who was expected to appear in KBS 2TV's 'New Release Edition' (hereinafter referred to as 'Pyeon Restaurant'), which aired on the 17th, was completely edited out.

In fact, even when the full shot of the Pyeon Restaurant group members was captured, Kim Ho-jung was not seen. Even Kim Ho-jung's voice or laughter did not appear once.

In addition, the winning prize for this round will not be officially released. In the meantime, 'Newly Launched Pyeon Restaurant' has been releasing the winning menu from the weekly contest as an official product through GS Retail.

Kim Jaejoong's appearance was announced at the end of the broadcast. Jang Min-ho expected the appearance of Kim Jae-joong, who appeared on a terrestrial TV show for the first time in 15 years, saying, “The fans must have really wanted to see this kind of daily life.” However, Ryu Soo-young was surprised to see Kim Jae-joong’s delicious twist, thinking, “Isn’t that what old men do?”

Meanwhile, Kim Ho-jung is accused of running away after hitting a taxi stopped in the opposite lane while driving on a road in Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul at around 11:40 pm on the 9th (no action taken after the accident). Immediately after the accident, the manager of Kim Ho-joong's agency confessed that he was driving Kim Ho-joong's car, but after a police investigation, it was confirmed that the driver was Kim Ho-joong.

Nevertheless, Kim Ho-joong is going ahead with the ‘Tvarotti Classic Arena Tour’ performance held in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do today. The 'Tvarotti Classic Arena Tour', which will be held on the 18th and 19th at the Changwon Sports Park Indoor Gymnasium, is Kim Ho-joong's first official appearance since he was booked by the police on the 14th. Kim Ho-jung’s side said, “The performance in Changwon will proceed as scheduled.” In the meantime, the agency has stated that it will proceed with the scheduled performance without disruption even after various controversies such as 'changing drivers' and 'suspicion of drunk driving' arose after Kim Ho-joong's hit-and-run incident.
