Interest is growing in Paik Jong-won's potential return to broadcasting after a YouTube video in which the head of The BORN Korea announced his suspension of broadcast activities and issued an apology was removed.
As of the 24th, the video titled 'Starting Again from the Beginning,' which was uploaded in May on Paik Jong-won's official YouTube channel, has been taken down.
At the time, following various controversies such as mislabeling of product origins and inadequate hygiene management, Paik Jong-won stated in the video, 'From now on, except for the programs currently being filmed, I will suspend all broadcasting activities.'
He continued, 'Now, as a businessman rather than a broadcaster, I will devote all my passion and effort to the growth of The BORN Korea. I will work to restore the company's credibility and strive to expand onto the global stage.'
However, Paik Jong-won returned to television after six months, appearing in the first episode of the Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) reality show 'Chef of Antarctica,' which aired on the 16th. In addition, the Netflix variety show 'Culinary Class Wars 2' is set to premiere in December.
Some observers interpret the deletion of the video announcing his suspension of broadcast activities as a signal of his official comeback.
