[All] Lim Seong-geun's Irezumi tattoo controversy? Exposure, drunk driving, and bullying.

We've compiled a comprehensive report on Chef Lim Seong-geun's irezumi tattoo controversy, his three drunk driving convictions, and even comments exposing his alleged abuse of power. We'll distinguish between confirmed facts and rumors to provide a calm and objective look at the current situation.

1. Confession to drunk driving three times, the clearest fact

Chef Lim Seong-geun revealed on his YouTube channel that he had been caught drunk driving a total of three times over the past 10 years.

 

 

Even the fact of reacquiring the license after cancellation is disclosed. “I thought it was right to speak first rather than hide it.” Although it was explained, criticism was strong because the most recent detection was relatively recent.

 

This part is not speculation or rumor, but a clear fact that he himself admitted.

 

So the public reaction too "Too repetitive to be a mistake" It is leaning towards that.

2. The Irezumi Tattoo Controversy: How Much of It Is True?

After his confession to drunk driving, photos showing Chef Lim Seong-geun's tattoos spread through online communities.

The controversy grew as claims emerged that the patterns seen on the arms, collarbone, and neck resembled irezumi, a large Japanese tattoo.

 

Chef Im Seong-geun commented on this:
“I saw a lot of people getting tattoos these days, so I tried it. It’s not a problem,” he replied directly.

 

To sum up
- He did not deny that he had a tattoo.
- There are no confirmed facts regarding involvement with organized crime.
- There is currently no evidence linking this to crime or illegal activity.

 

In other words, the tattoo controversy is closer to a debate arising from image disparity rather than whether it is illegal.

3. Comments exposing abuse in the food industry are still at the suspicion stage.

The day after the drunk driving confession, an anonymous commenter claiming to be from the food industry appeared on an online community. .

 

The comment contained provocative language about alcohol, personal issues, and bullying of business partners.

 

But the important point is
- No concrete evidence other than anonymous comments
- The whistleblower's identity and facts have not been confirmed.
- Lim Seong-geun's side immediately officially denied the claims, saying, "It is completely groundless."

 

As of now, it is correct to view the revelation of bullying as a rumor rather than a confirmed fact.

4. Broadcasters' reaction: regardless of the truth, a quick social distancing

Regardless of the truth of the controversy, the broadcasting industry is moving quickly.
Some entertainment program appearances have been canceled, and additional appearances are being discussed. It was reported that it was stopped at the stage.

This is

 

- The clear risk of three drunk driving convictions
- Uncertainty about the possibility of additional disclosures
Therefore, it appears that broadcasters are proactively managing risks.

5. Why Public Opinion Is Cold: It's a Matter of Trust, Not Image

The part that the public reacts to the most is not the tattoo or the rumor itself.
It's a question of trust: "Can we continue to consume this person?"

 

On top of the established fact of repeated drunk driving,
As suspicions continue to arise,
It doesn't seem easy to restore an image once it's been destroyed.
