Actor Joo Ji Hoon has opened up about his experience with alcohol broadcasts and shared his love for biking.

On the November 26th episode of SBS’s variety show "Tteum Nan Myeon," Joo Ji Hoon appeared as a guest alongside actor Yoo Yeon Seok and director Kim Hee Won, who was promoting his new Disney+ series "Lighting Store."

During the show, Yoo Jae Suk asked the guests, “You both haven’t been on variety shows much lately, right?” Joo Ji Hoon responded honestly, saying, “I did go on a YouTube alcohol broadcast before, but I’m not doing that again. I don’t remember anything after drinking. When I drink a lot, I forget everything, and it affects my personal relationships.”

Later, Joo Ji Hoon led the group to a restaurant popular with people in the film industry. He explained, “This place became famous because directors and actors love it. Director Park Chan Wook and actor Kang Dong Won often come here.”

Once seated, Joo Ji Hoon shared his passion for biking. He said, “I went to Jeju Island recently to ride my bike. Actor Park Seong Woong joined me, and we rode for about 10 minutes before stopping at a beachside restaurant. We left the bikes there and spent the rest of the day drinking from 1 p.m. until 12 hours later.” This surprising story caught everyone’s attention.

Yoo Yeon Seok, also a fan of biking, mentioned his own bike model, and Joo Ji Hoon smiled, saying, “I have the same one. You really know your bikes, you have a good sense!”

Joo Ji Hoon continued, “When I’m riding my bike, I forget all my worries. I ride calmly, even on coastal roads, at about 50 km/h. I just enjoy the view.”

After their meal, the conversation shifted to gatherings. Joo Ji Hoon revealed, “We don’t often get together as the ‘82 group. It’s just singer Bi, actor Hyun Bin, and actor Lee Joon Ki. But we don’t meet up much.”

Yoo Yeon Seok shared, “I had a gathering last year with the ‘84 group. It included rapper San E, SG Wannabe’s Kim Yong Jun, singer Seven, webtoon artist Ki An 84, and actors Lee Joon Hyuk and Hyun Bong Sik.”

Yoo Jae Suk joked, “Isn’t Hyun Bong Sik also from ‘84?” making everyone laugh.

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
