Baek JongWon’s new variety show, “Baek JongWon’s Les Miserables,” is already embroiled in controversy even before its broadcast, facing a crisis from the start. This program follows 20 challengers dreaming of turning their lives around as they undertake harsh missions and grow through the process. However, issues concerning the program’s participants have arisen multiple times even before airing.
The team behind ENA’s variety show ‘Les Miserables’ recently confirmed the guest appearance of Triple Star. Known for his appearance in Netflix’s ‘Black and White Chef,’ his filming was completed in September before he became embroiled in personal controversies. The production staff stated they are monitoring the situation.
Moreover, ‘Les Miserables’ has sparked significant controversy due to the news of a juvenile delinquent participating in the show. Claims have surfaced that one of the challengers shown in the teaser video had previously received a juvenile court disposition number 9, leading to a debate about glamorizing criminals. ENA has refrained from commenting, urging viewers to confirm through the broadcast.
Additionally, Triple Star has recently been embroiled in a scandal due to revelations about his private life. His ex-wife, referred to as Ms. A, and another woman, Ms. B, exposed him over alleged infidelity issues, and he has been accused of embezzlement, escalating the controversy. While the Gangnam Police Station has launched an internal investigation, Triple Star has not yet issued any statement.
With the first broadcast of ‘Les Miserables’ scheduled for the 30th, there is intense interest in how these controversies will affect the show, particularly the issues surrounding the juvenile offender’s participation and Triple Star’s appearance. The future developments are drawing significant attention.
