Chef Kang Seung Won, widely recognized as Triple Star from Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars, continues to face public backlash after new developments in his controversy.
Accusations Against Kang Seung Won
Kang has been embroiled in scandals involving allegations of embezzlement, cheating, and gaslighting brought forth by his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend. The accusations have tarnished his reputation, alienating the fan base he gained through the hit series.
Participation in Upcoming Variety Show
Amid the controversy, it has come to light that Kang participated in the filming of ENA’s variety show Baek Jong Won’s Les Misérables. The program, hosted by Culinary Class Wars judge Baek Jong Won, has already faced criticism for its casting decisions. Kang’s involvement has only fueled negative reactions.
According to a representative of Les Misérables:
“It is true that he participated in the recording earlier, but as the editing process is still ongoing, we cannot confirm his appearance.”
The representative clarified that filming wrapped up before Kang’s scandals came to light. However, the production team now faces mounting pressure to determine if Kang’s scenes will be included in the final broadcast.
Mixed Reactions From Netizens
The controversy has sparked debate among Korean netizens, with opinions split:
“The filming was done before the controversy, so of course, they’ll edit it out… The production team must be having a tough time.”
“The recording was done before, so isn’t it a matter of whether they edit him out or not?”
“I really don’t like this show. Is this a program that glorifies criminals?”
“If it was filmed before the controversy, why is Baek Jong Won being criticized?”
“It looks like they’re planning to cut him out entirely.”
“Ugh, just scrap the whole thing. It’s proving to be a trashy show even before it airs.”
