Chef Lim Seong-geun, who has faced controversy after details of multiple drunk-driving offenses became public, shared an update on his life. 

Lim wrote on social media on Thursday, "I’ve been wondering how you’ve been," adding, "I’m currently spending my time preparing to open a restaurant, which is my main line of work."

He said that once preparations are finished, he will be ready to welcome visitors "without 부담" and serve "a warm meal" and food he has made with care.

He ended the post by wishing people a happy Lunar New Year holiday and good health.

Lim has halted all broadcast activities after reports revealed four drunk-driving incidents, as well as convictions for driving without a license and assault causing injury.
