Comedian Jo Se-ho has once again apologized for his involvement in last year's 'gangster connection' controversy.


On November 5, Jo launched his new YouTube channel with a video titled 'How Can I Go Without Knowing?' featuring 'Jo Se-ho's Confession at 45.'


In the video, Jo stated, "2026 has been a significant year. I have reflected on my journey more than ever before. It has been a time for introspection and renewed determination, and above all, I spent a lot of time with my family."


Regarding the gangster allegations from last year, he expressed, "I sincerely apologize once again to those who were hurt or felt uncomfortable by my past actions. Moving forward, I will be more responsible in my relationships and considerate of others, and I will act with greater caution as Jo Se-ho."


Jo also mentioned that he will turn 46 next year, adding, "I still have many shortcomings. Through this experience, I will strive to be someone who brings smiles to your faces and joy to your lives."


Last December, Jo was embroiled in allegations of associating with a gangster. Following this, he stepped down from KBS 2TV's '1 Night 2 Days Season 2' and tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block,' while remaining on Netflix's variety show 'Doraiver.'
