Comedian Jo Seho offered a public apology to Park Misun after facing criticism for his attendance at the W Korea breast cancer campaign party. Jo met with Park, who recently overcame breast cancer, to express his sincere regret. Park appeared on tvN’s You Quiz on the Block on the afternoon of the 12th, where Jo, serving as MC, began the recording by taking the initiative to apologize to her.
Jo Seho expressed how difficult it felt to face Park Misun again, saying that it had been a while since they last met and that he felt genuinely sorry. He admitted that he had been anxious about seeing her after attending the controversial event and used the moment to offer a sincere apology. Jo explained that he wanted this experience to make him more aware and considerate, emphasizing that his apology was not just verbal but a promise to act with greater thoughtfulness going forward.
Park Misun graciously accepted Jo Seho’s sincerity and responded with warmth, noting that he must have been stressed and even looked a bit thinner. Her compassionate tone helped ease the tension between them. Jo Seho showed visible relief, saying that he finally felt able to laugh freely again. With that exchange, the two reached a clear understanding and resolved the lingering discomfort.
Jo Seho’s apology was prompted by an event held last month at the Four Seasons Hotel in Gwanghwamun, Seoul. Organized by fashion magazine W Korea, the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign: Love Your W 2025 aimed to promote early detection and raise funds for breast cancer support.
The event, however, drew criticism as photos of celebrities posing glamorously and partying spread online, leading many to argue that the gathering prioritized star power over its stated mission.
The controversy escalated when news emerged that Park Misun would return to broadcasting through You Quiz on the Block after her battle with breast cancer.
Jo Seho also faced criticism for attending the party, with many netizens expressing discomfort at the situation. Some commented that it felt unsettling to imagine Jo at a celebratory event while Park, who had fought breast cancer, was preparing for her comeback.
Concerns grew further when it was announced that Jo and Park would address their recent experiences together on the show. During the broadcast, Jo offered a public apology and confronted the uncomfortable situation directly. Park responded with grace, accepting his apology, and their honest, warm exchange resonated positively with viewers. Many will now be watching to see whether Jo Seho takes more mindful steps in the future.
