Chun Jung-myung revealed that the extreme stress from the scam made him "consider retirement," which saddened everyone. He shared, "The scene where victims of the scam came to me is still vivid in my memory," as he became teary-eyed. Chun Jung-myung was deeply shocked by the unbelievable actions of his manager. What exactly happened to Chun Jung-myung will be revealed in the broadcast.
