Kim Sang-hyuk, formerly of the group Click-B, stepped back into the spotlight, directly addressing past scandals and his private life.
Recently, a teaser for a YouTube Shorts episode featuring Kim Sang-hyuk as a guest was posted on announcer-turned-TV personality Jang Sung-kyu’s channel. Kim, who went to the same elementary school as Jang, reacted cautiously, saying, "They say it’s a conscience campaign concept, so I’m not sure I should be on it."
He then lightened the mood with a self-deprecating joke, calling himself "someone who once sold his conscience," and brought up his past controversies. In particular, a question probed the meaning behind his infamous line that sparked massive backlash: "I drank, but I didn’t drive drunk," drawing even more attention.
The conversation also delved into his personal life, including marriage and divorce. Jang even brought up Kim’s connection with his ex-spouse, steering the talk deeper and leaving viewers curious about what stance Kim would take.
Kim married an entrepreneur six years his junior in 2019 but divorced about a year later. He also caused public uproar with a drunk driving accident in 2005 and spent a long period in self-reflection afterward.
With Kim set to confront his past head-on and make a candid confession, anticipation for the content is surging.
