Kim Jung-hoon confirmed his appearance in 'The Couple Scandal: Pandora's Secret (hereinafter referred to as Couple Scandal)'.
The Scandal of the Married is a work about the secret of tangled couples and revenge for infidelity in the background of an upper class villa. Kim Jung-hoon plays Woo-jin, a psychological counselor and observer in the play.
In September, Kim Jung-hoon expressed his excitement about returning by posting a picture of himself filming on his account, saying, `My villa, my villa (in-drama).'
Kim Jung-hoon has not been on the Korean stage for the past six years. In July 2011, he was found guilty of drunk driving and his license was revoked. However, after causing a drunk driving accident in 2023, he refused to take a breathalyzer test and received a summary order of 10 million won.
In 2019, his ex-girlfriend A was at the center of controversy when he filed a lawsuit against Kim Jung-hoon for a contract payment. In the complaint, Mr. A claimed that `Kim Jung-hoon forced an abortion to avoid tarnishing his image as a celebrity and offered to settle the rental deposit of 10 million won and monthly rent costs, saying that he would save the flesh, but he stopped contacting him with only 1 million won in down payment.'

After that, A dropped the lawsuit within a month, but Kim Jung-hoon suffered a big blow to his image. As a result, Kim Jung-hoon left the domestic stage behind and moved to Japan to begin his activities.
In the midst of this, Kim Jung-hoon filed a claim for damages worth 100 million won against A in 2020 It was revealed that he lost. Kim Jung-hoon's side spread false information that A forced abortion surgery and claimed that he threatened several times, but the court refused to accept it. He also said that A's actions cannot be considered illegal, as he even ruled that Kim Jung-hoon's biological child was correct through a lawsuit for recognition after giving birth to his son.
Kim Jung-hoon will return to the domestic stage for the first time in six years. As it is inevitable to ask questions about drunk driving and privacy controversy to return to Korea, attention is being paid to whether Kim Jung-hoon will open his mouth himself.
