[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] On the 24th, the episode of KBS 2TV's 'New Product Launch Pyeonstorang' featuring chef Lee Won-il was aired as scheduled despite the controversy surrounding bride-to-be PD Kim Yoo-jin's 'school violence' allegations.

In the broadcast, chef Lee Won-il competed in a cooking battle with chef Lee Won-bok at Lee Jung-hyun's house. The judging was done by Lee Jung-hyun and her husband, and the winner was chef Lee Yeon-bok.

The episode aired not only footage of chef Lee Won-il cooking but also various reactions without any editing.

Earlier, on the 21st, a post appeared on an online community claiming that the bride-to-be PD, who resembles a celebrity appearing on MBC's 'If You Envy, You Lose,' was a perpetrator of group assault.

In the post, the writer stated, "I tried hard to forget and live on, and I thought I had finally escaped the trauma," but added, "I cannot endure seeing her on TV any more frequently, so I am posting this."

Subsequently, Lee Won-il and PD Kim Yoo-jin issued handwritten apology letters expressing their remorse. However, as the controversy grew, they both withdrew from MBC's 'If You Envy, You Lose.'

Additionally, Lee Won-il announced that he would not participate in the scheduled Pyeonstorang recording next week and would suspend his broadcasting activities.
