MC Ding-dong returns as pre-MC for 'The Trot Show' 6 months after assault controversy

Broadcaster MC Dingdong is reported to have returned to a TV recording set about six months after the assault controversy. He is said to be taking on the role of preshow MC on SBS Life's 'The Trot Show,' where he helps encourage audience participation, and is known not to appear in the main broadcast. On the 22nd, MC Dingdong posted on his SNS a photo of himself checking a script in the waiting room along with a message hinting at his return. In response, viewers had mixed reactions over whether the timing of his comeback was appropriate. Previously, he was embroiled in an assault controversy related to a female BJ during a live internet broadcast in March, and later stated that he would apologize and take legal action regarding the incident. Then in May, he acknowledged his careless behavior and posted another apology.
