On November 1, the show released a new teaser for its upcoming season, unveiling some old and some new characters. The last season’s winner, Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae), is seen trying to navigate the rest of the participants through the chaotic and lethal games, but some of them rebel against him.

Some of the new faces spotted in the trailer include T.O.P, Jo Yuri, Lim Si Wan, and veteran actor Song Young Chang. Song’s appearance, however, has sparked some controversy regarding his past sex crime conviction.

In September 2000, Song was convicted of underage prostitution. It was reported that he paid 150 USD to have sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old girl twice in a car. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to 10 months of suspended prison term, along with two years of probation.
The actor barely served a month in prison before he was out on probation. After his release, he moved to Canada with his family under the pretext of “studying English.” His acting career continued in Canada, where he appeared in a few musicals.
Song’s reputation remains tainted as the first person in the Korean entertainment industry to be convicted of underage prostitution. He was banned from major broadcast channels such as KBS, MBC, and EBS. But after his return to Korea, Song has appeared in multiple K-Dramas and movies in supporting roles, becoming a well-known face among avid viewers.

That's such bullshit. If he was a child trafficker then fuck him but if the girl truly wanted to it with him then do you man. Most of all he should be able to do whatever he wants as far as having a thriving career in the film industry. We all have pay taxes some how and if the law says he's good then the world should as well.
