Jo Se-ho is currently embroiled in allegations of involvement with an organized crime group suspected of illegal money laundering. A netizen identified as A claimed on social media that Jo Se-ho has connections with gangsters, revealing photos of him receiving expensive gifts and being seen with a specific man.

Jo Se-ho's agency, A2Z Entertainment, denied these claims, stating, "The two are merely acquaintances, and the allegations of receiving expensive gifts or money are groundless." The agency also announced that it is considering legal action against the spread of false information. Although Jo Se-ho's screen time was not significantly reduced, official accounts of the programs he appears on have been receiving requests for his withdrawal.

During the broadcast, DinDin targeted Jo Se-ho and Moon Se-yoon, saying, "If you came the day before, happily took photos, and had fun, this isn't work."

Steamed chicken, salted mackerel, and Heotjesatbap are really delicious."

The allegations against Jo Se-ho arose alongside photos showing him with his arm around or hugging a specific man. Netizen A claimed that this man is a key figure in an organized crime group running an illegal gambling site. The agency dismissed A's claims as personal speculation and asserted Jo Se-ho's innocence. On the broadcast, when Moon Se-yoon said, "It seems like you were practicing yesterday," Jo Se-ho humorously replied, "I crammed this morning."
