MC Dingdong Assaults Female BJ in Live Broadcast
South Korean TV host Ding Dong is facing criticism after allegedly attacking a female streamer during a live online broadcast. The incident happened during a livestream format called an “Excel broadcast,” where participants compete based on donation amounts shown in a ranking table.
During the broadcast, the female streamer performed a rap song that mocked Ding Dong’s past drunk-driving and hit-and-run case. After hearing the comments, Ding Dong reportedly became angry. According to reports, he ran toward the streamer, grabbed her by the hair, and attacked her while the livestream was still running.
After the incident, Ding Dong left the scene but returned shortly afterward to apologize on camera. He said he lost control because the comments reminded him of his past mistakes and caused emotional distress. He also said he was trying to rebuild his career after a long period without work.
The victim later shared online that she is receiving psychological treatment for panic and trauma. She also said she suffered physical injuries that require about two weeks of recovery. She has hired a lawyer and filed an official complaint against Ding Dong.
Ding Dong previously faced legal trouble in 2022 for drunk driving in Seoul. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated, refusing a breath test, and attempting to escape from police. A court later sentenced him to one year and six months in prison with a two-year probation period.
Before the controversy, Ding Dong was a well-known entertainer who often hosted events and television programs. He was sometimes called the “supporting MC version of” Yoo Jae-suk because of his popularity as a host. After the earlier scandal, he stepped down from programs on the broadcaster Seoul Broadcasting System.
