It was belatedly known that the director of the popular SBS drama "My Perfect Secretary" was suspended from the company for causing a stir in the past for assault and insults.

The production team of SBS drama "My Perfect Secretary" said today (13th) that "I am sorry for causing concern to you with bad news related to producer Ham Joon-ho," adding, "It is true that producer Ham Joon-ho was accused of assaulting and insulting drunk in early 2020."

However, he continued, "I sincerely apologized to all the victims, and later received legal disposition after forgiveness and agreement. In addition, the criminal record mentioned in the report five years ago is a misdemeanor and has nothing to do with the case," he added.

In this case, the producer Ham was suspended according to the procedure at the company. The production team said, "Producer Ham Joon-ho returned to directing after three years of self-reflection and self-reflection. We ask for your generous understanding."

Recently, an online community posted that the producer of "My Perfect Secretary" was caught up in an assault case in the past. The author attached a photograph of the article captured on March 5, 2020, according to which SBS drama station A went on a rampage with passers-by on the street in Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

The police booked A and applied for an arrest warrant in consideration of the fact that he had a criminal record, but the prosecution reportedly rejected it. It turned out that A, who appeared in this case, was producer Ham. Producer Ham returned three years after the incident through the SBS drama "Legend." Producer

co-directs 'My Perfect Secretary', which is currently popularly aired, with producer Kim Jae-hong. Although he returned after a period of self-reflection, criticism of his position and image damage surrounding the work became inevitable as the incident was belatedly re-examined online.
