Here’s why there are no drinking scenes of actor Yoon Je Moon in “Reborn Rich” 

Yoon Je Moon is not seen drinking in “Reborn Rich” for a reason. 

In the year-end most talked-about drama “Reborn Rich”, the story of revenge and inheritance is unfolding with thrilling developments. 

Sunyang Group Chairman Jin Yang Chul (Lee Sung Min) always keeps his mind together by drinking tea or doing calligraphy. The second son of Sunyang, Sunyang Fire & Marine Insurance CEO Cho Han Chul, who has entered a full-fledged succession war with his brothers, often appears in scenes where he relieves stress with whiskey.

However, not even a glass of alcohol can be seen around Yoon Je Moon, who plays Jin Young Ki, the eldest son of the Sunyang Group, even though he is under the most stress. 

It was how the production team showed their consideration for Yoon Je Moon, who was criticized for a drunk driving incident in the past. On December 5th, an official from SLL, the production company of “Reborn Rich”, said, “I don’t know whether it was a request from Yoon Je Moon’s agency or whether the writer excluded the drinking scene on his own, but there will be no scene of the actor drinking alcohol.”

In this regard, a PD said, “The actor was cast after many twists and turns. It is reasonable for the drinking scenes to be removed so that they won’t damage the drama”. Although some people agree, saying “Let’s keep watching how the actor improves himself”, there are still negative comments, such as “It’s like someone from the production team is stepping up for Yoon Je Moon. What a beautiful partnership”.

Yoon Je Moon was caught drunk driving three times in 2010, 2013 and 2016 and had to pay fines. In 2016, he was also sentenced to 8 months in prison with a suspended sentence of 2 years, as well as ordered 40 hours of driving lectures. A day before the release of the movie “Daddy You, Daughter Me” in 2017, he caused an interview to be suspended as he caused a disturbance due to overdrinking.
