The honor-laden car Tae-hyun is not smooth sailing, and there are times when the car overturns. In 2019, he was involved in the "overseas gambling ball" incident, but fortunately, Che Taixian appeared for the first time, made a reflection on society and the public, and got off from "Two Days and One Night". But at that time, it was the most intense time of the "Victory Gate", and the explosion of Che Tae-hyun at this time was considered to be used to confuse the public, but Che Tae-hyun was also unwilling to be involved in scandal, so he quit "Two Days and One Night" very painfully. It's really wise.
This retreat is nine months of time, in 2020 Cha Tae-hyun filmed the "extrajudicial search" comeback, South Korean society and the public maintained a tolerant attitude towards him, thanks to Cha Tae-hyun has always maintained a good image has a decisive role, South Korea's star gambling is known as "zero tolerance", look at poor Shin Jeong-hwan, because the gambling comeback has been scolded back, Cha Tae-hyun is a big luck.

The first episode hit an average of 5.2% and a high of 7.8% in the ratings, and ranked first in the South Korean Monday and Tuesday drama ratings list. But unfortunately, the stamina is insufficient, and the ratings cannot be maintained.
It is said that "Accidentally Becoming president" is preparing for the second season, and I hope to see two more presidents.
On the surface, it seems that Che Tae-hyun has walked all the way down except for the "golf" incident, which can be said to be smooth sailing and unlimited scenery. But where are the Korean artists really going well? After the popularity of "Savage Girlfriend", Cha Tae-hyun worried that he would not be able to surpass the characters he created later, so that he suffered from phobias, and even thought of suicide at one point. Since the broadcast of "The Crown Prince's First Love", this drama has also received a high rating of about 30%, but after the full house of romance starring in the same period of KPS was broadcast, the ratings were hit to a halt. So Cha Tae-hyun's just-improving panic disorder recurs. Cha Taixian also revealed that he could not take a long-distance flight because of phobia. Fainting from phobia 30 minutes before going to the U.S. public show, call the 911 emergency number.
In the days that followed, it was always his wife who was silently by his side and encouraged him. It was his first love in high school, and after thirteen years of love running, the two finally entered the palace of marriage in June 2006, and now they are always two daughters.
Since his debut, "zero scandal", the first time to admit mistakes, with a consistent good image to re-emerge and get the forgiveness and recognition of the public, this is the Korean film and television circle "king of comedy" Cha Tae-hyun.
