Variety show Crazy Driver to end with Season 6

The variety program Crazy Driver will conclude its run on November 21 following the 16th episode of Season 6. This marks the end of the final fixed program for Jo Se-ho, who previously stepped down from You Quiz on the Block and 2 Days and 1 Night last year.

The variety program 'Crazy Driver' is set to conclude its run following the end of Season 6, marking the end of the final fixed variety show for entertainer Jo Se-ho. After stepping down from tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and KBS2's '2 Days and 1 Night' last year following allegations of ties to organized crime, 'Crazy Driver' was the last remaining program he continued to appear on. As the cast and production team, who have worked together for a long time, express their regret, attention is focused on how the program's conclusion will impact Jo Se-ho's future broadcasting activities.

The production team of 'Crazy Driver' announced the news of the show's conclusion through official social media channels on the 25th. They stated that the program's long journey will conclude with the 16th episode of the currently airing Season 6. The final broadcast is scheduled for November 21. The cast and crew have already completed the final filming, explaining that there was significant sadness in having to wrap up the relationships built over a long period.

The production team emphasized that the program held special meaning for both the cast and the staff. Given that the program has been together for five years when considering past connections, a unique narrative and relationship have been built. The team expressed gratitude, noting that despite many shortcomings and the difficult environment for long-running variety shows to survive, they were able to reach this point thanks to the unwavering love of the fans. They added a promise to do their best to produce the final episode.

'Crazy Driver' is a variety program with a unique concept depicting the joys and sorrows of life as assembled by the top 99% of talents without screws. The fixed cast includes Kim Sook, Hong Jin-kyung, Jo Se-ho, Joo Woo-jae, and 2PM's Jang Woo-young. It has maintained interest from existing fans as it is evaluated as the spiritual successor to KBS2's 'Beat Coin,' which aired from July 2022 to January 2024.

The program progressed from 'Season 1: Finding the Lost Screw' to 'Season 2: Finding the Lost Steering Wheel,' 'Season 3: Crazy Disassembly Show,' 'Season 4: The Rivals,' and 'Season 5: The Game of Death,' leading to the current 'Season 6: Law of Survival.' This season even garnered steady interest, entering the Netflix 'Korea's TOP 10 Today' list. Nevertheless, the production team decided to wrap up the program after the sixth season.

This conclusion is particularly noteworthy as it coincides with Jo Se-ho's current broadcasting status. After being embroiled in allegations of ties to organized crime last year, Jo Se-ho stepped down from 'You Quiz on the Block' and '2 Days and 1 Night.' While he continued his appearances on 'Crazy Driver,' the end of this program further narrows his position among currently fixed variety shows. However, there is no basis to view the program's end as being due to Jo Se-ho's personal issues, and the production team emphasized that it is the conclusion of a journey shared by the cast and crew.

Recently, social media videos capturing Jo Se-ho's private life also drew attention. On the 12th, an Instagram account posted videos showing Jo Se-ho's daily life, such as organizing shoes at home. The account description included the phrase "Account explosion if Jo Se-ho is discovered" and explained that it was operated without his consent, sparking curiosity about the operator. Interest continued as it was later revealed that the operator of the account is his wife, Jung Su-ji.

Jo Se-ho married Jung Su-ji, who is nine years younger, on October 9, 2024. Jung, a former supermodel, had her face revealed after being captured by broadcast cameras during the '2025 Coupang Play Series' match between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. Recently, she has drawn public attention by sharing her husband's modest daily life.

Leaving behind the program and colleagues he has been with for nearly five years, Jo Se-ho is now in a position where he must seek a new direction for his activities. While the end of 'Crazy Driver' is the conclusion of a variety program, it coincides with a time when Jo Se-ho, having stepped down from major fixed programs in succession, must consider his next steps as an entertainer. Attention is also focused on what farewell messages the cast will deliver in the final episode and what stage Jo Se-ho will return to in the future.
