Show host Yun Nan-hee has returned to home shopping a year and a half after she was banned from appearing on TV indefinitely due to the controversy over "disrespect of the deceased."

According to the industry today (23rd), Yun Nan-hee has appeared as a guest on Lotte Home Shopping since the beginning of this month to sell fashion products.

The broadcast takes place every Tuesday at around 8 a.m., and has hosted a total of three broadcasts so far.

According to Lotte Home Shopping, Yun Nan-hee will appear as a guest once a week in response to continuous requests from small and medium-sized fashion product partners. It sells fashion products excluding controversial beauty products.

It is reported that the guest appearance was approved on the condition that the first broadcast should be conducted in the form of a donation broadcast. The guest is a show host belonging to a partner company and has nothing to do with Lotte Home Shopping.

In February last year, Yun Nan-hee caused a controversy over "disgrace to the deceased" by referring to a comedian who died of skin disease while advertising for basic cosmetics at CJ OnStyle.

At the time, he introduced a product whose therapeutic effect was not verified, and said, "I remembered a female comedian," adding, "He had quite a lot of worries because of his bad skin." "I wish I had known this," he said.

Since then, a complaint has been filed with the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCC). The Korea Communications Standards Commission ruled that CJ OnStyle Broadcasting violated the "Regulations on Product Introduction and Sales Broadcast Deliberation" and imposed a legal sanction of "caution."

In the wake of criticism, CJ OnStyle suspended Yun Nan-hee's appearance indefinitely.

In response, Yun Nan-hee said, "I realized the mistake and apologized for the remarks," adding, "But I sincerely apologize for reminding someone and breaking many people's hearts."

"He was a junior I loved so much, and he was the one who was more heartbroken than anyone else when she left," he said. "I feel a heavy day because I think one word that came out with regret during the broadcast hurt you."
