Actor Kim Yong-geon will be back on TV screens from Nov. 6. The news came after his reconciliation with a woman who was suing the actor for allegedly pressuring her to get an abortion.

The 36-year-old girlfriend of Kim since dropped the charges and is expected to give birth this month.

Seventy-five-year-old Kim will be a guest panelist on MBN’s golf entertainment show called “Grandpa.” The first episode airs on Nov. 6 at 9:30 p.m.

The teaser video for the show shows a scene of Kim apologizing for worrying people.

“I had to be very cautious whether [appearing on a TV show] was the right decision, and I debated it so much,” he said in the clip. “It’s all my fault and all the happenings were caused because I lack in many things.”
