Comedian Lee Jin-ho, a cast member of the Netflix entertainment show Comedy Revenge, confessed to illegal gambling on the Internet in the past.
Lee Jin-ho said on social media today that he started illegal gambling on the Internet in 2020, which left him with a debt he could not afford.
He then explained that he was belatedly withdrawn, but he had received financial help from many people at the time, and that he is now steadily paying back the money every month.
He also said, "I bow down and apologize for causing social controversy and hiding it," adding, "I will sincerely be investigated by the police and pay off my debt."
Lee Jin-ho reportedly borrowed 100 million won from BTS Jimin in 2022 and did not pay it back, and also borrowed money from comedian Lee Soo-geun and singer Ha Sung-woon.
Earlier today, a presentation for the production of Netflix's new entertainment show, Comedy Revenge, was held, but Lee Jin-ho, who confessed to illegal gambling, did not attend.
