Comedian Lee Jin-ho, who revealed that he owed money to his acquaintances for illegal gambling,
The YTN report confirmed that he was accused of fraud for failing to pay back the actual money.The complaint
was filed with Goyang Police Station in Gyeonggi Province in early June, and the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul, which has jurisdiction over Lee's address, took over the case.
At that time, it was confirmed that Lee was accused of borrowing tens of millions of won from an acquaintance and not paying it back even though he was not capable of paying it back.
However, it was found that the victim dropped the complaint early last month when an agreement was reached between the parties, and the police did not send the case.
However, it has not been confirmed whether Lee borrowed money because of illegal gambling.
While Lee said he received financial help from many people, it has not yet been revealed how much money he borrowed and did not pay back.
In his apology, Lee said he would sincerely be investigated by the police and pay for his mistakes,
We are interested in whether complaints regarding the
money transaction will continue.
As Lee has also admitted illegal gambling, attention is also being paid to the exact size and timing of the gambling, with police expected to launch an investigation soon.
