On the 28th, a media outlet reported that Lee Young-sook, CEO of Nagyung Mushroom Farm, borrowed 100 million won from Cho in April 2010, but has not paid it back for 14 years.
According to reports, Lee borrowed 100 million won from Cho, the head of shiitake mushroom-related association, to open a local restaurant and wrote an IOU with an expiration date of April 2011. However, Cho did not receive the money until the promised deadline, and Cho died in July 2011, three months after the expiration date.

CEO Lee, who did not pay back the rest of the amount, later participated in the entertainment program 'Korean Food Battle' in 2014 and won the prize money of 100 million won. Nevertheless, he still did not pay back, and Cho's bereaved family filed a bond seizure and collection order with the court in 2018, which the court accepted but continued to receive no remaining money.
Mr. A claimed in an interview with the media that `The amount that Representative Lee has to pay back to my family has now exceeded 300 million won, including interest.' In this regard, representative Lee said "There are differences in positions with each other. I borrowed some money, but I paid it back" reported his position.
