At a regular press conference on the 28th, Woo Jong-soo, head of the National Investigation Headquarters, received a petition saying that he had committed loan fraud to gambling and acquaintances related to the Lee Jin-ho case. The Gangnam Police Station investigated the suspect. We will investigate sequentially according to the procedures.'
On the 14th, Lee Jin-ho confessed, "'I started playing on an illegal gambling site on the Internet by chance in 2020 and took on an unaffordable debt.'" Lee Jin-ho is known to have borrowed more than 2.3 billion won, including 1 billion won from colleagues and 1.3 billion won from lenders. In particular, in the entertainment industry, BTS Jimin, singer Ha Sung-woon Young-tak, and comedian Lee Soo-geun were damaged by Lee Jin-ho. Fortunately, Youngtak said he received the full amount back in September, two months after providing financial help in July last year, but others have not yet received the money back.
In Jimin's case, he lent money in good faith, and Lee Soo-geun, who has been struggling with his wife's illness, was deceived by Lee Jin-ho's words that his mother's health had deteriorated, adding to his regret.
In response, a netizen filed a complaint with the National Newspaper to investigate Lee Jin-ho's alleged illegal gambling and fraud. The police assigned the case to the Gangnam Police Station and conducted a three-hour investigation on the 22nd.
Lee Jin-ho said "If I have to attend later and be investigated, I will receive it sincerely then as well. I'm sorry to have caused a stir" he said.
Lee Jin-ho made his debut in SBS 'People Looking for Laughter' in 2005 and has been active on tvN 'Comedy Big League' JTBC 'Knowing Brother'.
