▶ Hereinafter, Lee Jin-ho, full text on SNS

Hello, I'm Lee Jinho.

Sorry, I'm writing to confess my shameful past stemming from my misjudgment.

I started playing on an Internet illegal gambling site by chance in 2020, and I'm in a debt I can't afford. I was able to belatedly wake up to the stinging advice of my acquaintances and the fear that I might never be able to do this thing I love again, but I had already had financial help from a lot of people.

I am constantly paying back the money every month, and I will continue to repay all of this debt on my own until I die. Financial damage is also a loss, but above all, I was so sorry to those who trusted me and lent me money. When I got a call to an unknown number, my heart was racing, and I felt like every day was being beaten by the fear of when this would be known to the world.

Rather, I thought I could at least get out of this anxiety after confessing everything and being punished, but I had to work to repay my debt a little, so wouldn't that be my own greed.. I couldn't make a choice right away.

I'm so embarrassed, and I'm sorry. As a celebrity on the show, I truly regret the past when I forgot my duty and ruined it with a moment of misjudgment. Even if I don't become a good person who serves as an example for others, I will at least try hard not to be a person who points fingers at someone else.

Finally, I promise to repay the debt left to me no matter what. I would also like to bow down and apologize to many of you who would have been disappointed with me for causing a social stir and rushing to hide it. I will also sincerely receive the police investigation and pay for my fault.

I am truly sorry.
