On the 14th, Lee Jin-ho said, `I started playing on an illegal gambling site on the Internet by chance in 2020, and I got a debt that I couldn't afford. I'm so embarrassed. I'm sorry," he wrote in a lengthy post.
He "I'm paying off my money steadily every month, and I'm going to pay off all this debt on my own until I die."When I got a call to an unknown number, I thought it was a debt-related call, and I felt like I was being beaten every day by the fear of when this would be known to the world," he added.
"I thought I could at least get out of this anxiety after confessing everything and being punished, but I couldn't make a choice because I had to work to pay off my debt a little bit."

The media reported that Lee Jin-ho did not fulfill the loan at the time, and Jimin believed he was not willing to pay back the money and said "Pay it back in 10 years only."
According to the media, Lee Jin-ho borrowed money not only from Jimin, but also from comedians Lee Soo-geun, singers Young-tak, and Ha Sung-woon, and broadcasting company executives, PDs, and writers suffered similar damage, so the number of victims is expected to continue in the future.
Jimin's agency, Big Hit Music, said on the 14th that it is true that Jimin suffered financial damage, and that all he lent after using an IOU card.
Meanwhile, Lee Jin-ho debuted through SBS 'Looking for Laughs' in 2005 and received a lot of love through tvN 'Comedy Big League' and JTBC 'Knowing Bros'.
