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.
Earlier in the day, Ten Asia borrowed KRW 100 million, saying that Lee Jin-ho would spend only a week because Jimin needed an emergency supply in 2022. At the time, Jimin used an IOU, but in fact, Jimin saw that Lee Jin-ho was not willing to pay back the money, so he showed mercy, saying, 'Pay back in 10 years only," he reported.
According to the media, in addition to Jimin, other celebrities reportedly suffered financial damage to Lee Jin-ho.
Meanwhile, on the same day, Lee Jin-ho confessed and apologized on social media.
Lee Jin-ho admitted that he received financial help from many people, saying, `I started playing games on illegal gambling sites on the Internet by chance in 2020 and ended up with an unbearable debt.'
As for the reason for confessing the fact belatedly, "When I got a phone call from an unknown number, would it be a debt-related call? My heart was racing, and I felt like I was being beaten every day by the fear of when this would be known to the world"I had to work so I could repay my debt a little bit, so wouldn't that be my own greed?" I couldn't make a choice right away."
Lee Jin-ho said, "'I'm constantly paying back the money every month, and I'm going to repay all this debt on my own until I die in the future.'"I truly regret the past day when I ruined it with a misjudgment at one point." The police investigation will also be faithfully conducted and I will pay for my fault,' he said.

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.
