Comedian Lee Jin-ho is being edited out of JTBC 'Knowing Brother' amid controversy over illegal gambling, and the scandal is spreading.

CNBLUE's Jung Yong-hwa, Kang Min-hyuk, and Lee Jung-shin appeared as guests on the 19th. On this day, Min Kyung-hoon's marriage became a hot topic and a friendly atmosphere was created where the members' stories of the wedding song were exchanged. Kang Ho-dong encouraged the members to sing at the wedding, saying, `I hope it will be a meaningful wedding.' Min Kyung-hoon said, `It's great because we've been together for almost 10 years.'

However, even in this bright atmosphere, Lee Jin-ho, who confessed to illegal gambling, was humiliated by being edited after briefly appearing in the initial group cut. Lee Jin-ho disappeared without saying goodbye in the program he had been with for three years.



Lee Jin-ho confessed illegal gambling and debt problems through his personal account on the 14th. The shocking confession was made just before the production presentation of the Netflix entertainment show 'Comedy Revenge', which made it difficult for both the crew and the cast to hide their embarrassment.

Lee Jin-ho's entertainment programs have been busy trying to minimize his appearance due to the scandal. 'Knowing Brother' also said it would edit the pre-recorded amount as much as possible, but 'Comedy Revenge', which consists of team matches, is in a difficult situation to edit in full.



Lee Jin-ho said on social media, `Although I withdrew from gambling, I had already received financial help from many people.' `I will repay the remaining debts and faithfully participate in the police investigation." he said. In particular, the controversy is growing as it is known that the amount of money borrowed from fellow celebrities exceeds 1 billion won.
