The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul is investigating Lee Jin-ho at 2 p.m. on the same day as a suspect accused of habitual gambling. Lee Jin-ho, who met the reporters in front of the police station at 1:55 p.m., said "I'm sorry. I will be investigated faithfully,' he said and entered the police station.
The police are expected to ask how Lee Jin-ho became in considerable debt and whether he habitually gambled.
Lee Jin-ho said on his account on the 14th, "'I started playing on an Internet illegal gambling site by chance in 2020, and I got a debt that I can't handle.'" I promise to repay the debt left to me no matter what. I would also like to bow my head and apologize to many of you who would have been disappointed by me, who caused a social stir and was in a hurry to hide it. The police investigation will also be faithfully conducted and I will pay for my fault. I am truly sorry," he confessed voluntarily. Lee Jin-ho borrowed a large amount of money from colleagues such as Lee Soo-geun, BTS Jimin, and Ha Sung-woon by lying that his family was sick. It is estimated that Lee Jin-ho's debt alone in the entertainment industry due to illegal gambling is well over 2 billion won.
