There are a lot of victims in Lee Jinho...Even his hometowns and acquaintances are cut off.



Lee Jin-ho, who committed illegal gambling, is severely suffering from the "Knowing Brother" production team and acquaintances who lent him money.

Earlier on the 14th, Lee Jin-ho voluntarily confessed, "'I started playing games on illegal gambling sites on the Internet by chance in 2020 and I ended up with an unaffordable debt.'"

Lee Jin-ho said "I started playing games on illegal gambling sites on the Internet by chance in 2020, and I got a debt I couldn't afford. I was able to belatedly wake up to the stinging advice of my acquaintances and the fear that I might not be able to do this job again, but I had already received financial help from many people. "I am steadily paying back the money every month, and I intend to repay all this debt on my own until I die from now on."



Later, according to the 'SBS 8 o'clock News" on the same day, Lee Jin-ho borrowed more than 1 billion won from fellow celebrities such as BTS Jimin and Lee Soo-geun.

In addition, it is reported that the amount of money borrowed from a loan company is more than 1.3 billion won, and it is reported that it owes at least 2.3 billion won.



In addition, Lee Jin-ho was accused of fraud in June because he borrowed tens of millions of won from an acquaintance even though he was not capable of paying back the money. However, as an agreement was reached between the parties early last month, the victim dropped the complaint, and the police were found to have not sent the case. However, it has not been confirmed whether Lee Jin-ho borrowed money because of illegal gambling.

The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul has received requests for investigation of Lee Jin-ho's habitual gambling and fraud charges through the Kookmin Newspaper, and is conducting an internal investigation. The case has been allocated to Division 2 of Investigation. After looking into the contents of the complaint, we will review whether to file a formal complaint or not,' he said.

In addition, Lee Jin-ho's entertainment president on the 15th, 'Shocking alone! I got goosebumps after comedian Lee Jinho acknowledged it! The video titled 'Why I'm shocked by the brothers I know' was released.

YouTuber "I'll tell you what Lee Jin-ho is up to now. The people who lent Lee Jin-ho money are answering Lee Jin-ho's phoneIt is said that Lee Jin-ho is crying and turning the phone to the people who lent him the money. Saying that I would pay back the money without avoiding contact itself is not positive, but I should pay back the money quickly rather than shedding tears.

He "Lee Jin-ho does not appear to have any bond debt at this time. It is impossible to lend 1.3 billion won without collateral because he is a celebrity. It is not right to say that just because you are a celebrity, you should lend it without collateral and pay back the principal.

Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, which appointed Lee Jin-ho as an ambassador, also dismissed Lee Jin-ho immediately after the controversy broke out.

Lee Jin-ho, a native of Jangan-myeon, Hwaseong-si, was appointed as a public relations ambassador for two years in March last year and has served as a public relations ambassador at various events and festivals in Hwaseong-si, but the controversy has also disgraced him in his hometown.

JTBC 'Knowing Brothers', which Lee Jin-ho newly joined, was also struck by a sudden attack.

The members talked about Min Kyung-hoon's marriage before the guest appeared in Knowing Brothers, which aired on the 19th, but Lee Jin-ho only showed his back in the group shot, and the individual shot was completely edited.

Starting this week, Lee Jin-ho did not participate in filming 'Knowing Brother' and got off. The previous filming will be edited and aired as much as possible," he said, drawing the line immediately to Lee Jin-ho's controversy.
