Shin Jung-hwan took a picture of himself 15 years ago and apologized every five years for mentioning dengue



Shin Jung-hwan, a former member of the group Country Coco, revealed the whole story 'Denggi Fever Incident'.

On the 24th, a video titled 「Endless gossip and scandal」 was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Fix the Channel'. Guests included Shin Jung-hwan, Kang Byeong-gyu, Lim Deok-young and Jang Hye-ri.

As soon as Shin Jung-hwan appeared on this day, Kang Byung-kyu said, `Did you come back from the Philippines. Were you able to come in?" he said, embarrassing everyone by mentioning Shin Jung-hwan's away gambling case.




In 2010, Shin Jung-hwan was arrested and sentenced to eight months in prison on charges of overseas gambling. At that time, Shin Jung-hwan caused controversy by falsely explaining that he had an acute virus dengue fever in the Philippines to cover up the suspicion of away gambling. Since then, Shin Jung-hwan has been banned from appearing on MBC and KBS due to habitual gambling and fraud.

Immediately, Kang Byeong-gyu praised "The founder of the universal talent is Jeong-hwan", but Jang Hye-ri asked "Is there anything you're doing right?"

In response, Shin Jung-hwan made a self-destructive joke, saying, `I couldn't do only baccarat (gambling game)' and then acted as well. I did it with Cha Seung Won, too..," he added.




Kang Byeong-gyu also said "Didn't you act lying down?" Patient acting in bed," he said referring to an incident in the Philippines where he lied that he had dengue fever.

Shin Jung-hwan "With a picture from 15 years ago.."I couldn't continue, and Jang Hye-ri wedged "Are you healthy now?"

In response, Shin Jung-hwan gave up "All the heat has gone down". Regarding the whole story of the dengue fever incident at the time, Shin Jung-hwan said, `I said I did something wrong because I came out every five years, but I wasn't really sick.' `My close brother called me. I was surprised to see the news and told me 'Jung Hwan, first say dengue fever and go lie down' The phone call between him and me was also on the show. The older brother confessed 'I named him dengue fever'I did'




In particular, Shin Jung-hwan asked 'How did you overcome the gossip?'"There were some younger sisters who had a little time for celebrities to take a rest. Whenever I did that, I was kind to talk on the phone. Don't you feel embarrassed when you can't go and wear hats when there are a lot of people. So I said 'Go on a trip. I made a route to the countryside. That's Shin Jung-hwan's self-reflection road. It's explaining the path I took. Because it's dangerous to drink alone or alone at home. So I confided that 'Don't be alone at home'
