 'Illegal Gambling' Lee Jinho 'Comedy Revenge's sudden..'The dedication and hard work of hundreds of staff'
Netflix 'Comedy Revenge' revealed its position on broadcaster Lee Jin-ho's illegal gambling scandal.

Netflix 'Comedy Revenge's side told Sports Chosun "We are very sorry to hear about it on the eve of its release."All content, including "'Comedy Revenge', is a result of the dedication and efforts of hundreds of staff, producers, and officials who worked behind the screen as well as many comedians. Due to the composition of the program conducted as a group team match, there is a structural limitation in that the composition of the story is not established for the full editing of a specific team. I'd like to express my understanding."

Lee Jin-ho confessed on his personal account that he owed hundreds of millions of won to his acquaintances due to illegal gambling. Lee Jin-ho said, `I started playing games on illegal gambling sites on the Internet by chance in 2020 and took on an unaffordable debt.' `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 constantly paying back my money every month, and I will continue to repay all this debt on my own until I die.'

Even this day was the day of the production presentation of the Netflix entertainment series 'Comedy Revenge', in which Lee Jin-ho appeared, and Lee Jin-ho showed an irresponsible attitude by notifying him of his absence on the day.Lee Jin-ho is known to have borrowed hundreds of millions of won from acquaintances such as BTS (BTS) Jimin and comedian Lee Soo-geun.

Producer Kwon Hae-bom said, `It would have been nice if we had time to figure it out, but I heard the news just before I came in. I haven't got a proper grasp of the text yet, and I'm trying to grasp it. The production team had no idea." Lee Kyung-gyu also said "'Comedy Revenge' is not a one-man program. There are all 22 comedians, so the program doesn't shake through one person's personal life. I heard the news a little while ago, but I don't mind it much, and the program is going to cruise," he said, confirming that 'Comedy Revenge' will continue apart from Lee Jin-ho.
