Broadcasters Shin Jung-hwan and Kang Byung-kyu confessed honestly about the amount and behind-the-scenes of gambling, respectively.

On the YouTube channel 'NonNonnon', which was released on the 24th, 'Is Shin Jung-hwan, Kang Byeong-gyu's first confession gambling my way?A video titled ' was posted.

In the video, Shin Jung-hwan confessed everything from the first moment he fell into gambling to the shocking loss of money.




Shin Jung-hwan was 27 when he was in his heyday of country coco, and eventually received a bill of 50 million won after the company kept delaying the settlement of accounts. I needed living expenses, but my brothers took me to Jeongseon Casino, and as 2 million won became 20 million won, I fell into gambling."

He said "At first, I think I was wrong when I was young because I was treated like a VIP when I couldn't even settle the accounts"So 'Is this the way I should go?'" he confessed to experiencing gambling for the first time.

Shin also talked about the situation of gambling in the Philippines in 2010.




Shin Jung-hwan "That was when I was actively broadcasting. An acquaintance involved in the business asked me to do a coffee business together, so I decided to go to Europe to have a meeting and go on vacation. I bought all the tickets to watch Park Ji-sung's game at Manchester United. After organizing all the broadcasting schedules, I took out about 10 days. But one of the partner brothers who was supposed to go with him changed his schedule. I think the brother will have to go only for three days, not 10 days. Let's go to Cebu, Philippines. I went with three men, but I had nothing to do at night, so I said, `Shall we go to the casino?'

Shin Jung-hwan also said, `I thought it was okay because everyone made me come and do it, rather than thinking that I was doing something wrong in going to Kangwon Land. He also said that if you lose money, people around you will lend you money, but he said, `I don't borrow money and do it.'I had to get up," he said, causing regret.

When asked how much he lost, Shin Jung-hwan surprised everyone by saying, `Wouldn't the company earn more than 10 billion won from receiving bills, exercising them, and receiving bonuses.'
