The Gangnam Police Station in Seoul said on the 17th that it sent Lee Jin-ho to the prosecution on gambling charges on the 15th. The police launched an investigation based on complaints about gambling and fraud charges received through the National Newspaper.
Lee Jin-ho previously confessed on his personal SNS in October 2023 that `I accidentally accessed an illegal gambling site on the Internet in 2020 and started the game, and ended up with an unaffordable debt.'
In the process, it was reported that group BTS (BTS) Jimin and comedian Lee Soo-geun helped financially, and both reportedly suffered some damage.
Lee Jin-ho made his debut as an SBS open comedian in 2005 and made his face known by appearing in a number of entertainment programs, including 'Comedy Big League' and 'Knowing Bros'.
