S.E.S. Shoo 'I got worked on and illegally gambled'..a first confession
Shu (Yoo Soo-young), a former member of the group S.E.S., opened her mouth for the first time since the gambling controversy.

Shoo opened a YouTube channel "Human That's Shoo" on the 8th and 'The controversial incident..I'll tell you everything todayI posted a video titled '.

In the video, Shu appeared awkwardly with her husband, former professional basketball player Lim Hyo-sung.




Earlier, after the gambling controversy, Shu turned into an Internet broadcaster BJ and broadcasted in an exposed costume, which was under criticism, and he was in a situation where he had to pay " (at that time), but then the BJ recruitment came in. It had just become an issue. I didn't know the broadcast would come out like that. I hope my channel is just a channel where I communicate with fansI wanted to do something that I couldn't talk about with fans, but I chose the wrong clothes on the first show. I thought a lot about the clothes for the first broadcast. At that time, the trend was cut out. But when I stand in front of that light and camera, it's seen wrong. I regretted it a lot. It wasn't like I got a star balloon or anything. That's not the kind of broadcast I wanted."

"Fans will know at the time. I kept communicating with the fans and laughed a lot. Of course, the article came out really bad, but I decided to get a down payment there and there was something I had to settle with this money. If you have a down payment, there are definitely bad things. I know that, but I didn't have a choice. I thought, 'Yes, I can take the down payment, turn off the urgent fire, and make my broadcast on my own.' The article fell to the point where there was no further decline in the fall. Even so, it's funny to make an excuse, he said.

The production team "Gambling controversy continues even now. When asked why you gambled, Shu detailed how he first encountered gambling in Las Vegas.




Shu "I went to Las Vegas for an event, and someone was very good at English and pretty and Korean. This person really liked me. There were a lot of things like, 'Come to eat', 'Let's do something together'. I also went if I called him because I liked him. Then, we met. Do you want to go somewhere fun? Do you have a resident registration card?They said '. I gave my younger brother my resident registration card. I'm that... I don't think it's because I haven't been in social life... I said, 'Let's play here for a while', so I asked 'What's this place doing?', and he said it was a card place. That's why I went now." He explained the situation at the time.

Lim Hyo-sung, listening to Shu's story, kicked off his seat and went outside, saying "Be honest, everything".

Shu is "I'm being honest"When my younger brother called somewhere, he said he would lend me money, so 100 million won came to the taxi in cash." I've never seen anything like that before. He was stupidly envious of it again. I didn't know this was all a team. A loan shark and his brother. It was a crew whose younger brother lent money to the casino. I did it little by little, but my younger brother swells up by a few thousand times. As my younger brother kept picking it, the board grew on its own. It was a hell of a place. It was funny for me to have hope there. I didn't think about losing it, I just thought about 'I can win' Now that you're saying that...", he confessed.




At the same time, Shu also revealed that he was told that he had been `worked' during the prosecution's investigation at the time.

Shu "The prosecutor did. 'Totally worked on it' However, he said that he had no choice but to deal with it as a violation of the Foreign Exchange Management Act because it was so known to the public. "I gambled, but I didn't know the world and I thought, 'Oh, this is life.'"

Earlier in 2018, Shu was accused of fraud by borrowing 600 million won from two people at a hotel casino in Seoul and not paying them back. Although he was cleared of fraud charges, it was confirmed that he habitually gambled around 700 million won several times abroad, including Macau, from August 2016 to May 2018.

Prosecutors indicted Shu without detention in 2018 on charges of habitual gambling abroad, and Shu was sentenced to six months in prison and two years of probation.
