Shin Jung-hwan, dengue fever for illegal gambling...What do you mean, a family entertainment show?



Shin Jung-hwan, a former member of the group Country Club, revealed the reason for refusing to invite his family to entertainment shows.

On the 25th, a video titled 「The 22nd Shin Jung-hwan Mocking Party 2」 was posted on Lee Yong-jin's personal channel.

Shin Jung-hwan appeared as a guest in the released video. Shin Jung-hwan looks at the green casino table and says, "I feel at ease. My hands are itching, he revealed his gambling instincts.




Lee Yong-jin asked "Didn't there really be a call on the show?" and Shin Jung-hwan "There was a cast from a popular family program that I knew just by name." I was so grateful that I wanted to sincerely tell him that I was living, but my family said they couldn't do it because it was burdensome. (My wife) 'Do it yourself. People are asking if I'm not coming back, but my wife said 'Oppa said, 'You have to recover, not come back now.'"

Shin was summarily indicted in November 2005 for gambling at an illegal gambling center in Apgujeong. At that time, he returned to terrestrial broadcasting for the first time in three months, but in September 2010, he was expelled from KBS and MBC after it was found that he had played away gambling in the Philippines without permission while failing his broadcasting schedule such as 'flower bouquet'Star Golden Bell'Radio Star'.

In response, Shin Jung-hwan even released a photo, saying, "It is true that he entered the casino, but he was hospitalized due to dengue fever, an infectious disease." However, he was virtually expelled from the entertainment industry after it was revealed that the photo was falsely manipulated.

Shin Jung-hwan was arrested upon returning home in January 2011 while on the run in Nepal. The first trial court sentenced him to one year in prison, but Shin Jung-hwan appealed, saying that his leg could be permanently disabled, and he was reduced to eight months in prison in the second trial. And in December 2011, he was selected as a model prisoner and paroled as a Christmas special envoy.

After his release, Shin married his non-celebrity wife in 2014. Later, he ran an ice cream shop in Singapore and declared that there would be no return to broadcasting, but in 2017 he announced his return to broadcasting. However, his return performance was not good, and he has recently been active through a YouTube channel.

Public opinion is worsening after it was revealed that Shin Jung-hwan, who even staged a fraudulent act of manipulating dengue fever due to the lack of illegal gambling two-outs, was invited to appear on family entertainment shows.
