The Jeju National Police Agency said on the 4th that it has booked Lee Chun-soo on charges of violating (fraud) the Act on Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, etc. after receiving a complaint on fraud charges last month. The police explained that the complaint states that Lee Chun-soo received 130 million won nine times from 2021 to April by asking his acquaintance A to lend him living expenses in November 2018, but did not reimburse him.
The complainant A is known to claim that Lee Chun-soo said he would pay back the money he borrowed by 2023, but he has been out of touch since the fall of 2021. It also claims that Lee Chun-soo invested 500 million won by offering to distribute the proceeds if he invested in his acquaintance, but did not receive the proceeds properly as well as the principal.
Lee Chun-soo reportedly admitted to receiving the money, but denied the fraud claims.
Seogwipo Police Station received a complaint from A, conducted an investigation into the complainant, and transferred the case to the Jeju Police Agency, a higher-level agency. The police are investigating the matter.
Meanwhile, Lee Chun-soo operates a YouTube channel with 780,000 subscribers and a soccer class in Seogwipo, Jeju Island.
