In 2020, I started playing games on an illegal online gambling site, which led to me getting into huge debt. After receiving harsh advice from friends and fearing losing the job I loved, I finally realized the seriousness of the situation and was able to stop gambling.
However, by then, I had already sought financial help from many people." The comedian who starred in the popular variety show Knowing Brothers expressed regret to everyone who lent him money. Now Lee Jin Ho is ready to bear all the consequences. "I continue to pay off the debt every month and plan to pay it off completely.
With the huge financial loss, I feel very sorry for those who trusted me and lent me money. Every time I receive a call from an unknown number, my heart beats fast, fearing that it is related to my debt. Every day I struggle with anxiety about when this situation will become public knowledge."
