”BTS” JIMIN, ”confesses to illegal gambling” - financial trouble with talent... money lent to him used for ”gambling”

It has been revealed that JIMIN of the Korean boy band "BTS" has suffered financial damage from comedian Lee Jinho, who has confessed to illegal gambling.
Jimin's management office, Big Hit Music, said on the 14th (today), "As reported in the media, it is true that financial damage occurred, and the loan was made with a written IOU.
"Everything I've given is everything," he said. Earlier that day, a Korean media outlet reported that JIMIN and others had lent Lee Jinho hundreds of millions of won (tens of millions of yen).
reported that in 2022, JIMIN lent Lee JINHO 100 million won (approximately 10 million yen) and wrote a IOU, but Lee JINHO never repaid it.
Previously, Lee Jinho posted on his social media account, "By chance in 2020, I was involved in an illegal online gambling site.
So I started playing games and ended up with unmanageable debts," he said. "Due to harsh warnings from acquaintances and the fear that I might no longer be able to do the job I love,
I came to my senses a little later and was able to quit gambling, but I was already receiving financial support from many people," he confessed.
I intend to continue to repay this debt with all my own efforts until the day I die."
