Next, the full text of Lee Jinho's writings.

Hello, I'm Lee Jinho.

Sorry, I'm writing to confess my shameful past based on my misjudgment.

I accidentally started gambling on an illegal online gambling site in 2020 and I have debts that I can't afford. I awoke belatedly to the stinging advice of my acquaintances and the fear that I might never be able to do what I love again, but I had already received financial help from many people.

I pay the money back every month and will continue to repay this debt on my own until I die. A financial loss is also a loss, but above all I felt very sorry for those who trusted me and lent me money. When I received a call from an unknown number, my heart raced and I felt like I was filled every day with fear of when the world would know about it.

Rather, I thought that I could at least get out of this fear after confessing everything and being punished, but I had to work to repay my debt a little, so wouldn't that be my own greed? I couldn't decide right away.

I'm so embarrassed and sorry. As a celebrity on the show, I really regret the past when I forgot my duty and ruined it through a moment of misjudgment. Even if I don't become a good person who serves as a role model for others, I will at least try not to be a person who points the finger at someone else.

Finally, I promise to definitely repay the debts I have left. I would also like to bow and apologize to many of you who would have been disappointed in me for causing a stir in society and hiding it so quickly. I will also accept the police investigation sincerely and pay for my guilt.

I'm really sorry.
