As soon as comedian Lee Jin-ho confessed to illegal gambling, he also missed the production presentation of “Comedy Revenge.”

Lee Jin-ho was scheduled to attend the production presentation of Netflix entertainment program “Comedy Revenge” at Dongdaemun V-Space in Jung-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 14th, but was absent.

The background to his absence is believed to be the fact that he has admitted to illegal gambling through his account in the past while the event is imminent. Lee Jin-ho wrote on the same day: “I accidentally started playing on an illegal internet gambling site in 2020 and ended up with prohibitive debts.”

“I promise to definitely repay the debts I have left,” he also promised.

Meanwhile: “I bow my head and apologize to many of you who would have been disappointed in me because I caused a stir in society and rushed to hide it. The police investigation will also be conducted diligently and I will pay for my mistakes.”

“Comedy Revenge” is a comedy composition in which Lee Kyung-kyu, the winner of “Comedy Royal” who caused a sensation last year, sets up a board and K-comedy representatives hug each other and burst out laughing. Lee Jin-ho will appear in the Deungchon-dong Lakers team along with Moon Se-yoon and Kim Yong-myung, and plans to present it as “Basics of the Skit.”
