[OSEN=장우영 기자] ‘Knowing Bros‘ could not completely erase comedian Lee Jin-ho, who suspended his activities due to illegal gambling charges. However, it is expected that we will not be able to see Lee Jin-ho completely from next week’s broadcast.
JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’, which aired on the 2nd, featured a special feature on ‘International students who came across the water’. Brian, Sam Hammington, Kiss of Life’s Natty, and Julie appeared as guests on this day’s broadcast.
In the opening, Lee Soo-geun, Lee Sang-min, Kim Young-cheol, Kim Hee-cheol, and Min Kyung-hoon appeared wearing different uniforms. As October and November are the months with many anniversaries for uniformed workers, the intention was to thank and support their hard work. While Kang Ho-dong and Seo Jang-hoon were wearing school uniforms, Lee Jin-ho, who left the show on suspicion of illegal gambling, also appeared in school uniform, attracting attention. Previously, Jinho Lee confessed to his history of illegal gambling and stopped all broadcasting activities. Accordingly, the ‘Knowing Bros’ side decided to withdraw and announced that they would edit as much of the previously filmed footage as possible, but it appears that they were not able to completely edit it until today’s broadcast.
Lee Jin-ho was mainly seen behind Lee Soo-geun, who borrowed money while gambling illegally, or next to Lee Sang-min, in full shots. Although Lee Jin-ho’s close-up or his speaking appearance was not broadcast, it is impressive that he was captured after leaving all broadcasts. Jinho Lee was also seen cheering when each team won a game.
Meanwhile, on the 14th of last month, Jinho Lee said, “In 2020, by chance, I started playing games on an illegal internet gambling site, and ended up taking on debt that was difficult to bear. “I was able to come to my senses and quit gambling after some advice from acquaintances and the fear that I might not be able to do the job I love again, but I had already received financial help from many people,” he said. “I am so ashamed and sorry. Even if I can’t be a good person who sets an example for others, I will at least work hard to avoid becoming a person who gets criticized by others. Lastly, I promise that I will repay the remaining debt no matter what. “I will faithfully accept the police investigation and pay for my mistakes,” he said.
Jin-ho Lee, who confessed to illegal gambling, appeared at the police on the 22nd of last month and was investigated. At the time, Lee Jin-ho said, “If I have to attend and be investigated in the future, I will accept it faithfully. “I’m sorry for causing trouble,” he said. /[email protected]
