Comedian Lee Jin-ho, who confessed to illegal gambling, got off JTBC's "Knowing Bros."

'Knowing Brother' said today (14th) that "Lee Jin-ho will drop out of the program from this week's recording."

Regarding the existing filming, he said, "We will edit and broadcast as much as possible."

Lee Jin-ho said on his SNS earlier in the day, "I started playing on an Internet illegal gambling site as an accidental opportunity in 2020 and took on a debt that was too much to handle," adding, "I'm so ashamed and sorry."

He said, "I would also like to bow down and apologize to many of you who would have been disappointed by me who caused a social stir and rushed to hide it. I will also sincerely receive the police investigation and pay for my fault," he apologized.

Among the people who suffered financial damage from Lee Jin-ho are celebrities such as BTS Jimin, singer Ha Sung, and comedian Lee Soo-geun.
