>Lee borrowed 100 million won from Jimin in 2022 and signed a promissory note, lying about the use of the money, according to local news outlets. Jimin reportedly granted him a 10-year grace period for repayment and the debt still remains unpaid.

Gambling is dumb. These adults should know that by now

I didn’t even know he’s close to jimin like that to borrow a huge amount of money. Maybe he borrowed money from jimin thru jo seho, since if i remember correctly jo seho and lee jinho are also friends????

Not to diminish the severity of this news, but funny enough most people in Knowing Brothers now have gambling issues lol.
Even Lee Soo Geun had problems with gambling.

One could think being in a program with Soo-geun he should’ve known it was a bad idea. While I didn’t dislike him in other programs, when he joined Knowing Bros he didn’t add mzch for me so I won’t miss him too much there. Hope he really starts reflecting and getting out of gambling alltogether and paying everyone back their money. I am actually surprised he was this close to him to even get this much money

Jimin is way too nice. He should have reported that guy to the police

Is he the one Jimin was referring to in the BTS interview they had in 2022(since the dude borrowed that year), about having to give money out to others just to have people remain by his side?
I remember this affected him so much that he cried to his mother. I do feel for Jimin especially when you reach this kind of status and you second guess if someone truly likes you for who you are or your money

Never liked him. Couldn’t care less if he’s gone.
Probably will need to live in another country for a few years now..

You’d think being on a show with Lee Soo Geun and Lee Sang Min, he’d know better to stay away from gambling or at least manage his money better. It took Soo Geun 2-3 years to come back from his gambling scandal over a decade ago, and it took Sang Min 20 years to clear his debts from his failed businesses. It will be hard for Jinho to come back from this as he didn’t just borrow from his friends and acquaintances, but also producers, writers and executives.

Why is Jimin’s name even mentioned here? Can people stop mentioning BTS for clicks please.

Ironic, given that one of Jinho’s go-to jokes on Knowing Bros was to make fun of Sangmin’s debts. Probably wasn’t wise it was to be throwing that particular stone from that glass house of his.
At least it won’t be a big deal for Knowing Bros to lose him, given that the whole show is just Lee Soogeun and Heechul hard-carrying the rest of the cast for 90 minutes each week.

I know money is a BIG deal, but it’s probably also bringing so much stress that a person could use you like that, especially your senior in the industry.

Jimin had an interview where he mentioned people he thought were friends kept using him for his money and how it affected him so much. He has such a good heart and he didn’t deserve that.
