BTS leader RM is fired up after Jimin got scammed!

Comedian Lee Jin Ho allegedly ripped off 100 million KRW (roughly Rs 62 lakh) from him.

While RM didn’t name the culprit, he turned to his latest lyrics for support, backing Jimin and calling out the wrongdoings.

BigHit confirmed the chaos.

On Instagram Stories, RM shared, ‘So many annoying ba*tards in the world—who cares? Just keep going your way; clueless fools are everywhere!’

The scandal surrounding BTS’ Jimin and comedian Lee Jin Ho has sent shockwaves through the Korean entertainment industry.

Reports reveal that in 2022, Jimin lent Lee Jin Ho ₩100 million KRW after learning about the comedian’s urgent financial difficulties.

Recently, Lee Jin Ho confessed to struggling with a severe gambling addiction, admitting that he used the money from Jimin to support this harmful habit. He also disclosed that he had borrowed money from various other celebrities, fabricating false stories about tax troubles and family issues to secure the loans. This shocking revelation quickly spread online, generating both public outrage and sympathy for Jimin, who is currently serving in the military.

Jimin wasn't the only victim of Lee Jin Ho's deceit; other stars, including Lee Soo Geun and Ha Sung Woon, were also drawn into the scam. Despite being swindled, Jimin showed remarkable generosity, allowing Lee Jin Ho ten years to repay the ₩100 million KRW loan.

On October 14, Lee Jin Ho posted a lengthy message confessing to his financial troubles and gambling addiction. His heartfelt note read, ‘Hello, I am Lee Jin Ho. I want to open up about a shameful chapter of my life due to my poor decisions. I began engaging in illegal online gambling in 2020, which resulted in significant debt. After receiving tough advice from friends and realizing the threat to my career, I finally understood the seriousness of the situation and managed to stop gambling.’

Unfortunately, by that time, he had already borrowed money from numerous individuals.

In response to the scandal, the show Knowing Bros announced that Lee Jin Ho would be leaving the program immediately.
