Youngtak Clears Up Rumors: Loan to Lee Jin Ho Fully Repaid!

In a recent statement on October 15th KST, singer Youngtak’s agency confirmed that the money he lent to comedian Lee Jin Ho has been fully repaid, putting to rest rumors and concerns surrounding the situation.

Abyss Company, Youngtak’s management, stated, “Youngtak did not incur any financial losses due to Lee Jin Ho. Last year, on July 18th, Lee Jin Ho approached Youngtak for financial assistance regarding tax issues. Youngtak willingly helped, and by September 12th, the entire amount had been reimbursed.”

This clarification comes in response to the growing concerns from fans who were worried about the singer’s financial standing. The rumors intensified on October 14th when reports emerged that Lee Jin Ho was entangled in a scandal involving illegal online gambling, leading him to amass significant debts. Many speculated that Youngtak might also fall victim to this situation.

Adding to the drama, BTS member Jimin has also been linked to Lee Jin Ho’s gambling issues. Big Hit Music, Jimin’s agency, confirmed the connection: “As reported, there has been financial damage caused by Lee Jin Ho, and he only provided a loan agreement without receiving repayment.” This association has further escalated chatter within the K-pop community, as fans express their shock over the incidents involving their beloved stars.

In a world where celebrity finances intertwine with personal struggles, this incident serves as a reminder that fame does not always equate to financial stability. Fans are eager to see how these developments will affect the careers of both Youngtak and Jimin moving forward.
