It has been reported that BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) member Jimin suffered financial damage from comedian Lee Jin-ho, who caused a stir with illegal gambling. On the 14th, RM, the leader, attracted attention with a meaningful post on his Instagram story, sharing lyrics from his solo song 'Groin': 'Yo, there are many annoying people in the world,' 'What do you want me to do? Just go your own way,' 'There are many incomprehensible people in the world.' This song was released in May of this year, and various speculations have arisen regarding the reason for posting these lyrics. Some netizens claim that it was a post aimed at Lee Jin-ho, who borrowed 100 million won (about 1 million dollars) from Jimin. Earlier that same day, Lee Jin-ho, who confessed to past illegal gambling, admitted to borrowing large sums of money from many celebrities, including Jimin, and apologized. In response, BIGHIT MUSIC revealed, 'It is true that Jimin suffered financial damage, and everything was done by creating a loan document.'
