It has become clear that comedian Lee Jin-ho's girlfriend recently passed away. According to the Incheon Bupyeong Police Station, on the morning of the 5th at around 8:30 AM, Lee Jin-ho's girlfriend, Mr. A, was found dead in an apartment in Bupyeong District. Police officials stated, "No criminal activity has been confirmed. Considering the position of the bereaved family, we will refrain from disclosing detailed information." Previously, Korean media Dispatch reported on September 24 that "Lee Jin-ho's girlfriend reported him for drunk driving." It was revealed that they had a quarrel while drinking in Incheon and that despite being intoxicated, he drove his car home. The media further disclosed that Mr. A, who witnessed this, reported his drunk driving to the police. At that time, Lee Jin-ho was heavily intoxicated, with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.11%, which is equivalent to a license revocation. Reports also indicate that Mr. A had been suffering from mental distress since the aforementioned report. The police had communicated to various media outlets that they would not disclose the identity of the person who reported the drunk driving. Lee Jin-ho's agency, SM C&C, commented at the time of the incident, "We sincerely apologize for having to officially comment on such misconduct." They stated, "Upon confirming with him, he admitted to drunk driving early this morning. He is currently under investigation at the request of the local police station and is awaiting disciplinary action." Lee Jin-ho has been under scrutiny since it was revealed last October that he was involved in illegal gambling amounting to several hundred million won. He was sent to the prosecution in April of this year and has suspended all entertainment activities. It has also come to light that several celebrities were affected by his illegal gambling, as he borrowed tens of millions of won from talent Lee Seung-gun and 100 million won (about 1 million dollars) from BTS's Jimin for gambling funds and debt repayment. Additionally, it was reported that he borrowed money from several other celebrities, including Ha Sung-woon from Wanna One. Amidst reports of illegal gambling, drunk driving, and the death of his girlfriend, various reports surrounding Lee Jin-ho are attracting attention.
