'Trainer and broadcaster Yang Chi-seung shared his recent updates, having started anew after suffering a 1.5 billion won fraud loss.

'In the SBS variety program "I Live Alone" broadcast on the 19th, Yang Chi-seung was shown working as a manager at a high-end apartment community center in Gangnam after closing his gym.

'On that day, Heo Kyung-hwan and Kim Jong-min visited Yang Chi-seung's workplace, a community center in a Gangnam apartment with a Han River view.

'Yang Chi-seung treated the two to homemade food and shared his recent updates. He is in charge of managing all community facilities within the apartment, including the gym, swimming pool, golf course, sky lounge, and breakfast service.

'Yang Chi-seung confessed, "Although the program stated the fraud amount was 1.5 billion won, I didn't even receive the key money. When you add up the refunds to members, lawyer fees, and the drop in sales, the total is even higher. I also took out a mortgage on the apartment and am still paying the interest. I even had to sell my car."

'He remarked, "It's about one-tenth of what I earned when I was making a lot of money. I thought I should live stably once I turned 50, but it feels like starting all over again." He then added, "At first, I didn't tell my family because I was worried they'd be upset. But the children found out, and from one day on, they stopped receiving tutoring. In the summer, they even took away the air conditioner remote and hid it." He expressed his sorrowful feelings.

'Meanwhile, Yang Chi-seung drew attention by revealing he appeared on "Black and White Cooking Lisa" due to his interest in cooking. He said, "I received many offers to appear on fitness programs, but since I love cooking, I went on 'Black and White Cooking Lisa.' I was on screen for only three seconds. I was completely edited out," sharing this with a laugh.

'He added, "My family and I all watched it, thinking I would appear. But after the first episode passed and the second one went by, I still didn't show up. The children looked at me and then each went to their own rooms. I had to rewatch it alone from the beginning, which felt bitter."
