Singer Kim Jong-min confessed to being scammed three times.
In the SBS variety program 'I Live Alone' broadcast on the 19th, Yang Chi-seung, who works as a manager at a high-end apartment community center in Gangnam after closing his gym, was featured.
On this day, Kim Jong-min, along with Heo Kyung-hwan, visited the Gangnam Han River-view apartment community center where Yang Chi-seung works.
While listening to the full story of the 1st.5 billion won scam incident Yang Chi-seung experienced, Kim Jong-min empathized with his pain and revealed personal secrets he had kept hidden. He confessed, "When Coed started, I was in my early 20s. People around me suggested we start a silkworm cocoon liquor supply business together, so I invested all my assets. The liquor never arrived. After a week, there was no contact. It turned out he had fled to the United States," shocking the audience.
He continued, "In 2006, I invested in a clothing business. The clothes were good. Since it was going so well, they told me I needed to invest more, so I put in more money. Suddenly, they stopped responding. When I investigated, I found out they had gambled away the invested money at a casino," stirring up the scene.

Kim Jong-min also said, "In 2007, when I was doing alternative military service, I had a foreign car. Since I didn't need it, I asked them to sell it for me, and they said it was sold the next day. I gave them the vehicle registration certificate. After that, they stopped responding. When I checked the vehicle records, I was told it had been shipped overseas," expressing his regret.
Heo Kyung-hwan then asked, "Did you tell your wife everything before you got married?" Kim Jong-min replied, "I couldn't tell her everything. If I had told her everything, it probably wouldn't have been easy," and burst into laughter.
Kim Jong-min shared his wife's reaction upon seeing his bank account balance, saying, "She asked where I had hidden the money. I've been on TV for decades, yet she said she couldn't believe it," which brought laughter to the scene.
